Buy bicycle pumps online – for road bikes, mountain bikes & everyday use

Whether you're looking for a bicycle pump with a pressure gauge for precise pressure control, need a lightweight mini pump for your jersey pocket, or prefer a robust floor pump with a wooden handle and steel cylinder: the range covers all common valve types – Presta (Sclaverand), Schrader (car valve) and Dunlop – and offers thoughtful details such as pump heads, large gauge displays and durable seals. Whether you're a road cyclist, mountain biker, commuter or family rider, you'll quickly find the right bicycle pump for your individual needs.

The right bicycle pump for every valve type

Modern bicycle pumps feature universal pump heads that can be switched between Presta and Schrader valves with a single movement. Many models also support the classic Dunlop valve, which is common on numerous Swiss everyday and city bikes. When purchasing, make sure the pump you want reliably seals the valve of your bicycle tubes and provides a firm hold – this makes every pumping process effortless and safe.

Floor pump, mini pump or CO₂ pump?

For regular inflation at home, a floor pump with large air volume, stable steel cylinder and easy-to-read pressure gauge is the first choice. Mini pumps and frame pumps are compact, lightweight and specifically designed for on the go – they fit in any jersey pocket or can be mounted directly on the frame. CO₂ pumps enable tire inflation in seconds using a cartridge and are particularly popular with road cyclists for quick emergency use. Which pump is right depends on the intended use, the desired pressure performance and the available space.

Who is this category suitable for?

This category is ideal for road cyclists, mountain bikers, commuters, touring cyclists and families in Switzerland looking for a reliable bicycle pump for home or on the go.

Quality, materials & pressure performance

When buying a bicycle pump, it's worth paying attention to high-quality materials such as steel or aluminum cylinders, precisely manufactured pump heads with durable seals, and an easy-to-read, calibrated pressure gauge. The maximum pressure performance should also match the intended use – while floor pumps often achieve 10 bar and more, mini pumps are optimized for the essentials. Quality brands also offer spare parts such as seals and pump heads, which significantly extends the product's service life.

Frequently asked questions

What types of bicycle pumps are there?▾

There are floor pumps for home use with high air volume and precise pressure display, compact mini pumps and frame pumps for on the go, as well as CO₂ pumps for quick inflation during a flat tire. Each type is designed for a specific application.

What is the difference between a floor pump and a mini pump?▾

A floor pump offers a large air volume per stroke, a stable baseplate, a long pressure gauge and is ideally suited for regular inflation at home. A mini pump is small, lightweight and is carried on the frame or in a backpack when on the go – it is intended for occasional top-ups and emergencies.

Which valve fits my bicycle pump?▾

Modern bicycle pumps usually support a universal pump valve that is suitable for both French Sclaverand valves (Presta) and car valves (Schrader) – often simply by reversing the pump head. Before purchasing, check whether the desired bicycle pump also supports Dunlop valves, which are common on many everyday and Dutch-style bikes.

How much pressure should a good bicycle pump be able to build?▾

That depends on the intended use. For road bikes with narrow tires, pressures up to 8–11 bar (approx. 115–160 PSI) are necessary. Mountain bike tires usually only need 1.5–3.5 bar. A good floor pump easily achieves 10 bar and more, while mini pumps are typically designed for pressures up to about 6–8 bar.

Which bicycle pump is best suited for on the go?▾

For on the go, lightweight mini pumps with a bracket for the bottle cage or compact CO₂ pumps are ideal. Many models from Lezyne, Topeak and SKS weigh under 150 g and fit in any jersey pocket. CO₂ pumps enable tire inflation in seconds but require replacement cartridges.

How do I properly connect a bicycle pump to the valve?▾

First open the valve (for Presta valves, loosen the small knurled nut), then push the pump head on fully and lock it with the lever, if available. After inflating, release the lever, pull the pump head off straight and retighten the knurled nut on Presta valves. Gentle removal prevents damage to the valve core.

Can I also use a bicycle pump for other tires like strollers or balls?▾

Yes, many floor pumps come with an adapter set that includes ball needles, air mattress adapters and other attachments. This allows you to also inflate sports balls, exercise balls or stroller tires. When purchasing, check whether the desired model includes the appropriate accessories.

How do I properly maintain and care for my bicycle pump?▾

The pump should be stored dry and protected from dust to avoid corrosion and contamination of the pump mechanism. For floor pumps, a drop of silicone oil can occasionally be added to the cylinder to keep the seal supple. The pump head and seals should be regularly checked for cracks or wear and replaced if necessary – spare parts are often available individually from brands like SKS and Topeak.
