Description

The Airstik SL is Blackburn's lightest mini pump at 59 grams, designed for riders who want roadside inflation without carrying extra weight. The aluminum barrel construction keeps the pump durable while maintaining a compact profile that fits in a jersey pocket or mounts discreetly under a water bottle cage. The pump measures 158 millimeters in length with a 25-millimeter barrel diameter, small enough to disappear on your frame but functional enough to get you home after a flat.

The push-on Presta head eliminates the need for a threaded connection or flip lever—just press the head onto the valve and start pumping. This design reduces the chance of valve damage and speeds up the inflation process when you're roadside. The Presta-only configuration means there's no dual-head mechanism to add weight or complexity, which is why this pump stays so light. If you're running Presta valves on your road or gravel bike, this is the setup you want.

The included frame mount attaches underneath your water bottle cage using the existing cage bolts, so the pump sits tucked against the frame where it stays out of the way. This mounting position works on most frame geometries without interfering with bottle access. The aluminum construction handles repeated use without flexing or cracking, and Blackburn backs the pump with a lifetime warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.... Read More

This pump works. It is very small, light, and durable. The pump head is small enough to fit inside the access cove for the valve stem on my Specialized tri-spoke (HED H3). But there are a few things to know: Unless you are a world class power lifter, you probably are not going to get any where near the 160psi it claims. With vigorous pumping I can get it to about 90psi as long as I can position the wheel such that the pump head is pressing against something solid (like a curb) while pumping. If there is nothing to brace against, it is hard to get more than 70 psi (but not impossible... again if you are strong enough). And you better not be in a big hurry because it is just going to take longer to pump than a full sized frame pump. I have used mine numerous times in the 2 years I have had it and it has never failed. A couple times the pump tubes started to spontaneously unscrew (it can be disassembled) but I just screwed it back together and kept on pumping.... vigorously.

This pump does the job. It’s a back-up for CO2 but has saved me several times on winter rides when the CO2 cartridge freezes the presta valve open.

I carry this pump in my pocket as my carbon frame does not have a location to fit a frame pump. I use the pump for the total disaster flat situations when I’m on my 3rd flat of the ride and I’ve used the 2 canisters that I carry, or my 2nd flat that I patched is slow-leaking and I have to stop every 20 mins or so to refill the leaking tube.

This pump gets me home, but I cannot fill my 23c tires more than 60 or 70lbs...and that’s with Herculean effort. 60lbs is enough for self-rescue...but I would not recommend you use it as primary on-the-road inflator. If I could fit a frame pump on my bike, that would be a far better solution.

Generally speaking, this is a great pump for ancillary use. ie, someone that primarily uses CO2 and wants this as a back-up for a failsafe option - ed
