Product Description:
|
|
|
The Lezyne Pressure Drive Pump has all the functionality of Lezyne's Carbon Pressure Drive, just fabricated out of CNC-machined aluminum. You get a nice price break for a minimal weight penalty. The Small pump is 170mm long, while the Medium is 216mm long.Pressure Drive pumps are High Pressure units, HP for short, designed to pump up road tires. What separates Pressure Drive pumps from Road Drive pumps are the barrel diameters. 20mm vs. 17mm. You can push more air with a larger diameter barrel and thus pump a tire up faster, but it will take more arm strength to do so.One of the great features of Lezyne mini-pumps is that they all come with flexible thread-on hoses rather than a fixed pump head. This is a huge benefit for a few reasons. One is security: thread it on to a Presta or Schrader valve and it won't come off. Another is ergonomics; you aren't limited by holding the pump at a perfect right angle to the valve. A third is that this Flex Hose is ABS-equippedAAA it has a bleeder valve on it. The Lezyne Pressure Drive Pump comes in two lengths: Small and Medium. Maximum pressure that one can attain with this pump is 120psi. There's even an accessory Pen gauge hose that screws into Medium pumps. The pump comes in High-Polish Black.

 Great Mini Pump, April 3, 2009
By badcyclist (San Diego, CA)
|
|
There are two models of the alloy pressure drive pump, 6" and 9". Both are small and incredibly portable. The smaller model, which I have, can fit into a medium-sized seatbag.
There is also a carbon variation (expensive) and a "regular" alloy mini pump for mountain bikes, plus larger frame-sized models for riders who want a bigger pump. There is also a mini floor pump. The large number of variations is kind of confusing, so if you are a roadie, be sure to get one of the "pressure drive" models, whether mini or frame-sized.
It has a clever hose assembly, so you don't put pressure on the valve stem as you pump up the tube. It will take longer and more pumping to get your tire up to pressure than larger pumps, but it can pump a road tire up to pressure in about 200 strokes. You can easily get past 100lbs, and with a bit more effort can get to 120lbs. This pump is so small, effective, and convenient to carry that I think it is worth the tradeoff.
This ranks up there with the other best, small bicycle pump, the Topeak Road Morph. The Road Morph is a more efficient pump, but it is also substantially bigger and requires me either to wear a backpack or use a frame attachment to carry it, whereas the Lezyne fits easily into my seatbag. I have both and highly recommend both, but at this point I carry the Lezyne.

Lezyne Pressure Drive, May 19, 2009
By Salvatore Taibi
|
|
Great product. I messed with CO2 for years, but now I'm wondering why! With CO2 you really need to carry 2 cartridges to be safe, and when you figure their weight plus the weight of the nozzle, with the Lezyne Pressure Drive I just saved about 50 grams. On top of that, there's no limit to how many flats I can fix... great for group rides. The pump works great, and no real problem getting tires up to pressure. FWIW, I do run lower pressures (which everyone should try) of around 100psi. The other real advantage of the Lezyne is the flexible hose... no more worrying about snapping valves. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Lightweight, small pump that looks great and works., September 8, 2009
By Wayne Bengston (Cordelia, CA)
|

I feel that this is the perfect alternative to CO2 inflators, taking up no space in your bags, weighing little, and looking nice as well.
The pump mounts to a bottle mount and can be mounted under a bottle rack. I installed it in about 2 minutes.

A quality product makes the difference, March 7, 2011
By M. Evan Gaffney (Gettysburg, PA)
|
|
Here's the thing: All of these mini hand pumps basically look the same and do the same job, so you may be asking yourself "why spend the extra coin on this one?" The answer is quality. Let's look at three of the features this pump has that are missing from other, cheaper pumps I've owned.
-Construction: If you look at a cheaper pump, a lot of the components are plastic. The Lezyne pump is made of METAL. Everything on the pump that matters looks and feels sturdy. This means you won't break it when you're vigorously trying to pump in 120psi on the side of the road.
-The Hose: The cheaper pumps all attach directly to the valve stem. This means that when you push on the handle, you are also pushing on the stem. This can lead to bent stems, broken stems, leaky seals, and uncomfortable pumping angles. The hose means you can really get the job done without worrying about damaging anything.
-The Locking Mechanism: Cheap pumps secure themselves to the valve stem using a locking mechanism that compresses a rubber seal around the stem. These levers can be a pain to operate, and often don't seal properly. The hose on the Lezyne pump screws directly onto the threaded valve. This means two things: It won't come off, and it won't leak. You only have to secure it once, and the only hissing sound you'll hear is the sound of air going INTO THE TIRE. What a novel concept.
I've had a few of the cheaper pumps (Topeaks, etc), and they function okay for the occasional hobbyist right up until they break, which they will. I finally got sick of it and spent the money for a higher end pump (this one) and I know now that I will not regret it.
I bought the small pump, but the larger one (medium size) is only 10 grams heavier, and it will do the job a little faster. In retrospect I probably should have gotten that one. Regardless of which one you get, this pump will get you off the side of the road many times before it ever goes wrong. It is light, well constructed, and reliable. Isn't that all that matters to a cyclist?

Nice pump for a road bike, August 20, 2010
By The Penguin (Santa Clara, CA)
|
|
I did some research to see what people in popular bike forums recommended for bike pump. The price tag is a bit high, but this pump was recommended by so many people that I decided to purchase it. After all, who wants to get stranded with a flat tire. I don't think AAA will come repair bike flats :-)
So I bought this pump and it has been been riding on my bike for almost a year now. I like the way it attaches to the bike. It sits right along the seat down tube and attaches to the frame where the water bottle attaches. It doesn't interfere with pedaling. My frame size is a smallish 54cm and this smaller sized pump is ideal for the smaller frame. The pump and holder have a nicely designed mechanism to secure to the bike. It has rubber end cap inserts that keep the the innards clean. I finally used it out on the road for the first time a couple of months ago. I unscrewed the bendy rubber nozzle end, reverse and screw into the pump. THe nozzle is threaded so you can screw it onto the valve stem and it doesn't fly off while you are filling the tire. Then you just pump for a while, 5 minutes, maybe more depending on how much rest you need. This pump does not have a built in pressure gauge, but I can judge pretty well from squeezing the tire. I'm not super strong and pumped until the tire felt right; I was working pretty hard to get more air into the tire. When I got to work and measured tire pressure it was around 85. I need more practice or a small high pressure tire gauge. As my commute is under 10 miles, this was fine. Overall, this is an excellent pump!

Worth the price, April 20, 2010
By S. Ritchie (CA, USA)
|
|
At first I was irritated I had to end up paying $39 for a bicycle pump with a tube attachment.
But after using this pump, I stopped complaining to myself about the price. I purchased the medium size, 120 psi 9" model, and it's super light. Fits easily into my backpack. My offroad tires run about 80 psi, and it gets them from flat to road ready in under one minute. I was amazed, I had no idea this pump worked so fast.
I'm highly impressed. The Lezyne pump is also all metal, so you don't have to worry about plastic parts snapping if you drop it. My only warning, make sure you secure the separate tube attachment securely, otherwise it will fall out of the handle. It screws in, and will never fall out unless you forget to thread it in, like I did once. Whoops. A clever storage design, the tube fits into the handle, making this product extremely small, efficient, and portable. That caution aside, it's an absolutely great product.
Ask yourself if you would rather spend 15-20 bucks every couple months on cheap pumps that end up breaking or snapping off your inner tube stems, or just pay 39 bucks and be done with it. This pump gets the job done. It has no frills, and no gimmicks. It does lack a pressure gauge, but it is also extremely portable, durable, and fast. No complaints.

Innovative Design, October 28, 2009
By beecnul8r (Murrieta, CA United States)
|
|
I have used many makes of portable bicycle pumps over the years, but this design is truly innovative. First, the hose is actually hidden inside the pump handle. There are two ends - one for Schrader and one for Presta valves. Once you remove the hose, you chose the correct end and screw it onto the valve. No lever attachment to mess up a Presta valve! Then screw the other hose end into the pump and start pumping. The body of the pump is very light weight and very strong, being CNC'd. Attachment is simple. It goes under your water cage. However, it is so small (9 inches long) and light weight that it can easily fit in a fanny pack and certainly fit in a pannier bag. There are dust caps at each end that are connected to the pump body and are therefore hard to lose or misplace. One wonders why no one else thought of this pump design before. Cudos to Lezyne for really thinking about something as mundane as a bicycle pump.

 Description is not totally accurate, June 26, 2010
By Ted (Phoenix, AZ)
|
|
The description indicates (very vaguely) that this is the medium pump, but I received the small pump. I am positive I selected the correct options when ordering, and ordered the medium pump. Nowhere did it say "small" in my order, until the email confirmation and packing list came. I ordered the 103g, but received the 90g pump. I just returned it and reordered, again making sure I selected medium. Of course, now the price has already gone up by four bucks (on both models). Terrific.
Other than the crummy description (and bait and switch), the pump itself is pretty darn good. Light and efficient. It was sent in bulk packaging (in a plastic bag) which is not a big deal, but one of the frame mount nuts had come loose and was rattling around in the shipping box. I realized it was missing and had to go hunting for it. I would recommend this pump, but be wary of the description.

Make sure you select the size and color you want, or you may not get what you are expecting.

The Others Failed, September 4, 2010
By zandoval (Bastrop, TX United States)
|
|
Spent a bit of money over the past year looking for a small pump that did the job - Tried Pyramid (heavy but worth the price), Zefal (to big but an industry standard), Crank Bro's (to hard to manipulate) and all loosing that preacious air that you worked so hard to build up when removing them...
This is the one - The small metal one with the tube that screws on a Presta or Shrader valve and does not loose all your air when you are removing it - Thats the point here...
With this small pump you don't loose your pressure when your taking it off... SOLD!

Fine, but not ideal, May 15, 2012
By CPTJOHNC
|
|
I bought this pump to complement my weekend road bike. I'm not a fan of CO2 because you are limited by the number of cartridges you are carrying, not to mention the expense. On the other hand, I would be hardpressed to get a tire all the way to 100PSI or higher with this pump.
The good: It is small, light and nicely self contained. The mounting bracket was easy to fit and seems secure, with a velcro strap holding the pump in place. The pump has an internal flexible hose, so very little risk of tearing off your valve stem. It looks really good.
The not so good: It is so small it is hard to get enough grip to pump hard. It does not have a gauge, so no way to know where you are other than feel. The hose is kind of short, so the angle for pumping can be pretty awkward. I don't think I was able to get much beyond 50-60 PSI -- enough for an emergency to get you to the next air on a nice MUP, but not so cool out in the country, by yourself, on an unsupported century. under those circumstances, I'd probably carry this AND CO2, which begs the question why not just carry my bigger frame pump (a Topeak Road Morph G Bike Pump with Gauge -- also reviewed here on Amazon)?

Pumps compared, April 18, 2012
By Tony
|

Tried this "pressure drive" pump, as well as the lezyne alloy drive HV (both in the longer 214mmm versions, and the topeak mini morph, on the same 26 x 1.95 tire, with both presta and schrader. May put a short comment under those pumps also. Both lezyne pumps are a pleasure to hold and seem to be of good quality manufacture. A cut above. My preference for this size tire (and maybe up to a 2.2) is this pressure drive. Both lezyne's are 8.5" long with this pressure model having a tube .845" and the alloy drive is 1.05". Weights 4 and 5 oz respectively. Stroke on both is the same length at 6.75". So, pumping until it got real hard (and then a few more) It took 300 strokes and 4 minutes to go from 0 to 52 psi on this PD model, whereas with the alloy drive HV I maxed at only 35 psi and 131 strokes in 1 1/2 minutes. Plus this PD model could be used with a road tire, but not the HV. With this Pd model you don't even notice the first couple hundred pumps, so it's just a matter of an extra 2.5 minutes, less overall effort and higher pressure. The HV model would only shine imo if you are getting into endomorph type tires, but heh, if you have a lezyne and a 2.2", please report with specifics. The hose is undoubtedly a help, but since it is so short, the valve still rocks. Tested with both valves and there is no difference in time or effort whether you use a presta or schrader. Prestas are only easier at much higher pressures (as on road tires) because when you pull back on either pump the valve closes but with schrader you have to overcome a spring (the resistance of which is effected by psi in tube) to open it again. Topeak makes similiar pump to this lezyne but .75" shorter and no ABS system on hose, which is also a nice feature. Regarding the Mini morph, ( 6 oz, .925 tube, 5.5" stroke ) you can get to even higher psi. Did 60 psi in 320 strokes, 3 3/4 minutes, and is very easy on shoulder, arms, but the posture is very cramped and I found it stressfull on lower back and maybe for that reason, just overall more tiring. Because of your position at top of a lever the pump rocks more and this is irritating and takes more energy. But I'm an old fart, so yemd. If one had a shoulder/arm injury, then yeh, the mini morph. Is easier on valve then the lezyne. Quality okay but not quite as nice. It sucks that neither lezyne or any other manufacturer will make this kind of comparison for you, or even a bike shop. Won't even publish tube diameters, or if they do they are wrong. Guess they figure such obliqueness furthers sales. I think they're wrong. Had so much trouble deciding I almost said the hell with it. Have fun riding all!

 It's not red., August 18, 2011
By joshieboi86 (San Francisco, CA USA)
|
|
The functionality of the device works great with road bikes and is easily installed on a water mount for your road bike. My biggest complaint is that the color is not true red. I have some red water cages on my bike and this is definitely on the lighter spectrum. IMO I believe it's a dark hot pink gloss. So unless you want something pink, please choose something else.

Received this pump and immediately put it to use on my Cannondales Krylion Carbon road tires.Reached 110 psi with no issues.It appears to be very well made and has received honors from top cycling publications.I bought the small size to fit my seat bag.I'm not saying I will look forward to my next flat but at least I'll be prepared.Though expensive,you get what you pay for.Thumbs up!

Great Pump for High Pressure!, May 6, 2011
By Bowman

I needed a small compact pump that would pump over 100 psi, and this one fits my needs! It takes some effort to operate at those pressures, but it gets the job done! Also, it seems well-made too. Great pump!

Thumbs up, May 4, 2011
By Steve J. Ahladas (Upstate, NY)
|
|
Have not used this pump 'in the field' yet but it does seem to be a winner. I put 100# in my tire with my floor pump and this pump was still able to add air, pretty impressive for a minipump. I think the silver bullet for this pump is the fact is actually THREADS onto presta valves rather then a friction fit which tends to be leaky and the flexible hose decouples the pumping action from the valve (more leaks!).

Small, Powerful, Super Convienient, March 4, 2011
By ElectricNotGas (Columbia, MO United States)
|

Take away: Yes, I would purchase again.
This review is for the medium version, aka Pressure Drive M (for medium) hand pump. I've bought two of these little pumps for my two bikes, and I'm extremely satisfied. The have a shorter version that shaves about 2 inches off the length, but since I ride a 60cm frame, there's more than enough space to clip in this larger version. Fit and finish is excellent, and the design seems really solid. The pump fits snugly out of the way into a clip on the down tube (or anywhere else) with a velcro strap for security.
In use, I'm able to inflate a 120psi tire to about 90psi in just 20-25 strokes, less than a minute or working the pump--it's tiny, but packs a big wallop. Force needed to inflate the tire is minimal, and if you forget your CO2 inflator your can easily get the whole job done with this device alone.
The most important part is the 8-inch flexible hose (stored cleverly in the body of the pump) that works with both Presta and Schrader valves. It lets you work the pump comfortably, without fear of breaking the valve, as the hose takes the stress of all flexing and jiggling of the pump while in operation. There are attached rubber caps to seal the ends of the pump when the hose is stored inside.
I've had the first pump for about 9 months and used it twice--still works like new.
The red or blue ones would be nice to have to match my bike kit, but the colors always seem to be a lot more expensive or out of stock, so the basic black/silver is what I go with. Still looks like nice, goes with any color bike, and seems like a really well-designed piece of equipment.

Ride on!, July 25, 2010
By BigDee
|

I bought this pump a few months ago and have used it several times. This is a GREAT little pump! For such a compact pump it can get a tire's pressure up rather quickly. One could easily carry it in a cargo pocket. I am very happy with it and I would definitely recommend it. It's always in my backpack when I ride. I'm currently looking to purchase a floor pump and a Lezyne will be at the top of my search list.

Pretty good road pump, but not for Mountian bikes!, September 16, 2010
By S. Kaufman (Boulder, CO)
|
|
Very light and thin profile is great for use with skinny tires. I typically use mine to get an inner-tube started and then use a CO2 cartridge for the rest, but you can pump the tire full if you needed. Not for a MT Bike though! I would guess you would be at it for about an hour to fill a 26 x 2.35 tire and lets face it, bikers are not known for great arms! So, I picked up a CO2 system for my MT bike as well and the pump is for getting started and finished.

SAFE, February 9, 2011
By Ernest Garcia-Diaz (California, USA)

After breaking the valve stems off of several tubes with my previous pump, I decided to purchase this due to the hose attachment that screws over the valve on the tube. The pump works great but does get a bit hot after some serious pumping. I am very impressed on how it performs. I purchased this pump along with a CO2 tire kit. I had my doubts on if I should really carry two pumps, but this pump works so well and is so light that I don't mind carrying around two types of pumps.

I bought a second one. That says something., November 6, 2010
By Robert Sanges (Massachusetts, USA)

I have 2 of these, on my XC and touring bikes.
On my XC bike, I like to "ride to the ride", so I sometimes put in 25 road miles to and from the trailhead. This pump is perfect for airing-up for the return road portion of the ride. The barrel gets a little warm by the end of the second tire, but not enough to worry about the seals.
I like the flexible hose as it takes the stress off the valve stem and makes it easier to pump harder/faster.
It comes with a mouting bracket that goes on/under a bottle cage mount.

Lezyne Pump - thumbs up!, October 21, 2010
By A. Lasu
|
|
After using a couple of Bell pumps, I spent time reviewing pumps and ran across this gem. Everything's compact enough not to add any unneeded weight on my road bike. Pumping is very easy with the extended tube. You will not regret it.

This pump is super light, very well designed and easy to use. I would highly recommend this over a less expensive handpump.

Works well, July 15, 2010
By mountainslayer (Brooklyn, ny United States)

Product as advertised works well. You just need to find the right twisted securely fastening the air hose connector to the bike wheel. Once U find that place just pump away.

 Terrible pump for presta valves, it unscrews the valve!, August 1, 2011
By G. Powell (Seattle, WA USA)
|
|
I have the smallest of these pumps. I got it as a gift. I wanted it for a number of good reasons, small easy to pack in my seat bag of tools, light weight, hose to connect to the valve makes it less likely to break the valve off, easy to get to high pressure. But it has one fatal flaw, no matter how I screw it on to my Presta valves, after inflating the tire to pressure (which was really really easy.) unscrewing the hose unscrewed the valve and let all the air out. Fortunately I was changing my tire at home and not on the road so I was able to use my old Zefal HPX #4 Frame Pump 59-64cm Silver which while heavier did the job. So guess which pump is now in the used parts bin? Yep this one. Might work better for Schrader valves. Or maybe if I used loc-tight on the presta cores but until then. Recommendation: AVOID.
PS
I am currently using Continental Tubes. My understanding is that some other manufacturers don't have a screw out valve. I'm going to try switching tube manufacturers and will report back. Until then, AVOID.

Looks great, May 13, 2010

I haven't really had a chance to use the pump yet, which I think is a good thing. It mounted nicely on my Trek and it looks nice.

Just what I needed!, February 8, 2012
By ThatSteveDude

It's small, light, and perfect to store in a pack or on my bike. The first time I used it was a bit tricky but got the hang of it shortly after. The red wasn't as red as in the picture but otherwise I would buy it again.

Optimistic PSI rating..., January 19, 2012
By Golden Tamaraw (Thorndale, PA)
|
|
As my review title says, take its claimed 120psi maximum rating with a grain of salt. As others may have correctly estimated, the actual maximum PSI rating of any frame pump is half of its claim. So in this case, 60psi is more like it and I've proven it based on my experience. After a lot of pure will and muscle trying to squeeze in as much air as I can, the reading I was consistently getting after all my best effort is a measly 70psi. Any road cyclist knows that this is not enough for a regular ride, but it's good enough to get home or to find the nearest bike shop to top it off.
With that out of the way, I really like the construction of this pump. It looks and feels durable, has smooth movement of the pump, and the neat storage placement of the flexible hose. Since I'm aware of those Presta valves whose cores might get pulled out when using the pump's Presta end of the hose, I will spare myself from the hassle and instead use my handy Presta adapter. I'll buy this again in case mine breaks and it reaches 3 years, but by then I'll get the ABS-equipped model.

Work!!, January 8, 2012
By shooter (OKUSA)

In short: This pump will definitely get you to the next rest stop, or home. I let the air out of the tire of my spare bike and tried to pump it up using this pump. It was a little bit hard to keep the hose on the valve, but after I pumped it about 20 times, the hose seemed to stay on. It took about 150 times to get decent air into the tire and my arm was tired! I guess if I am out there in the middle of nowhere, then I have more motivation to pump it full. And this pump can do it.
The pump is small and comes with holder that you can mount it on one of your bottle cage, unlike others that you would lose one of the cage. It's small and light enough that your can put in your back pocket. It is beautifully made with excellent workmanship. The reason I knocked off a star was it rattling when I ride. I guess the hose was loose inside the pump and made the noise. I am still trying to figure out how to get rid of the noise. But I like the pump, even it is a bit pricey.

excellent tool for the job, December 13, 2011
By StephenC

I want a pump that is actually useful when I'm dead tired and miles from home and this fits the bill. The pump weighs next to nothing and it's very reliable. Definitely worth the extra money for the hose / threaded attachment.

 Lezyne Pressure Valve S: problem with certain Schrader valves, November 20, 2011
By R. Donnell (Phoenix, AZ)
|
|
When I first purchased this pump, I tried it on my bike: I started with 47.5 psi in the tube, pumped over 100 times, and it still read 47.5 psi. I tried the pump at the store where I had purchased it, and it worked there; it also worked at home on an old tube I had discarded, but I have tried it four or five times on the new tubes I had installed on my bike, and no air enters the valve -- the pump just feels like the hose is completely plugged -- that is, you can feel it pushing back as you try to operate it.
I assume there's something about the dimensions of the Schrader valve stem on the tubes I am using -- two Bell self-sealing tubes, one of them a "Flatblocker Max" -- that doesn't allow the Schrader connection on the Lezyne Pressure Drive S to operate the valve properly.
I don't enjoy giving this pump a negative review. I thought it would be exactly what I needed: I wanted a hand pump with a hose because I had had difficulty using my original Serfas hand pump. This Lezyne pump seems to work fine on typical tubes. I have to return this one because for whatever reason, it just doesn't work with my brand-new tubes. I just wanted to warn others to check it out to make sure it works for you -- or, if you have already bought one, I'd recommend you avoid those particular Bell tubes.
