The Rocky Creek MotoPressor MiniPump V2 impressed reviewer John Milbank in his March 2026 test. Priced at £79.90, the Australian-made pump proved reliable in both workshop trials and a real roadside puncture at 70mph on a Honda VFR800.
At 290 grams, the MiniPump is compact yet practical. It runs on the motorcycle’s battery using a standard SAE connector and draws around 1.6 amps. It can inflate a 170/70 R17 tyre from flat to 42 psi in about six and a half minutes. It includes three programmable pressure presets, an automatic shut-off, and a clear digital display.
Milbank noted two small drawbacks: it sometimes stops early and lacks a pressure release valve. Adding a Velcro strap for the long cable helped with storage.
The MotoPressor’s accuracy was within 1.5 psi of an analogue gauge. Its case, spare hose, and optional crocodile clips add to its portability. The pump scored high for reliability and ease of use, standing above cheaper battery-powered units.
Many riders use SAE connectors already for chargers, so the pump fits directly into existing setups. Milbank called it a smart investment and said he never rides without it. Reliable, compact, and ready when needed.
My two cents…
The Rocky Creek MotoPressor MiniPump V2 got the thumbs‑up from reviewer John Milbank back in March 2026. For £79.90, this Aussie gadget proved its worth, first in the workshop, then heroically rescuing a Honda VFR800 after a 70 mph puncture. Not bad for something the size of a chunky Mars Bar. At 290 grams, it plugs into your bike’s SAE lead, inflates a 170/70 R17 to 42 psi in about six‑and‑a‑half minutes, and shuts itself off like a smart toaster. Minor grumbles? It sometimes quits early and forgot a pressure‑release valve. Still, Milbank swears by it, because no one wants to discover “cheap” means “walking.”
