Airmax is the new smart bike sensor from Schwalbe, which is at your side in any situation. The TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) is mounted on the valve of your bike tire and measures the tire pressure in real time. For more safety and performance. For all types of bikes and e-bikes. The sensor data is transferred via Bluetooth directly to your smartphone in the Schwalbe app. This lets you know at all times whether the tire pressure is still in the optimal range. If a pressure difference occurs, you will be informed immediately via notifications and acoustic signals. Convenient: You can calculate the right tire pressure directly in the app via the Schwalbe Pressure Prof. The optimal tire pressure range is also calculated. The home screen is the heart of the app. All important information is shown there: The current tire pressure in the front and rear wheel including tire pressure status, the temperature and the battery status. Next to the dashboard, you'll find the Pressure Prof. The advantages of the Schwalbe Airmax at a glance: - Continuous real-time measurement of tire pressure. - Increased feeling of safety while riding - Calculation of the appropriate tire pressure - Monitoring of the optimal tire pressure range - More performance due to better adjusted and monitored tire pressure - Temperature measurement - Quick and easy pairing thanks to Bluetooth - Notifications in case of acute pressure deviations
