Top 5 hand pumps

Review

The Zefal Air Profil Micro mini pump is one of the smallest we’ve ever seen, and with a hefty maximum of 100psi, it goes to show that size really doesn’t matter. We’re also enamoured by the great choice of metallic colours to brighten up any bike and a stylish design that gives the appearance of a much more expensive inflator.

The pump is compatible with both Presta and Schrader valves and is very comfortable to use – which is always good to hear when you have a fair few minutes of pumping action ahead of you. There’s also a bottle cage mount included so you never forget it.

The Blackburn Airstik Anyvalve pump is a handy hand pump to have around. It’s compatible with any kind of valve, without the need for any adaptors, so it’s straightforward to use. The dual stroke feature makes it very efficient, as it inflates when you’re both pushing and pulling, giving your arms less of a challenge.

The ergonomic folding T-handle makes it easy to transport and versatile to use, and the thumb lever lock provides a reassuringly firm grip on smooth valves and valve extenders. There’s also a frame mount and a lifetime Blackburn warranty.

The Beto 2 Way Alloy Swivelhead pump is incredibly stylish to look at, with its smart silver and black colourscheme which will complement any bike. It will fit handily in a saddlebag or in your pocket, close at hand to come to the rescue on the road or trail.

As it’s made of aluminium, it’s very light and durable, so it will accompany you happily for many an adventure. The auto adjust head fits both Presta and Schrader valves and the dust cap included keeps everything nice and clean.
