![]() That flexible hose makes the Race Rocket MT much easier to pump vigorously without fear of damaging the valve stem than pumps without a rubber hose. Its best feature is a long rubber hose that lives inside the pump when not in use and works with both Schrader and Presta valves. It’s even powerful enough to get fat tires back up to pressure after a blowout, even if it does take more pumping that a larger dual-action pump like the Topeak Mountain DA G Mini. It’s small enough (7.3 inches) that it didn’t dominate our bike when using the bottle-cage clip, and it can also fit securely in a jersey pocket. This pump is a great tool for riders who typically rely on CO2 cartridges but also like to have manual insurance. Not dual action, so takes a little longer to fill a high volume mtb tire.Though it may seem minor, it’s incredibly useful when you’re trying to hit 17 psi and you accidentally overfill. We wished for only one thing: a release valve to let out the pressure. But testing confirmed that this pump’s gauge is accurate at all points, and we consistently reach for the Air Tool when filling mountain bike tires. The plastic handle and loose-fitting plunger give the feel of a discount product. And move a lot of air it does-it took us only 20 strokes to fill a 29 x 2.6-inch tire to 20 psi. Like those pumps, the Air Tool MTB also has a metal barrel, although it’s much larger in diameter to move a higher volume of air with each stroke. The stable metal base is the same as the Air Tool and Air Tool Comp V2. Of all the pumps on this list, this one has the gauge that’s the easiest to use for setting a precise tire pressure. The three-inch gauge goes up to only 40 psi, with big, easy-to-read markings in one-pound increments. This high-volume pump is, as the name suggests, made specifically for filling mountain bike tires. ![]()
