Understanding Clik Stik Digital Gauge Accuracy

When it comes to dialing in your tire pressure, a digital display that simply shows a number isn't enough. We know that at extremely low pressures, precision is everything. A 1 psi margin of error at 3 psi isn't a minor discrepancy—it is the difference between an optimal ride and a pinch flat.
Here is a deep dive into the technology powering the Clik Stik digital gauge and what you can expect from its performance.

Under the Hood: Sensor Specifications

The Clik Stik utilizes a premium 1000 kPa digital pressure sensor, which provides a full-scale reading up to approximately 145 psi.
Rather than relying purely on display resolution to claim accuracy, we look at the actual sensor capabilities:

• Typical Linearity: ±0.29 psi
• Maximum Linearity: ±0.73 psi across the full 145 psi scale
• The sensor also features exceptionally tight absolute accuracy and hysteresis specifications.

Low-Pressure Performance (Fat Bikes & MTB)

Because of the high-quality sensor, the Clik Stik is designed to make single-digit readings genuinely meaningful. When the gauge reads 3 psi, it means 3 psi—not "somewhere between 3 and 4."
Fat bike pressures are arguably the most demanding test for any gauge because small discrepancies are immediately noticeable on the trail. The Clik Stik is built as a compact, highly accurate, general-purpose bike gauge that remains incredibly useful and precise even at these demanding low pressures.
(Note: If you are a rider who exclusively measures ultra-low fat bike pressures and requires the absolute highest possible micro-precision, a bulky, dedicated low-pressure-only gauge may still have a slight advantage. However, the Clik Stik is designed to be the best all-around tool in your kit.)

Final Accuracy Validation

Because we believe in real-world performance over theoretical numbers, we are putting the gauge through complete product validation. The final, officially published accuracy rating of the finished Clik Stik gauge will be based on these rigorous validation results, rather than just listing the display resolution.
