Lezyne hand pump; Pocket Drive

Description

Hand pump vs. electrical pump!

The Lezyne hand pump Pocket Drive is very compact, lightweight and are much easier to store on enduro bikes with virtually no storage capacity than an electrical pump. These are all features you are looking for on smaller capacity enduro, dual sport and off road bikes. The rims on these bikes usually have smaller tires and the internal design of the rim does not have a safety bead. This makes a tube repair/change, reinflation and properly seating the bead relatively easy compared to the large adventure bikes.

Lezyne Pump design

The Lezyne hand pump Pocket Drive is an amazingly compact and lightweight hand pump featuring plenty of pumping efficiency. It is constructed from durable CNC machined aluminum and has a handle that’s lightly knurled for slip resistant operation. With its overlapping handle and integrated ABS Flex Hose, the Pocket Drive offers performance unmatched for its size. The pump is Presta and Schrader valve compatible, and it’s completely rebuildable for continued use at a high level.

For big adventure bikes with larger tires it is probably better to go for an electrical pump. It a personal choice though and if you like a solid workout, it is entirely feasible to inflate the tire of for instance an Africa Twin CRF1000 with these handpumps.
