After a solid floor pump, but not keen on the price tag?

We tested a few options and this was our second favourite* cost-effective floor pump. It's a pretty nifty wee unit with the following features:

• 160 psi maximum gauge
• Presta valve only or add a dual head (presta + schrader) with a pressure release button
• Steel barrel
• Composite base

Before we tested it, our primary concern was about the composite base. We needn't have been too concerned though, it's pretty darn robust and will survive a lot of abuse.

If you're keen to inflate tubeless tyres with it, it might be worth considering a tubeless inflator too. Note that you will need the dual head valve for this.

• We got our second favourite because our favourite one, with a steel base, had a minimum order quantity of 300 units 😂

Dual head valves

While it's not strictly necessary, we recommend getting the dual head valve so that you can pump any bike tyres up instead of just presta valves. 

Also, if you're buying a tyre inflator, you'll need to get the schrader head with this pump for it. 

What's the difference between the basic and premium head?

1. It has a pressure release button which makes it easier to get the pressure you want if you overshoot it with your exuberant pumping
2. The lever is metal
