Throughout most of its lifespan, a mini pump remains tucked away, seldom seeing the light of day. Yet, when the moment arises, that 1% of its life, it must deliver performance without fail. The mini pump market presents a dichotomy: on one hand, there are the “small pumps” which offer little volume per stroke, and on the other, the “good pumping pumps” which are cumbersome enough to warrant being mounted on a bike. The challenge, then, is to create a pump that embodies the best of both worlds—compact yet powerful. Enter the DoubleShot, an innovative solution designed to redefine expectations. The vision was to craft an alternative to CO2 pumps, one that could fit snugly in a saddle pack while being efficient enough to keep the group ride from waiting. The goal was clear: a mini pump half the size of its predecessors but with double the power.
The result of this ambition is the DoubleShot, an exceptionally compact mini pump. Its diminutive size allows it to slip effortlessly into almost any saddlebag or even a cyclist’s back pocket, remaining practically unnoticeable until needed. Despite its small stature, the DoubleShot boasts a remarkable pumping capacity, with a volume of 35 cc per stroke, ensuring tires are inflated swiftly and efficiently. This impressive performance is made possible by its innovative 2-piece design, which incorporates four shafts to deliver an unparalleled pump volume. Such engineering ensures that, with the DoubleShot, cyclists can resume their journey in no time, minimizing delays and maximizing riding pleasure.
Moreover, the DoubleShot’s smart design doesn’t stop at its pumping prowess. Its 120mm length makes it one of the shortest pumps available, guaranteeing easy storage without compromising functionality. The four-chamber technology underpins its capability, providing a robust 35 cc per stroke output. Ease of use is another hallmark of the DoubleShot. It features a tubeless-friendly push-on pump head, simplifying the inflation process for all tire types. The inclusion of two handles and a long hose further enhances its user-friendliness, ensuring comfortable operation regardless of its compact size.
Durability and portability are also critical considerations addressed by the DoubleShot’s design. Constructed from aluminum, both the body and shaft are built to last, while maintaining a lightweight profile that makes it an easy carry for any cyclist. In essence, the DoubleShot stands as the world’s smartest mini pump, embodying a perfect blend of size, power, and convenience. It redefines what cyclists can expect from a mini pump, proving that small doesn’t have to mean weak, and compact can indeed be mighty.
