Cannondale Airport Plus Track Pump


SO GOOD…
The Airport Plus’s footprint is large, giving a solid, stable base for pumping. The handle may be one of the narrowest here but its teardrop shape fits comfortably into your palms.

NO GOOD…
Swapping between Presta and Schrader valves means fiddling with rubber grommets. It’s not difficult, but ‘smart’ heads are more convenient. Airflow isn’t as good as some despite a stiff stroke, and the hose is one of the shortest on test. The numbers on the gauge – which goes up to 160psi – are small and closely packed. It’s not the cheapest pump on test but the finish and feel aren’t as good as the rest.

25 strokes to 30psi

PRICE: 60$

COMMENCAL EL CAMINO 3

Commencal are going from strength to strength at the moment and they’ve taken their tough trail hardtail bang up to date with 650b wheels. With its skinny rims, crankset and fork, the El Camino certainly isn’t perfect and it’s the least hardcore bike here. The handling, smoothness, speed and all-round agility of the basic bike still make it a real blast for technical trail riding though, and it’s a great base for upgrading over time.
