Flat pack fuel from Desert Fox

Desert Fox Folding Fuel Cell (3 litre)
Tourers and overlanders can travel light and go further with Desert Fox Folding Fuel Cells, which add reserve fuel capacity without the need to lug around bulky jerry cans.

Designed by serious motorcycle overlanders, who understand the need to keep baggage to a minimum, Desert Fox Folding Fuel Cells are lightweight and fold almost flat when not in use, so don’t add excess bulk like metal or plastic fuel containers.

Three sizes are available: a compact three litre, handy six litre and large capacity 20-litre. Riders can of course choose any combination of the three to suit their needs, and the carrying capacity of their machine.

A heavy-duty canvas outer protects the flexible fuel bladder inside, and features tough cotton webbing ‘daisy chains’ and heavy-duty D-rings to create plenty of options for securing to luggage, racking, a top box or panniers.

The large screw-top filler accommodates most sizes of forecourt fuel nozzle and a flexible spout, stored in it’s own pouch on top of the Fuel Cell, enables easy re-fuelling of the bike, without the need for a separate funnel; just pop on and pour.

Desert Fox Folding Fuel Cells retail at £46 for the three litre version, £49 for the six, and £55 for the 20-litre – all prices include VAT.

They’re available exclusively through BMW motorcycle accessory specialist Nippy Normans, along with the complete range of Desert Fox Pro Rider Gear.

Battle flat tyres with the Desert Fox

Ultra compact, light and powerful enough to inflate a motorcycle tyre in just 90 seconds, the Desert Fox Mini Compressor is a robust go-anywhere 12-volt pump.

Available exclusively through BMW motorcycle accessory specialist Nippy Normans, Desert Fox Pro Rider Gear was established in South Africa in 2011, but is new to the UK. Their products are developed, tested and refined by high mileage overland travellers to ensure they are of the highest quality, meet the exacting needs of motorcycling, and can be totally relied upon.

The Mini Compressor is no exception and is built to deal with the most challenging conditions, with a die-cast aluminium compressor, aluminium con rod with bearings – standard pumps have plastic rods and no bearings – and stainless steel valves. It’s also fully sealed against dust.

Quick and easy to use, it operates on DC 12 Volt and has a cigarette/Hella/BMW plug for multiple power options, so you just plug and get inflating. It’s also supplied with crocodile clips, for attaching directly to the terminals of any 12V battery.

Inside there’s direct drive technology for consistent and reliable air delivery; the compressor can inflate a BMW R1200 GS rear tyre to 2 Bar in just ± 90 seconds, allowing the rider to get back on the move and out of potentially dangerous roadside positions quicker. It has a maximum capacity of 8 Bar, and can run continuously for 8 minutes.

The flexible hose allows for easy access to tricky tyre valves, and the built in pressure gauge – which also has aluminium fittings, not plastic – features both Bar and PSI readings for an accurate pressure every time.

Although designed for those who ride where there is no access to recovery services, the Mini Compressor is equally useful for tourers and commuters, reducing reliance on often inaccurate garage forecourt pumps.

Measuring just 16cm x 5cm wide – not much bigger than a small energy drink can – and supplied with a handy carry bag, it can be stashed under a seat or in the bottom of luggage and forgotten until needed.

The Desert Fox Mini Compressor is available from Nippy Normans – the UK’s No.1 for BMW motorcycle accessories – at just £49- including VAT.
