8 best air shock pumps
An air shock pump, often referred to as a suspension pump, is a specialized tool used in cycling to adjust and maintain the air pressure in suspension forks and rear shocks on mountain bikes and other types of bicycles designed for off-road riding. Here's what you need to know about air shock pumps in the context of cycling and outdoor recreation:
Purpose: Air shock pumps are designed to add or release air pressure in the suspension components of a bicycle, namely the front suspension fork and the rear shock absorber. Properly adjusted suspension can significantly impact the rider's comfort, control, and performance when riding on uneven terrain.
Compatibility: Air shock pumps are compatible with suspension forks and shocks that use air springs. Not all suspension systems use air, as some rely on coil springs, so it's essential to check your bike's components before using an air shock pump.
Pressure Adjustment: The primary function of an air shock pump is to adjust the air pressure in the suspension components. By increasing or decreasing the pressure, riders can fine-tune the firmness or softness of their suspension to match their riding style and the type of terrain they're tackling.
Pressure Gauge: Most air shock pumps come equipped with a built-in pressure gauge, which allows riders to precisely set the desired air pressure. This is crucial for achieving the optimal suspension performance.
Portability: Air shock pumps are typically compact and lightweight, making them easy to carry in a bike bag or backpack during rides. This allows cyclists to make on-the-go adjustments as needed.
Usage: To use an air shock pump, you'll typically follow these steps:
- Connect the pump's nozzle to the valve on your suspension fork or shock.
- Check the current air pressure on the pump's gauge or the bike's recommended pressure settings.
- Add or release air as needed to reach the desired pressure.
- Disconnect the pump and ensure the valve is securely closed.
Maintenance: Regular maintenance of your air shock pump is essential to ensure accuracy and longevity. Keep the pump clean, and periodically check and calibrate the pressure gauge if necessary.
Safety: Overinflating or underinflating your suspension can affect your bike's handling and safety. Always consult your bike's manual or manufacturer's recommendations for the appropriate air pressure settings.
In summary, air shock pumps are valuable tools for cyclists, especially those who enjoy off-road riding. They allow riders to fine-tune their bike's suspension to match their riding preferences and the specific terrain they encounter. Regular maintenance and following manufacturer guidelines for air pressure settings are crucial to ensure safe and optimal performance when using an air shock pump.

Question: | What is the length or size |
Answer: | All main channels and sub channels are in the guide. Yes sub channels are all in SD in the LA area. |
Question: | can i use it on tires |
Answer: | You can buy a USB hard drive to add DVR capability (AirTV site has recommended hard drives). It supports up to 2TB of recording space, which can store over 400 hours of recordings. The AirTV has 2 tuners: live viewing, DVR recording, or DVR playback each requires a tuner. So you can watch live on two devices at the same time. Or watch one channel live and DVR record it or another channel at the same time. Or DVR record two channels w/ no watching. Or watch one or two DVR recordings. If you try to use more than 2 tuners it will ask you to stop one of the other tuner using activities. |
Question: | Will this pump work on a 2011 float rp23 rear suspension |
Answer: | If you already have SlingTV, better deal is to prepay for three months and get AirTV-2 for $39.00 shipped to your home, just call Sling and ask for this offer. |
Question: | The picture shows two products. Does this come with two pumps |
Answer: | No, not at all. It's always best to connect devices, that can be, via Ethernet. Please see my review (Casper). If you're using an Ethernet connection to the AirTV 2 no need to use the built in WiFi. It will be linked into your home network. Hope this Helps. :-) |
- ACCURATE: The gauge is precisely machined and carefully tested in the factory. It gives very accurate gauge reading even for a very high pressure with low volume air. The feature ensures that the rider could set the air shock or fork pressure exactly according to the rider weight.
- HIGH PRESSURE: A lot of shocks or forks require very high pressure. The high pressure shock pump's aluminum alloy barrel is specially designed for pumping shocks or forks. It pumps less volume of the air but high pressure easily. The maximum pressure it reaches: 300 PSI or 20 bars
- DUAL MEASUREMENT INDICATOR: The gauge has PSI or bars measurements for your convenience. The black background and white needle ensure clear and easy reading. Another good feature is that the gauge is also waterproof. 360 degree rotating flexible hose can reach the valve at at any angle.
- AIR BLEED BUTTON: You may have pumped too much air in the shocks or forks. The air bleed button allows to release the excess air without disconnecting the pump hose. Pump Length: 230mm = 9.05 inch. Weight: 216g = 0.48lbs.

WHAT IS SUSPENSION SAG?
Suspension sag is the amount of suspension travel used when you are sitting on your bike in a natural riding position. This means that when you get on your bike and have your weight distributed like you would when riding, the suspension should be compressed some amount. The reason that we want sag is so the wheels are able to conform to the contour and shape of the ground while riding over rough terrain.
With too much sag, meaning the suspension travel is compressed too much when weighted, the suspension may bottom out too often and the bike's geometry may be out of wack making it harder to corner, jump, etc. With not enough sag, you aren't getting the full benefit of a suspension mountain bike and the bike will struggle to find traction.
HOW TO DIAL IN YOUR SHOCKS FOR A GREAT RIDE
There are two main steps to setting your suspension
1. Setting your sag - the amount of movement in your suspension.
2. Setting your damping - how quickly the fork or shock returns to its resting position after it has compressed.
To set your sag, use your shock pump to adjust the air level in your stanchions so that they sink approximately 25% of their total length when you put all your weight through the bike.If the movement is less than 25% of the stanchion’s length, you need to bleed air from your shocks with the shock pump. If the movement is more than 25%, you need to add air with your shock pump. This process requires a little trial and error and it helps to have a friend assist you.
When you’re happy that your stanchions are moving around 25% down the shock/fork, take a note of the pressure that you have in the stanchion for future reference. You will next need to set your damping by adjusting the rebound knobs on your suspension.

User questions & answers
Question: | I have a pump just like this i need an end for the hose it is missing the rubber gascket |
Answer: | The pump screws onto Schraeder valves, like on your car tires. If that's what you have, this should work. |
Question: | Does the end piece swivel |
Answer: | This pump works with all rockshox forks and shocks |
Question: | Does this pump come with a storage case |
Answer: | I’m not sure what country it is manufactured in, but it is shipped from the USA |
Question: | Will this pump work on another brands of air fork/shock |
Answer: | It fits on a regular Schraeder valve (like on your car tires), so if that's what you have, and you need under 300psi, I'd say go for it. |
- 【Top Features】Selectable dual function / Fine tune bleeder button / 300psi(21bar) precise clear view dial gauge, Easy to read /CNC aluminum alloy body / Mounting bracket /360 degree swivel hose / User-friendly Schrader & Presta valve adapter.

User questions & answers
Question: | I bought one and thought that the gauge will read the current air I have in the tire. Am i using this poperly? used the presta adapter |
Answer: | If your post uses a schrader valve then yes. Schrader valves are the type that are on a car tire, btw. The nozzle screws onto the valve. |
Question: | Why wont the pump screw on presta valve |
Answer: | No. Mounting brackets normally come with tire pumps, not shock pumps. |
Question: | Will this mini shock pump work on tires as well |
Answer: | It is only for Schrader valves, and not designed to pump up tires. |
Question: | will this fit on a cannondale headshok i.e. fit up inside the fork |
Answer: | What is a pressure bleed bottom? Others words probably not. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Will the nozzle fit my TranzX dropper seat post |
Answer: | Not 100% on the SID models (?), But if they have a Schrader valve then this will work. Works on my RockShox fork, and my X-fusion shock. |
Question: | Does this pump come with a mounting bracket |
Answer: | This is a Shock pump. It isn't for tires. It takes a very low volume but high-pressure hand pump like this to reach the psi you need for Shocks. If your husband wants an electric pump he probably wants a tire pump, not a shock pump. A tire pump would be lower pressure but high volume so you can pump it up faster. But honestly, most cyclists prefer to just use a good Floor pump and pump up tires by hand. They are affordable and will last a lifetime, They make it easy to pump a tire up to a very specific psi. electric pumps or air compressors can be tricky, you always pump up a tire to fast and miss your target haha. |
Question: | can this be used on a presta valve bike tire? like a road/racing bike with french/uk valves |
Answer: | Hi Juan, Thank you very much for your question. Yes, all of the products you purchase from PRO BIKE TOOL are covered by our brilliant lifetime warranty. Hope this helps! Tom PRO BIKE TOOL |
Question: | Please help does it has a pressure bleed bottom |
Answer: | H Stephanie, I am very sorry, no we do not have such a product. Since very few, if any, Shock pumps us a Presta Valve connection. Thank you Tom PRO BIKE TOOL |
