Ring unveils ULTRASTART + AIR – a compact jump starter and inflator

Renowned auto accessory giant, Ring Automotive, has long been dedicated to providing the aftermarket with new and exciting products, and one of its first of 2026 is the ULTRASTART + AIR!

This new product is a powerful, multi‑functional emergency tool combining a jump starter and tyre inflator in one compact unit.

Similar to other products in its portfoilio, this new product from Ring is not limited to being just one piece of equipment, but multiple. The ULTRASTART + AIR is a jump starter, tyre inflator, as well as an LED light and powerbank to ensure the user has everything available to them in an emergency. It is also a compact item that can easily be stored in the glove compartment or anywhere in the vehicle if necessary.

For the jump starter aspect of the tool, its comes with two smart clamps that offer reverse polarity protection and also has a boost function for starting dead batteries. In addition, the ULTRASTART + AIR has integrated hose storage for the tyre inflator element and a storage bag that will hold all of the extra accessories it comes with.

In terms of the engines it can assist with, it’s suitable for up to a six litre petrol and three litre diesel engine. It has a clear display, is easy to use and has an ergonomic body, so is comfortable to hold.

Marketing Director, Henry Bisson, commented: “We are regularly conducting market research on what would be the most helpful to technicians as well as drivers, which is where the ULTRASTART + AIR has come from. Having one piece of equipment that can solve a variety of problems is convenient for all and so, very popular, which is why more of the tools we’re introducing to the market are multi functional.

“The ULTRASTART + AIR is a very powerful tool and due to its suitability for many vehicles, we anticipate this being one of our bestsellers.”

RRP: £100

Ring launches its smallest & most affordable cordless tyre inflator.

Renowned auto accessory giant, Ring Automotive, is continuing to dominate the tyre care market. After its launch with its TYREInflate range earlier in the year the company has launched the TYREInflate GO 10 (RTC1600) a compact, cordless digital tyre inflator designed to make tyre care quick, simple and affordable.

Within the 20 years that Ring has been in the tyre care marketing, it has curated an award winning and highly respected range of tyre inflators. However, with the cost of living continuing to rise, the business has decided to launch a competitively priced tyre inflator range to ensure everyone has access to help they need for tyre safety.

Lightweight and easy to store, the TyreInflate GO 10 can inflate a 13” tyre from flat to 35PSI in under six minutes. Its cordless rechargeable design, flexible 20cm hose and built-in light make it practical for everyday drivers. The digital display ensures accurate readings, while three included adaptors allow inflation of sports balls and small inflatables. The inflator also comes with a storage bag for convenience.

The cordless design means that users can easily move around a vehicle to inflate tyres without wires getting in the way.

There is also a handy light to illuminate the valve in low light and it comes complete with a storage bag.

Marketing Director, Henry Bisson, commented: “We have been expanding our tyre care range rapidly over the last few years, but we’re conscious of price and wanted to ensure everyone can afford to look after their tyres, which is why we’ve launched our affordable tyre care range.

“We want to make sure people are regularly checking their tyres, as they’re such a safety critical element. Therefore, we’ve created many different models and made them easy to use, but now we want to combine this with the product being cost effective. We’re hoping with the competitive nature of this new range, there’s no reason for drivers not to have a tyre inflator in their car.”

RRP: TYREInflate GO 10 – £29.99

Six days of battery life:

Efficient energy management allows the mRing to operate for up to six days without needing a recharge. When it’s time to recharge, the magnetic charger quickly restores the ring’s full functionality, ensuring convenience and readiness every day. 

The Maxcom mRing is available now for £59.99 from Amazon.co.uk in gold, silver and black. There are eight sizes to choose from, based on a user’s finger circumference, to ensure the perfect fit. The mRing works with the Aizo Ring app which is compatible with both iOS and Android.

Ultrahuman launches world’s first smart ring with a focus on metabolism

Ultrahuman, the world’s most advanced metabolic fitness platform, has today announced the launch of its newest wearable, the Ultrahuman Ring. The metabolism-tracking wearable will measure movement, sleep and the body’s energy dynamics coupled with intelligent activity or recuperating recommendations, in real-time, to balance and take control of your health.

The Ring provides a minimal form factor with no screens or vibrations keeping you away from constant notifications. You check your details when you want to, on the app, ensuring no intrusion in your daily activities. It also comes with a power packed 5-day battery life.

The Ultrahuman ring is designed for enduring rough usage conditions and workouts. The ring’s outer surface is made of a titanium body coated with tungsten carbide which is 5 times harder than tool steel making it remarkably scratch resistant. At the same time, comfort and minimalism is at the core of the product.This is ensured by the smooth inner shell of the ring that makes it comfortable during sleep and rest scenarios.

Ultrahuman Ring works standalone or in combination with the existing advanced glucose monitoring platform, Ultrahuman M1, to offer users even deeper metabolic insights and more precise actionables for optimizing your health.

New ring from Ultrahuman – techbuzzireland

Mohit Kumar, Founder and CEO, Ultrahuman commented: “We have always believed in the power of biomarkers in terms of their ability to make health optimization more efficient. With the Ultrahuman ring and a new suite of metabolic biomarkers, you can now understand not just what’s affecting your glucose metabolism but also how to act on the insights in an efficient way.  For eg. You could figure how much of your glucose metabolism is affected by the lack of sleep vs the food itself. This is a phenomenal leap in the world of biomarkers and allows us to study various factors around human health in a unique and much more impactful way than ever.”

Some of the insights that will be available with the Ultrahuman ring would be around understanding your NEAT ( non-exercise activity thermogenesis ), sleep efficiency and its effect on glucose metabolism and food’s impact on recovery and performance.

The Ultrahuman Ring will be available for pre-order globally from 7th July 2022 and shipping will start August 2022 onwards.

Ultrahuman is a venture-backed startup that has raised $25m to date. Their investors include Alpha Wave Incubation (AWI), which is backed by DisruptAD and managed by Falcon Edge, Steadview Capital, Nexus Venture Partners, Blume Ventures and Utsav Somani’s iSeed fund, and a range of marquee founders and angel investors including Tiger Global’s Scott Schleifer.
