Families, casual riders and mountain bikers who want one cheap pump for bikes and sports gear.
The Zefal Max is a simple multi-purpose mini pump made in France. It uses a flexible connection so you can pump without levering on the valve, and a screw-on adaptor for Presta and Schrader valves.
Inside the handle you'll find a ball needle and inflatable adapters, so the same pump looks after footballs, pool toys and kids' bikes. It's rated to 4 bar / 58 psi, which suits wider tyres from 35 to 76 mm, such as mountain, hybrid and kids' bikes.
At 150 g it's easy to throw in a bag, though road riders running high pressures will want a road-specific pump.

Keep it working
