Lezyne releases new 'gravel-specific' floor pump range

Maybe a fad for you, but I've never done the TdF nor pumped more than about 65psi into my tyres. So all these pumps boasting 160psi are not my scene. I'd far rather have a wider bore pump and get the job done in fewer strokes. That said, I don't see why that should cost a penny extra.

Haven't such pumps long existed? And they worked on hybrids and MTBs too...

I think it's the marketing BS that people are noting, rather than the concept of a pump which is more focused on larger volume, lower pressure tyres.

I could see the logic for a mini-pump but for a floor pump this seems a bit unnecessary. I've never found it an issue pumping up high-volume tyres with a standard "road" track pump - they can still shift a decent amount of air! And while I know there's a trend towards running lower pressures on the road too, I don't want a different track pump for each bike, so a pump that can't get above 100psi seems to be a bit limited. 

I guess a slightly higher volume output might help seat tubeless tyres, but for the really tricky ones I still think you'd want an airshot or similar - and a pump that can top it up to a nice high pressure!

I was "encouraged" to pump up the better halfs motor vehicle tyres this afternoon, so that we could go and pick up my replacement Ultimate Commuter" frame (Yay!).  Shit those tyres took a lot of pumping.

I wish my Topeak Turbibooster X chuck would seat on the presta stem, unfortuantely it needs a valve core, I will break one to improve the airflow.  My first bit of critisism of Topeaks excellent pump stuff.  I might check to see it the SmartHead I have on my JoeBlow does, I could swap them over when needed.

Lezyne pumps do unfortuanely often have a little more style over substance, maybe this pump range is different.

Wow, a Lezyne pump designed for a valve with the core removed, as opposed to one that removes it for you at the side of the road 10 miles from home on a cold, wet, and windy November night.

Yes! I've been there

When your fingers are freezing and you can't get any purchase on the valve core.

Yeah, you pump it up only to unscrew the core too and start all over again🤬🤬🤬

I've several Lezyne pumps from mini to floor pumps (no gravel pump though 🤣🤣) and the pumps themselves are well made. Flip thread chucks are just a PITA though.

I've had just as many nightmares including ripped valve stems, non-sealing pumps and corrosion with toppeak, sks, BBB and others though.
