Syncros HV1.0 Mini Pump


SO GOOD…
The Syncros is one of the smaller pumps on test at 225mm long and it’s constructed from aluminium, which looks good and improves durability. The pump head has two exits, one for each valve type, which means no trailside fiddling if your riding buddy has different valves. Handily, the pump head retracts and clips into place to keep it out of the way.

NO GOOD…
The HV1.0 performed poorly, even taking its small size into account, during our 100-stroke test, only inflating the tyre to 5.7psi – so low we repeated it three times, with identical results.

PRICE: 39$
