Blackburn presents the mother of all floor pumps

Anyone who has ever pumped a tire with the "TP5" floor pump from Blackburn will never want to work with another pump again: Because thanks to the large-volume pressure tube, ten strokes are enough to bring even voluminous tubes up to a good 3 bar pressure. And the pump can be switched to high-pressure mode with a small button. Ideal for less powerful people or for pumping a racing bike tire to 9 bar pressure.

Blackburn has now unveiled the successors to the legendary "TP5" at Eurobike: The "Airtower 4" and "Airtower 5" models. However, if you want to secure the finest floor pump ever, go straight for the luxury version "Airtower 5CF". The abbreviation "CF" stands for "Carbon Fiber", because if everyone is making frames out of carbon fiber, Blackburn didn't want to be left behind.

On the "Airtower 5CF", not only is the pressure tube made of carbon fiber, but also the dial of the pressure display. In addition, the button for activating the high-pressure mode has been integrated into the forged base of the pump, which makes sense in terms of ergonomics. Let's be honest: nobody needs a pump that costs a good 350 francs. But you're still allowed to treat yourself to something.
