Product Information
Full details
The Airshot Tubeless Tyre Inflator is designed for mountain bike and road cyclists who struggle to seat stubborn tubeless tyres without the luxury of a professional workshop compressor. By acting as a high-pressure reservoir that you charge with a standard track pump, it provides the rapid burst of air needed to snap tyre beads into place on the rim. While highly effective, users should note that it requires a manual track pump to reach the necessary pressures and involves a slight learning curve regarding valve flow rates.

FAQs
Do I need a special pump to use the Airshot?
No, any standard track pump capable of reaching 120-130 psi will work perfectly.
Can I use this for both Road and MTB tyres?
Yes, the Airshot is versatile enough to seat tyres across various cycling disciplines provided the valve type is compatible.
Why do I need to remove the valve core?
Removing the valve core creates the largest possible opening for air to flow, which is critical for seating difficult beads quickly.
What is the maximum pressure the Airshot can hold?
The Airshot is rated for a maximum pressure of 160 psi.
Is the Airshot a one-time use product?
No, it is designed to be a reusable, long-lasting tool for your home workshop.
How much does the Airshot weigh?
The device weighs approximately 0.620 kg.
Troubleshooting
Air is leaking around the valve stem during inflation
Ensure the valve core adapter is tightened securely and verify that the rim tape is not interfering with the valve seat.
Tyre bead is not snapping into place
Remove the valve core entirely before attaching the Airshot to increase airflow, and ensure you have charged the unit to at least 120 psi.
Canister loses pressure before it can be released
Check that the release tap is fully closed before you begin pumping air into the canister.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Eliminates the need for an expensive or bulky air compressor
- Works with standard floor pumps
- Compact and portable form factor
- High build quality ensures long-term reliability

Cons
- Requires manual effort from a track pump to fill
- Maximum pressure of 160 psi requires a capable track pump

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your tubeless rim tape is securely applied and your valve stem is clean. For the best results, remove the valve core before connecting the Airshot hose, as this creates a wider aperture for air to pass through, significantly increasing the success rate of seating the bead.
- Ensure the Airshot release tap is in the closed position.
- Attach the hose to your tyre valve stem using the core adapter.
- Connect your track pump to the canister and inflate to the desired PSI.
- Open the Airshot tap quickly to release the air.
After use, store the unit in a cool, dry place. Periodically check the rubber hoses for any signs of cracking or wear and ensure the valve connections remain tight. Do not exceed the 160 psi maximum pressure rating.
