If you're buying a floor pump now, we recommend the high-volume type.
With wider tires and tubeless tires becoming standard on more bicycles, the appropriate tire pressure is changing significantly compared to a few years ago.
By getting a floor pump that matches your current bike, you can inflate your tires "faster and easier."
So, the keyword for the floor pumps we're introducing this time is "high volume."
Floor pumps are broadly divided into two types: "high pressure" and "high volume."
"High pressure" pumps are recommended for road bikes with tubed tires that require high air pressure.
For example, a 700x23c (tubed) tire requires about 8 bar of air pressure, and using this type of pump makes inflation easy.
However, recent bicycle tire setups are shifting to tubeless specifications, and there's an increasing number of bikes with wider tires like gravel bikes and MTBs, which require "low pressure."
That's where "high volume" floor pumps come in.
With a slightly wider body, they can quickly inject a large amount of air, making inflation easy for road bikes, gravel bikes, and MTBs alike.
A floor pump is an item you'll "use most often" and "use for the longest time" when enjoying cycling, so please choose one that's perfect for you!
This time, we're introducing four "high-volume floor pumps."
Each pump can inflate tires up to approximately 100 psi / 7 bar in one go, and easily!
First up, the most cost-effective option among those introduced today is the MACRO HV FLOOR DRIVE.
The body is made of steel, so it has some weight (1334g), but its high durability makes it recommended for long-term use.
The chuck that connects to the valve uses a simple ABS Flip Chuck, compatible with both Presta and Schrader valves.
The handle and base (foot rest) are made of Composite Matrix (a sturdy plastic-based material).
The gauge is an extra-large 3.5 inches, offering excellent visibility from above!
Second is the mid-grade STEEL HV FLOOR DRIVE 3.5.
It comes in two colors, black and gray, so you can choose your preference.
The chuck uses ABS-1 Pro and is compatible with both Presta and Schrader valves.
This chuck has an L-shape that makes it less likely to interfere with spokes, making it ideal for bikes with smaller wheel sizes like folding bikes or mini velos.
The wooden handle gives it an organic feel, making it a good interior accent for your entryway at home.
The base (foot rest) is made of aluminum, providing a robust construction.
This pump also features an extra-large 3.5-inch gauge for easy reading.

Third is the ALLOY HV DIGITAL DRIVE 3.5.
It comes in two colors: black and silver.
The chuck is the ABS-1 Pro Tubeless, which is "Presta specific," but it comes with a tool to remove the valve core on the back.
The wooden handle is varnished, adding to its luxurious feel.
The hose is nylon-reinforced for increased durability, making it recommended for heavy users.
The digital gauge allows for precise air pressure measurements.

Fourth is the super premium floor pump 18K DIGITAL DRIVE 3.5 PRO HEAD.
This is a premium model upgraded from the ALLOY HV DIGITAL DRIVE 3.5 introduced earlier.
The chuck, Presta Pro Head, is fully CNC machined, allowing it to be securely fixed to the valve simply by lifting the lever.
The included pin allows for fine adjustment of tire pressure.
And the body is finished with 18K plating, giving it a luxurious feel.

All four floor pumps introduced here are "high volume" types.
They allow you to inflate tires with fewer pumps, making replenishment easy and effortless.
Please consider upgrading your floor pump to match your current bike!
