Best bike pumps 2026 — from hand to floor pumps, inflate your tyres with ease and precision

The Beto CJA-001S Tubeless Air Tank Inflator provides a workshop-quality, at a very affordable price, making it our best value tubeless inflator. This tubeless air tank has some great features and offers excellent performance when it comes to setting up tubeless tyres.

With regards to the performance, during testing the tank took about 40 pumps of a floor pump to get to 120PSI. During testing 120psi in the tank, it was able to seat a 30mm tubeless road tyre and also with 120psi in the tank, it was able to seat and fill a 2.3in mountain bike tyre to 18PSI without any issues. The capacity of the tank was also more than enough to seat both beads.

All in all, the Beto CJA-001S Tubeless Air Tank Inflato is a top-quality workshop-grade tubeless inflator at a really reasonable price. It’s a real no brainer now that tubeless is taking over.

The Birzman Mini Apogee Hand Pump is a really small and lightweight mini pump, weighing only 79g. It’s ideal for throwing in your back pocket to take out on a road ride.

The lightweight pump is only 136mm long and at 79g will be pretty unnoticeable in your back pocket. However, don’t let that fool you into thinking it won’t do a good job of inflating your tyres. During testing, inflating a 23mm 700C tyre took 200 pumps to get to 63psi, which is more than enough to get you home on post puncture repair, especially if you are on a gravel bike. 

Overall, the Birzman Mini Apogee Hand Pump is a really brilliant lightweight option that is really easy to fit in your back pocket, and very capable in terms of getting your tyre up to a decent pressure to get you home.

The Cannondale Precise Floor Pump is our favourite floor pump, and best pump overall at the time of writing. It’s a quality piece of kit if you want a pump that is well built, efficient and features a big gauge that’s really easy to read. It was also selected to feature in road.cc recommends, as we feel that it’s a real stand out item.

With regards to performance, the large gauge is marked with a range of different riding types which is useful to suggest the correct pressure for your tyres if you aren’t too sure, making it a great choice regardless of the style of riding you’ll be doing. It also tops out at 145psi which is pretty impressive: there’s not many situations where you’ll need more than 145psi! The pump itself is also very efficient, taking just 21 pumps to get a set of 25mm tyres to 90psi during testing. There is also a bleed button to allow pressure out if you go slightly over which is super useful. 

All in all, the Cannondale Precise Floor Pump is a really excellent overall track pump: it effortlessly gets tyres up to pressure, and the large, easy-to-read gauge makes reading the pressure or knowing what’s suitable for your tyres straightforward. Therefore it’s a solid option for anyone looking to invest in a super reliable floor pump.

If you were looking for a seriously high quality mini pump that is also the best mini pump for versatility then look no further. The Lezyne CNC Tubeless Drive mini pump carried a lot of repair power in a small package, ideal for taking out in your pocket on off-road rides.

This pump is a really solid versatile tool. The hand pump can get up to 30psi in your tyres, which is enough for when out on the trails and need a quick fix or extra pressure. It also features a tubeless repair kit and tubeless inflator that are both easy to set up and use. Additionally, the featured CO2 inflator is a simple push-on type, so once you have it on the valve, you’re good to go. 

All in all, the Lezyne CNC Tubeless Drive mini pump offers impressively efficient and versatility. Boasting three useful features: tubeless repair kit, CO2 inflator and a mini pump, it’s a really solid option that has you covered.

Lezyne’s Control Drive CO2 Inflator is the best overall CO2 inflator in our guide. It’s nice and simple, it’s also supplied with a 16g canister and is well designed. Compatibility wise, both presta and schrader valves work with this inflator, therefore it’s suitable for any tyre.

The Control Drive is as simple as they come, and works very effectively. The easy flow adjustment makes it really user-friendly, so even if you are new to using CO2 inflators, you won’t have any issues. You simply push the Control Drive onto the valve, and turn the inflator head to release air. With the 16g canister provided you will be able to inflate your tyres up to around 100psi, which is more than enough for any tyres, regardless of the bike.

Overall the Lezyne’s Control Drive CO2 Inflator is a really brilliant overall inflator. It also usefully features a jacket to protect your hands once you’ve released the gas as the freezing to the canister then freezes which is another good feature.

If you’re in the market for a travel-friendly floor pump, then the Lezyne Micro Floor Drive Digital HPG pump is our choice as the best luggage friendly floor pump for travelling. At only 224g it won’t add too much to your weight allowance either, not to mention it could easily fit in your bike box or case. 

This pump really comes into its own where shifting lots of air quickly is concerned, doing so much easier and quicker than a mini pump that is designed to be thrown into your back pocket. The digital gauge also provides pressure readings that are clear and easy to read and the units can be switched between psi and bar.

Overall the Lezyne Micro Floor Drive Digital HPG is a must have for those frequent flyers who travel with their bike and need a travel friendly pump. It’s very well made and highly effective, shifting air fast. Although it is a little on the pricey side for its size, the job it does for such a small pump is really impressive.

Although the Lezyne Road Drive Alloy mini pump (in size L) is 297mm long and the largest size in the Lezyne Road Drive Alloy range, this is still a ‘mini pump’. Due to its longer length however, it’s very efficient, thus finding itself as our best mini pump for efficiency. 

This pump also comes with its own bracket to allow you to attach it to your bike underneath your bottle cage, which is super useful in terms of transporting around as it is larger than most mini pumps. Performance wise, this is an efficient mini pump, taking around 100 pumps to put about 30psi in your tyres. 

Overall the Lezyne Road Drive Alloy mini pump is a really brilliant high quality pump that delivers on efficiency. It’s also easy to use and easy to transport thanks to the bracket that comes with it. Overall, a great mini pump to take out on rides.

The Lezyne Sport Gravel Drive Track Pump is a great option for anyone looking for a pump that works really well for both off-road tyres but also is suitable for road tyres with a pressure range of 10 up to 100 psi. While some of you might wonder what makes a pump gravel-specific, or anything specific for just gravel riding… well of course it can be used for road or mountain bikes, however this is a pump that truly excels with wider gravel tyres, hence the name!

This pump has been designed to work best on 32mm and wider tyres and in comparison to Lezyne’s CNC and Classic Floor Drive pumps. The barrel on the Sport Gravel Drive is larger, helping to move more air at a time. With regards to the pumping power, this one is excellent for large-volume tyres as it requires a lot less effort to get the tyres pumped up, which is why it’s so good for gravel tyres. 

Overall, the Lezyne Sport Gravel Drive Track Pump is a brilliant high-volume off-road tyre pump and a high-pressure road tyre pump because not only can it deliver large volumes of air in one go, but road tyres don’t really need much more than 90psi, so this pump, although gravel specific, should suit anyone’s needs.

“Inflate your tyres quickly and get back to riding in no time!” claims Muc-Off on the product description for its colourful CO2 inflator, and we’d have to agree. Our reviewer says the chuck works really well and doesn’t release any gas while attaching, and the neoprene sleeve stops ay unwanted freeze-burning of your fingers.

The 16g canister are enough to fill road tyres, but you can also get the 25g version for gravel or mountain bike tyres. Our reviewer was able to get to 65psi with a 28mm tyre and 90psi with a 25mm tyre, enough to get most road riders home and then some. 

This isn’t the cheapest CO2 kit, but you get what you pay for and this one is better quality than many cheaper options.

Silca makes super-high-quality tools and accessories, with the associated high prices. The Superpista Digital Floor Pump is the most expensive track pump we’ve ever tested (and one of the most expensive bike pumps ever made), but it is extremely nice to use, with a solid build quality. Handcrafted with an aluminium barrel, steel piston shaft, large aluminium base and an ash wood handle, it also looks nice if the aethetics of your pump matter to you.

Atop the barrel is a digital pressure gauge, and the long rubber hose is capped with the company’s HIRO chuck, an all-metal design with a large lever and compatibility with all valves. All in all, this is a highly accurate pump and it offers a few neat tricks up its barrel… but as it costs as much as some bikes, it better be!

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. 

The SKS Airchecker is a well-made digital gauge for tyre pressures that’s quick to use, only taking a few seconds to read. Although you do have the knack of ensuring the gauge is correctly seated on the valve, once that’s mastered it’s undoubtedly straightforward to use. Letting air out is also simple thanks to the little orange ‘deflate’ button on the valve head.

Overall, the SKS Airchecker is well priced but also quick and easy to use, making pressure checks simple and fuss-free. The compact size of this gauge also means that it is a great item to pop into your bar bag or jacket pocket during rides for when you need to check your tyre pressures.

Topeak’s Joe Blow Booster is an easy to use, all-in-one solution for anyone that wants a floor pump that will allow you to seat tricky tubeless tyres as well as inflate tyres, instead of investing in two different pumps for the separate usage. Therefore landing it as the best multi use floor pump.

Using a high-pressure reservoir, this pump from Topeak provides enough of a blast of air to get even the most stubborn rubber seated on your rim. Although it is expensive, it’s without a doubt the best all-in-one unit we’ve tested by some way. Not only that but as previously stated it’s also great for normal pump usage too.

Overall, the Topeak Joe Blow Booster is a well made dual purpose pump that is built to last, making the price worth it in the long run. It’s also simple to use and inflates efficiently, seating tubeless tyres with total ease, thus making it a solid option for pretty much anyone.

The Topeak Joe Blow Sport III is a very popular floor pump that many mechanics, professional or otherwise, opt for, and for good reason too. Not only is this pump well priced but it’s also very well made and compatible for both presta and schrader valves, making it our best value for money floor pump at under £50 RRP. It’s seriously tough to beat.

Performance wise, this pump is really impressive for the money. Maxing out at just under 160 which took 49 strokes during testing on a set of road tyres, no wrestling was needed to achieve this: it simply reached a point in the downstroke and that was it. This pump also features an easy-to-read pressure gauge that is situated half way up the barrel, which gives you both psi and bar, which is useful.

Overall, the Topeak Joe Blow Sport III is a very well-made and easy to use pump that does the job very well and for a really brilliant price. The gauge is also easy to read and parts can also be bought from Topeak to keep your pump serviceable and running. Therefore, it’s a bit of a bargain.

The Topeak JoeBlow Tubi 2Stage floor pump features the new TubiHead valve coupler which is very useful for anyone using tubeless tyres. Not only that but the two-stage chambers also help to make inflating tyres a fast and fuss-free process, but this comes at a cost, setting you back £109.99 RRP, making it our best high-end floor pump.

Although it is expensive, the performance is impressive. Thanks to the twin barrel feature, you can easily change between high-volume and low-pressure and then by flicking the switch, low-volume and high-pressure. Making it perfect for both pumping up your tyres and setting up tubeless. Not only that but the TubiHead valve coupler allows you to reinstall the core and still keep pressure in the tyre, and it works very effectively. 

Overall, the Topeak JoeBlow Tubi 2Stage floor pump is a really great pump if you want a high quality pump but will also be setting up tubeless tyres as well as working with a range of different tyres (an adapter for schrader valves comes with the pump). In short, this floor pump is great for both high pressures and high volumes.

The Topeak Pocket Rocket mini pump is a very popular compact pump, it’s well priced, lightweight at only 109g and does the job well despite being very small, hence the name.

As mentioned, although it is small in size, this mini pump works impressively well. During our testing, it only took 150 pumps to get a 28mm road tyre to 70psi, which is really rather good considering the size. Therefore this pump is more than capable of getting your tyres up to a good pressure to help get you on your way.

All in all, the Topeak Pocket Rocket is a great value for money, lightweight pump that is also well made. It’s also really easy to use and more than capable of putting a decent amount of pressure in your tyres to get you home, a real no brainer.

The Topeak RaceRocket HP mini pump is a really great option if you were looking for a pump that easily stashes away in your rear jersey pocket while you are out riding. At only 18cm long, it’s our best compact mini pump thanks to its useful proportions. 

Not only that, but the performance of this pump is also very impressive given the compact size. During testing the RaceRocket HP effectively inflated a 25mm road tyre to around 100psi in around 300 strokes, which is thanks to its chamber capacity as well as the tactile design. All of which is not bad at all for such a small pump which attaches to your bike with a bracket that fits under your bottle cages. 

Overall, the Topeak RaceRocket HP mini pump is of good build quality, is compact so fits into your jersey without any trouble and offers an impressive capacity for its size. As well as that, it also includes a valve core tool in its handle, so all in all, a great choice.

The Topeak Road Master Blaster is a well-thought-out frame bike pump that usefully attaches to the top tube of your bike, making it our best frame bike pump. Opting for a pump like this is a great way to neatly transport your pump around while out and about. There’s also 4 sizes available ensuring you find one to fit your bike.

Performance wise, this aluminium-barrelled, plastic-ended frame pump can easily get your tyres back up to 100psi without any issues, taking around 100 pumps. Meaning, it’s a really great pump for long rides on your road bike when you’ll need a little more pressure than a gravel tyre would need.

Overall the Topeak Road Master Blaster frame pump is a really brilliant road riding companion. The job it can do easily beats that of a mini pump as higher pressures are much easier to achieve.

The Topeak SmartGauge D2X is a slightly upgraded version of the Topeak SmartGauge D2, which we also highly rated. This best overall pressure gauge is light and offers accurate readings of your tyre pressures. This device is good for both home or while out riding as it’s small enough to pop in your pocket or bag.

This gauge allows you to effortlessly switch between presta and schrader valves in seconds, allowing you to easily measure your tyre pressure no matter what bike it’s on, be it mountain bike or a road bike. The accuracy is great and the display lights up brightly which makes it easy to read. It also includes an air release button, which coupled with this device’s accuracy, is useful in letting you know how much pressure you’ve let out in real time, ensuring you don’t let too much out at once.

All in all, this gauge may be a little on the pricey side but it’s accuracy and compact nature make it a great overall gauge if you were looking for one to use either at home or while out on your bike.

The Topeak Tubibooster X tubeless inflator is our best overall inflator for tubeless tyres on our guide. It’s really well made and equally as well thought out, offering powerful and reliable inflation to ensure your tyres get seated on your rim.

This inflator has a high-pressure aluminium body that is charged using a separate floor pump, therefore it’s a great addition if you have a floor pump already. Performance wise, this aluminium body can be charged up to 200psi, which during testing we found was more than enough to seat some high-volume tyres onto the rim, therefore you shouldn’t have any trouble at all using this inflator. 

All in all, the Topeak Tubibooster X tubeless inflator is a really solid overall option if you already have a floor pump but were looking for a reliable inflator of quality construction that can get the job done. This one will undoubtedly sort you out.

If you were looking for the best budget CO2 inflator then the Vel CO2 Flow Regulator Head With 16g Cartridge will be right up your street. First off, this package includes not one, but two CO2 canisters, making it a really decent deal. Plus, you never know when that second will come in handy.

This CO2 inflator is made from robust aluminium construction, it’s also simple to use and the connection between the inflator and valve is impressively good, ensuring the job is done in a matter of seconds. Also, the inflator overall works well without any fuss, it didn’t even unscrew the valve core during testing which of course is good news.

Overall, if you want the best budget CO2 inflator then the Vel CO2 Flow Regulator Head With 16g Cartridge is a great, no-fuss, affordable choice. Using just the one canister will easily get you up to around 80-90psi, therefore be it road or off road you wanted to use this inflator for, it’s got you covered.
