Heat is the enemy of mini pumps, and the Pocket Impero doesn't lose efficiency as it warms up. Its leather gasket and metal construction make it one of the most efficient pocketable pumps SILCA has tested.

Highlights

  • Full alloy construction
  • Leather piston gasket that keeps working efficiently when hot
  • Sits between high-pressure and high-volume designs
  • Slide-lock silicone sleeve improves grip and doubles as a handle lock
  • 150 g and 8 in long

Why it is faster

More strokes create more friction, and friction creates heat and wasted energy. In the BikeRadar test protocol, the Pocket Impero reached higher pressures at 200 strokes than any other pocketable pump tested, meaning it moves more air with fewer losses.

Service parts

It uses a SILCA 751 leather gasket and a SILCA 323 rubber gasket, both available as replacement parts.

Compatibility & fit

Presta valves only. Inflates to 120 psi. It has no threaded Schrader receiver, so it cannot be used with SILCA's alternative chucks.

SILCA-Shield Warranty: a 25-year hard parts guarantee (any hard part that fails in regular use is repaired or replaced), 2-year no-fault repair or replacement of functional damage regardless of cause, and SILCA Limited 2-year coverage for rubber, leather and gauge parts. For warranty support, return the product to Tune Cycles and we'll manage the claim with SILCA's Australian distributor.
