Under pressure! 15 shock pumps in review

RockShox RockShox 300 psi

This is the classic that probably most of us have at home, rebadged by countless different brands. At € 40 the RockShox 300 psi is the second most affordable standard-sized pump in the test field. However, it is neither overly accurate nor does it offer a superior pumping output. The gauge is not very accurate but it is adequate The pump head is simple to use, but when screwing it on the last few revolutions tend to turn the entire pump with it.

It’s also a bit bulky to carry around in a backpack, though it is very comfortable to pump with. The analogue RockShox pump is basically the Opel Astra in the test field – solid average performance for little money without major compromises.
