AirRevolution Powersports Foot Pump Tire Inflator by MiniFootPump

The AirRevolution MiniFootPump delivers higher volume per stroke than the Original MiniFootPump with only a moderate increase in weight and size. Featuring a lossless attachment valve and an integrated pressure release valve, the AirRevolution should be your choice for all powersports applications and mountain bike air suspensions.

• See a video of the AirRevolution in action!

Why use a foot pump instead of an electric pump?

• No electrical cord = faster, easier setup and use
• Our foot pump is lighter and smaller than most compact 12-volt electrical pumps
• Foot pumps have fewer moving parts so there's less that can wear out or malfunction

Looking for a smaller, lighter duty pump to inflate bicycle tires, balls and other household items? Check out the Original MiniFootPump!

The pressure release valve allows for controlled release of air ensuring you hit the right tire pressure. The lossless attachment valve ensures you don't lose any pressure in removal (or attachment!) of the pump. The AirRevolution has a black nylon base with rubber footing which holds an aluminum cylinder construction, with a standard o-ring equipped piston (stabilizing bypass design).

Features:

• 44-inch long tube
• 0 to 70 PSI gauge
• Foot stand locks pump into compressed position, ensuring the smallest footprint possible - only 6" tall x 3.25" diameter!
• Only 17 oz in weight!

Includes:

• AirRevolution MiniFootPump
• Nylon storage bag with handle
• 3 additional adapters, including a steel needle valve for shocks and balls, a brass Presta adapter and a plastic needle valve for air mattresses

Pump Comparison - electric vs. foot-powered

We wanted to show just how awesome our MiniFootPumps are, so we decided to run a comparison between the Original MiniFootPump, the AirRevolution, the 12V Slime Power Sports Tire Inflator and the 12V Cycle Pump.

Size Comparison:

Pump Weight (lbs) Height (in) Length (in) Width (in) Packed Size (in3) Cycle Pump 12-volt Tire Inflator 2.30 10.25 5.50 2.25 126.84 Slime Power Sports 12-volt Tire Inflator 1.20 6.25 6.50 2.00 81.25 Original MiniFootPump 0.56 5.25 3.50 3.50 64.31 AirRevolution MiniFootPump 1.06 6.00 3.50 3.50 73.50

Pulling the results of the "12 V Mini Pumps Battle!" from the November 2006 issue of Motorcycle Consumer News, we tested the performance of our pumps on a similar rear tire. We used the 17" rear tire of a Triumph Tiger 1050 - they used the 17" rear tire on a Buell Ulysses. Both bikes use the same tire size and shape (180/55 ZR17).

We tested the inflation times to 30 PSI, 36 PSI and 44 PSI. The results? (Note: some times are missing because the MCN article did not record times greater than 5 minutes)

Most 17" front sportbike tires or 19" front dual-sport tires can be inflated in about 60% less time than a 17" rear sportbike or dual-sport tire, as a front tire's volume is about 60% lower. To prove the point, we tested front tire inflation speeds on the Avon 120/60-ZR17 front tire on our shop's Suzuki SV650. MCN did not test front tires, we don't have data for our competitor's pumps.
