£60 Chinese TyreWiz Killer?

April 03, 2026
RideNow TPMS1 review, a £60 tyre pressure sensor from AliExpress that claims to do what SRAM's TyreWiz does for a fraction of the price. I tested them on road and gravel to find out.

Created: April 03, 2026The reviewer tested the RideNow TPMS T1 tire pressure monitoring system, finding it functional once set up but difficult to pair with Garmin devices. The sensors provide accurate real-time pressure readings on compatible head units and phones, work with any Presta valve, and don't leak air significantly. However, setup is complicated, documentation is poor, compatibility is limited to Garmin and phone apps, and the design is bulky.
