Quarq Announce ‘Tyrewiz’ Tyre Pressure Monitor

Tyrewiz works with a companion app or bike computer and offers real time tyre pressure readings.

Quarq have announced the release of an innovative new product that will help provide exact tyre pressure information – a valve stem addition weighing 10grams and known as the Tyrewiz.

Lightweight, durable, and powered by a long-lasting user-replaceable coin cell battery, TyreWiz monitors air pressure in real-time and relays the data to a cycling computer or a smartphone.

The TyreWiz app uses that data to deliver personalized recommendations and pressure alerts. Riders will have access to precise tyre pressure data to make decisions that can affect rolling resistance, traction, wear, and comfort.

Bicycling Australia are yet to test the Tyrewiz, however US Bicycling have stated ‘I hardly noticed the TyreWiz once installed … riding fast descents on the road didn’t produce an unbalanced feel or the speed wobbles I expected.’

The Tyrewiz is expected to be available in Australia from June and retail for $299 per pair of units.
