Lezyne Digital Pressure Drive mini pump


This little alloy pump has a detachable hose, which screws neatly into the handle when not in use. A bleed valve on the hose makes it easy to unscrew the pump from the valve without removing the valve core or twisting the valve stem in the rim – a great feature, which saves faff on the trail. Its real selling point, though, is the in-built digital pressure gauge. Although we did get the odd high or low reading, for the most part we found it to be very accurate, which meant we didn’t need to carry a separate digital gauge.

This is the all-rounder version of the pump, capable of inflating tyres to a whopping 120psi – useful if you have a commuter or road bike too, but the higher-volume Digital Alloy Drive ($105) will get mountain bike tyres up quicker. With the Digital Pressure Drive, it took us 120 strokes to inflate a (tubed) 29x2.4in tyre to 29psi. Our only real gripe is the 174g weight – we wish it were a touch lighter.

Price $105
