Birzman Zacoo Maha MTB Track Pump


SO GOOD…  
The Birzman’s high-volume shaft gets tyres up to pressure quickly and the metal construction gives an indestructible feel. The wooden handle is comfortable, the extended legs give a secure footing and the shaft is angled towards you, supposedly improving ergonomics. The SNAP-IT head is simple to use on Presta valves and the gauge, which goes to 120psi, is easy to read.

NO GOOD…  
The hose could be a little longer. If you’re using Schrader valves, you’ll have to take care not to lose the SNAP-IT head, as you’ll need it for Presta valves. We also found the head wasn’t as secure as some other designs under higher pressures.

18 strokes to 30psi

PRICE: 91$

Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS

The fat aluminium tubes are a constrast to the skinny items seen elsewhere in the test, but this rigid Cannondale uses them to create one of the most old-school - and lightest - rides here.
