      It has been researched and concluded that Nitrogen has proved better than Air.
      Nitro does not allow moisture like Air>> long life of tyre,rubber does not harden or become brittle with aging, keeps the tyres cool>> A + for long rides.
      The tyres remains in shape>> dont know the exact concept of this(coz its lighter and spreads evenly).
      They remain intact>> so pressue is maintained for longer period comparatively.
      M running it in chennai in my P200 for like 500kms and so far so good!!!!
      Filling method:
      For First time>> The guy just plugs in the cable, the generator shows VACUMING....... on the screen.
      U can see the tyre deflated and it goes dead flat.
      Then it beeps and shows CHARGING......again a double beep n its done.

        I've used on my bike during long trips. I felt bike glides through small pot holes without much discomfort.

        Also, for the Tri-state ride, will get my tires filled with Nitrogas for better road grip and riding comfort.

          other than above mentioned benifits, esp for cars, the tyre noise decreases considerably.
          It did in my car. 55 profile tyre.

          More important>>
          Your bike's air filling frequency reduces, ie you can ride for atleast thrice between two air pressure check-ups.
          why>> normal air has moisture, O2 who expand when the tyre heats up and contracts when cooled down. in this cycle some, very little, air is lost which adds up in a week's time to 1-3 PSIs

          Tyres remain cool >> Alloys don't get very hot >> no gap, however minuscule, is formed between alloy and tyre for air to escape.
          Also good for dispensing the heat generated by brakes, esp drum liners.


          Caution:

          Tyre and alloys should be in good condition. esp alloy should be true.
          The vendor or filling station should be trustworthy. ie no normal air in the name of nitrogen, like most PPs sell normal Petrol as Speed/Power.
