Cannondale Airspeed Max Mini Pump


SO GOOD…
At just under 300mm in length, the Airspeed will easily fit in most hydration packs. The fold-out foot peg and T-shaped handle help steady the pump and give it a solid footing for pumping. The pump head simply screws on to Schrader valves on one side and Presta on the other, and is easy to attach to both types. The air volume is high too, with the pump reaching a fairly high 12.8psi in the 100-stroke test.

NO GOOD…
The Airspeed isn’t the smoothest, with a lot of internal friction that meant the 100-stroke test tired out our arms more than any of the other pumps here.

PRICE: 47$
