Lezyne Control Drive CO2 inflator


With a minimalist CNC’ed aluminium head, the Control Drive feels high quality. Despite its small size, attention to detail is high too. A rubber seal engages with the cartridge threads as soon as you begin loading the inflator, which means little gas is lost before the valve is opened. The head slips easily over both Schrader and Presta valves, and the control knob is knurled for grip and simple to operate.

The price is a little high considering that the inflator only comes with a single cartridge.

Price $37 w/16g cartridge
