The Mountain Air has it in spades, with a high-volume aluminum barrel and sleek shape. The ergonomic head and handle melt into the contours of your hand to increase grip and leverage when in use.

Strengths:
it looks ok
Weaknesses:
rubbish at pumping up tyres!
Similar Products Used:
many pumps at many price points
Bike Setup:
Cove Stiffee
Bottom Line:
The worst pump i have ever used! if you push it on the valve to hard it dumps all the air if you dont push it on hard enough it just blows the air around the valve...if you manage to get it "just right" its about as good as any other...personally sticking to my cheap plastic decathlon pumpt that "just works" as opposed to this fiddly night mare.
