The HP line from Lezyne stands for High Pressure. Theses pumps are designed for road tires, where low volume is offset by the higher pressures required. One of the challenges for so-called mini pumps is the simple fact that a direct connection to a valve from the pump body means that valve damage is not just possible, but likely. Lezyne bypasses the issue completely with the Gauge Drive HP by providing small hose that is stored within the body of the piston. As with any small pump, there is effort required to deliver the needed pressure, but with the ABS Flex Hose the risk of valve damage is minimal. Per the pump's name, the ABS Flex Hose integrates the Pen Gauge, an accurate in-line gauge that is easy to read. ABS stands for Air Bleed System, an integrated button that allows you dial in the exact pressure you desire.

The Gauge Drive HP Pump works with both Presta and Schrader valves, and is capable of a max pressure of 120 psi (8.3 bar). The CNC'd aluminum construction, and overlapping barrel/ handle design make for a lightweight, compact pump that comes with a Composite Matrix bottle cage bolt offset mount that will carry this essential tool wherever you ride. Don't get caught out, and don't carry a pump that is more likely to damage your valve than not. You will be impressed by the design and features of the Gauge Drive HP, but even more importantly, when you need it, the design and features will be fully functional and make your flat change easier. That is what well executed design should do- deliver the best result, every time.
