MotoGP does not even use Nitrogen. They just have air drier setups to make sure there is no moisture.If your name is Marc Marquez or indeed any of the MotoGP/WSBK riders, then go ahead and fill your tyres with nitrogen, otherwise save your money to put gas in your tank because you will never be able to tell the difference when you are riding a bike on the road or dirt, although your wallet will feel lighter!
Looks kinda bulky but I will definitely be checking it out next time I’m at Harbor Freight .Here is a gauge from Harbor Freight. I can't attest to longevity since I've only had it about six months. But I really like that you can let air out by the button on the connector. It also reads in PSI, Kg/cm2, kPa, and Bar upto 150psi, and is back lit. $20usd.

Makes sense, the tires aren’t used long enough for permeation to be an issue. Dryness is indeed the main advantage of nitrogen. The process of separating N2 from air makes it very dry. Dry air and 100% N2, in spite of what some will claim, have the exact same expansion rates per the ideal gas law.MotoGP does not even use Nitrogen.

They also preheat the tires. I know they do it for traction, but it removes heat expansion also.MotoGP does not even use Nitrogen. They just have air drier setups to make sure there is no moisture.
It's not going to fit in your pocket, but it stores easily.Looks kinda bulky but I will definitely be checking it out next time I’m at Harbor Freight .
