The best bike pumps: From deluxe track pumps with tubeless blasters to the tiniest mini pumps, browse our picks of the best inflators for your bike... cycling
If you have a track pump but you want to be absolutely sure of your tyre pressures with improved precision in comparison to what your pump gauge suggests, but don’t want to be splashing out on a more expensive pressure gauge, then the SKS Airchecker is a brilliant well-made option. Not only that, but it won’t break the bank either, landing itself as our best affordable gauge.
If you were needing a pump for a specific use, such as setting up tubeless tyres, then you need a pump that can store the pressure to release a larger volume of air in one go to ensure your tyre is seated on the rim. Similarly, if you wanted a portable pump to take on rides, a floor pump won’t be suitable, therefore a mini pump would be more suited to your needs.Luckily this is pretty straightforward! First off, a high pressure bike pump is simply one that can reach higher pressures.
If your tyres are set up tubeless, or you're planning to, then you'll most likely want to choose from one of our track/floor pump options that have a special feature to store pressure and release a large volume of air in one go. This applies more force to the tyre, pushing the bead into place and sealing the tyre against the rim, otherwise known as seating, therefore allowing it to be tubeless.
All track pumps have some sort of chuck to attach to the valve, but there are many different designs. Some use a universal mechanism that will fit Presta and Schrader valves, while others have a separate attachment for each type. Almost all have a lever to clamp the chuck round the valve. The length of a frame pump means it's a fairly quick way to inflate a tyre out on the road, and it doesn't cost you the price of a carbon dioxide cartridge every time. Some riders feel a frame pump spoils the look of their bikes, though.
