SKS Germany SAM Damper Pump - Air Pump for AV Valves, Precision Pressure Gauge, Swivel Hose Connection, Max. Pressure: 25 Bar/360 PSI

My old high pressure XLC pump finally gave out on me (after 2 years of service) so I needed a new high pressure pump for my mountain bike fork, rear shock, and dropper post. I skipped the Fox Racing, Rockshox, and Marocchi pumps in favor of the SKS S.A.M. Suspension Pump because, unlike those three (which are so similarly designed) the build of the SKS (and some nice features) made me select it instead. I'm already familiar with SKS, as I have been using their air pressure gauge for the last 2 years and it's been reliable ever since day one. The S.A.M. looks and feels just as good - I don't think SKS cuts any corners when making equipment. The analog air pressure gauge has both PSI and Bar markings (be careful - unlike most of the suspension pumps out there, the outer numbers on this gauge are on the outer ring). The 360-degree rotating air hose is thick and reinforced with a braided sleeve. Attaching the pump to your bicycle front fork, rear shock, or dropper post is done via the heavy duty two-stage Schrader connector. The molded handle is large and shaped to fit inside the hand. Getting the air pressure up to the right number is easy, and if you go too far SKS has a nice solution: instead of an overly sensitive air release button that other pumps have, the S.A.M. has a pressure release dial. Turn it clockwise and air will be released based on how far you turn the dial. Once you're finished, the braided hose actually slides inside the handle grip for storage. It's a well thought out product, and if my excellent experience with the SKS air pressure gauge is any indication, the S.A.M. should be around for a long, long time also.

I paid BIG money for the PUSH shock & wanted a quality accurate pump. There are countless pumps out there and if you've done your homework you've found that this is the most expensive AND best quality you can find. I can't believe how many identical competitive pumps are out there that are the same pump but just renamed. Don't be fooled by product relabeling. Are you gonna save $5 or get the best pump available? You decide. This pump is spot on psi accuracy. As the old saying goes, in this case, you get what you pay for. Get the best & leave the rest!

Not exactly what I wanted but I will get use to it. Needed PSI only so my mistake. Pumped up shocks QUICK. I was looking at "bar" and not PSI so almost over inflated. The valve to let air out worked fine for my mistake. The two stage connection worked like a charm, no air loss.

I bought this for my mountain bike Fox shox. This little pump is a beast it fits on to the small area where the shrader valve is and you can tweak the air level in your shock with the pressure release. There is a great gauge to get the exact amount of pressure and a no air loss valve connecter. This pump has a little weight to it as it is made very well. I would definitly buy another.

All shock pumps are the same... NOT. This one has the most sensible Chuck out there wherein the Schrader valve is engaged and disengaged in a positive , repeatable, and consistent manner. Holy cr@p, it's not made in China! Germany? Yes. The land of over-complicated automobiles has given us a truly superior shock pump. Buy it.

This is a German pump with all the consequences. It is very well designed, compact, light, feels very smooth, and does everything as expected. The double-valve feature works very well. I cannot comment on the reliability as I have not used it long enough.

works as advertised

It's the first shock pump I bought based on the reviews, so it could be that other pumps are even worse and this is one of the best, but it's a massive pain to use. For one you need to press very hard and neither the handle nor the body provide enough grip for that. I ended up pressing the end of the pump into the ground and putting all my weight on the handle. A T-shaped handle would be much better design. A platform at the end opposite to the handle or maybe some rubber grip would not harm either. Then there is the 2 stage connector, which is supposed to not let the air out... It doesn't work: I unscrew the valve core screw all the way and pressure remains the same ( who knows, it could be the air locked in the hose) but as I unscrew the connector from the valve stem there is a lot of hissing and if I screw the pump back on, I am a couple bars under what I pumped. Luckily I don't have any suspension and used this on a dropper seatpost, if I had to tune up suspension I would definitely use something else.

Bonne pompe haute pression pour ma fourche moto

tiene doble cierre y evita que pierda aire. no entra mucho aire cada vez que le das pero para mi es más que suficiente.

I paid 7 pounds for this. It's a perfectly good shock pump and all others are over 25 pounds. I don't even know how they made it for that money. Pumps up my front suspension in seconds and feels good quality. Showed it to my mates and two of them bought one straight away. Must surely be a price error... take advantage.

Perfect for my EUC Suspension. Thanks!
