Silca

SuperPista Ultimate Pump

A pump is a pump is a pump, unless it's the Silca SuperPista Ultimate Pump, in which case it's as much a work of art as a tire inflator. Designed to make pumping up before a ride an exercise in aesthetic and functional perfection, the SuperPista has a hand-turned rosewood handle inspired by top-of-the-line Japanese knife makers, and a stainless steel barrel and hardware that are machined to NASA-level tolerances for unbeatable performance. The included Schrader and Presta chucks sit in a magnetic dock strong enough to keep the handle locked down when you lift the SuperPista, but are easily removed with a firm tug so you don't have to bend down to release the hose. Instead of a traditional +/-5% industrial gauge, Silca opted for a laboratory-quality +/-1% gauge that reads all the way to 160psi. Pumping with cleats on can be a pain, so the SuperPista's extra-large base is optimized for standing on with any type of shoe and weighs more by itself than most standard floor pumps, providing a reassuring feel and unbeatable stability. Even the hose was originally designed for race car and aircraft brake lines, so it is capable of withstanding up to 12,000psi, just in case.
