🔧 High Pressure Shock Pump by Fox Review

This is great. The pump is very narrow, about the size of a sharpie marker. This small cross-section easily generates many psi. The pressure relief valve works well. I was able to pump my shock up to 250 pounds where I only get 10% of the travel and I have to depressurize to get the recommended 25%. With the pump that came with my bike (a quarter cross section) I could barely get 125psi and the ride was soft with almost 50% of the movement coming from just my weight. Twice as expensive in terms

Good if you need accuracy and want to make sure you have the right amount of air. Don't take that shock pump. The quality and finish is ok for a small pump, but the biggest issue is the swivel head. He is very small. And if you have big hands, you will have a hard time unscrewing and removing the pan head. And if you make an effort to remove it, you lose air. This is difficult on my Lyrik fork and especially on my PNW LOAM dropper post. This shock should only be used as a backup pump and not as

Arrived today and used it straight away on my Cannondale Jekyll - worked great. I was pleasantly surprised at how little effort it took to get such a high pressure, but then again I'm 6ft 250+ pounds so if I can't inflate it easily that's a big problem. Either way, it was sleek, easy to use, and got the job done without much hassle. Note that you will need to "pump" a little when using this to compensate for the small amount of pressure that comes out when unscrewing the impact. Some people go…

Had to replace my old pump because I dropped it and the gauge broke. I figured you couldn't ask for a better Fox, especially since I have Fox suspension on my bike. The pump is made of high quality materials and its fit and finish is appealing. What disappointed me the most was the single-stage valve. Which honestly isn't the biggest problem with front forks as you're usually dealing with lower pressures (80-120psi). However, on my 290psi DPX2 shock, the pressure drop due to valve separation is

This is a high quality percussion pump, works well, is very durable and well made and I am sure it will last a long time. I don't know why you should spend more money on something nicer. I don't use it much (once I've used my shocks I'm fine). Definitely worth it, I would buy it again. UPDATE: I recommend checking the pressure in your shocks with a digital pressure gauge. The pressure gauge on this pump is not accurate at lower pressures. I decided to check the pressure in the shocks and forks…

So far, so good. Seems very well done. You may be wondering why you need this and not just use a bike pump. The answer is twofold. On the one hand because of the tight valve coupling. Someone will say it sucks air when disconnected. What they actually hear is air coming out of the pump, not a beat. Second, the nominal pressure. It is capable of reaching 300psi. The maximum value of most compressors and bicycle pumps is 150 or 160. In fact, this is sufficient for most air springs. But there are…
