Syncros SP1.0 Digital Shock Pump Black, One Size

Reasons to buy the Syncros SP1.0:1) The two stage connector allows you to disconnect the pump without losing air from the shock / fork.2) The bleed valve gives very fine control when releasing air.3) The digital gauge is easy to read and seems to be accurate.4) The pump is more rugged than others I have used - it feels easier to pump at higher psi than pumps from Rock Shox and Fox that I have used in the past.Just know that this pump is heavier than others and probably isn't the best option for carrying when riding. Otherwise, I highly recommend this pump and think it is a worthwhile investment. The only shock pump that might surpass this one is the Specialized Air Tool UHP Floor Pump - if you have the space for a floor pump to inflate shocks and forks, check it out. For my purposes, the Syncros SP1.0 is perfect.

I have a couple of mountain bike suspension elements that are sensitive to pressure so having a pump that is say 10 PSI off is going to be an issue.I did a bunch of research on digital pumps and went ahead and bit the bullet on this one.Excellent pump - easy to use, accurate, precise, the bleed off valve feature (twist knob on the back of the display) is great.I ran some benchmarks against a couple of analog handheld shock pumps I have and they were all over the place in terms of accuracy.The construction of this pump is nice and sturdy but it might be a bit bulky/heavy to put in a pack depending on your needs but that is pretty nit picky and at this point my only regret is that I didn't hop over to a pump like this sooner.

This is without a doubt the best shock pump of them all. It very well designed and built. The gauge is super precise and accurate. The release valve lets you control air release very precisely. The 360 degrees swivel is awesome. It's made of metal and seems very sturdy (but is heavy). The two steps schrader chuck design is perfect: it solves the problem of air loss while unscrewing the chuck from the valve. (Yes, the air being released when disconnecting is mostly coming from the pump and not the shock. But, with other pump chuck design there is a little bit of air escaping the shock while unscrewing, i.e. there is a transitory phase while unscrewing the chuck that allows the schrader pin to be partially depressed while the chuck rubber gasket is not sealing, therefore allowing air to escape the shock. Not with this pump as the pin release and the unsealing are two independent steps.) Now, all this may not matter as one should set the shock pressure by sag, but in fact this pump offers consistency and repeatability which make adjusting the sag precisely way more easy.

First one I received had a defect with the rubber seal inside the valve. I was able to get it to work but was not impressed with how well it held air while being disengaged. I returned it for a new one hoping the defect was the cause. Unfortunately I get the same results. Not the end of the world, it can be compensated for. Just thought I'd get better results than the cheaper options out there. I must say it does have a very nice quality feel to it.

I previously the SP2.0 dial gauge version, but it was difficult to read on low light. The SP1.0 digital gauge is very easy to read and measures in 0.5 psi increments. It is much easier to pump at high pressures than my old Fox shock pump. The angle of the hose is also useful when inflating a rear shock. Includes directions for disassembly to replace battery.

Highend forks and shocks have great tuning capability, but it’s hard to get your ride dialed in if your pump isn’t consistently accurate. As soon as you hold this pump in your hand you know it’s a high quality instrument. The nozzle threads on easily and the two stage barrel eliminates air loss when disconnecting. The dial is very easy to read and shows pressure down to .5 pounds. I bought two other pumps that had good reviews but ended up returning them because the gauges were too hard to read and the nozzles were difficult to thread on and off. My only regret with the Syncros is that I didn’t buy it first.

No need to turn it on or off. When pressure is sensed the display turns on. When pressure is removed it turns off in about 90 seconds. Pumps fairly easily. Recommended.

If u have a mountain bike this is the pump to get. Great for setting up any suspension and very accurate and most durable. Love this pump. Digital readout. Works so well. Love it
