Well thought out and designed. The pump chuck is pure genius. Of course no data on durability.
Love the ease of use. Works just as advertised. Wont go back to traditional pumps. Highly recommended.
Easiest pump to use - by far! Just place the head on the valve, squeeze the lever and pump. So well executed! Thanks Radian!
When is a pump more than a pump? The Zilch pump is it. What makes it the best pump I've ever had is the ease of engaging and removing the chuck. It would be impossible to scrape your knuckles using this pump. I got the digital pump which is very accurate. I have never written a review before as I have not been this impressed on any other bike item I have purchased.
Good contruction....works as advertised!
Wow! This thing is great! Took a second to learn the attach method on the first valve but doing the second was smooth as butter. Fantastic!
My only complaint was gonna be that you can't pick it up by the handle and carry it, and then I noticed the hook on the bottom that you can wrap the hose around and it works perfectly! So thoughtfully designed!
This is unquestionably the best bike pump I've ever used. Amazing!
I’ve had lots of floor pumps and electric inflators. The problem with all of them was that they’re a pain to attach to the air valve. You either have to flip/twist a very tight lever or screw on a finicky adapter. With the Zilch pump you just gently place the head onto the valve and squeeze the trigger. It almost makes me look forward to inflating tires.
This is the only bicycle pump you should have and the only one you will ever need from now on. Zero effort need to attach or remove and the pump pushes a high volume of air to fill fat tires quickly.
The air pump and gauge are pretty much standard, but where this thing shines is in the nozzle head. It engages and disengages like an engineering piece of art! Super easy and no hassle at all! So much easier than the "flip lever" style.
This bike pump is a must have for anyone with a presta valve. Quick attachment, no loss of air, and a scale that can easily be seen.
Fantastic. Just buy it. All the other reviews are spot on. Great pump.
A brilliant device that makes the plain task of refilling air somehow even easier! We take for granted things that work and oftentimes don’t try to improve them because we don’t see the need to. Design elements like the ease of locking and unlocking with one hand alongside the magnetic mount for the pump…I love these thoughtful touches. Replaceable parts if needed? I can tell cyclists engineered and built this pump. I wholly recommend the Zilch pump!
Very, very clever design! I’ve been using Bicycle tire pumps for over 40 years. This design is a game changer.Connecting to the Presta or Schrader valve is easy and leak free.
I am a seasoned road bike cyclist, but my girlfriend, who I got into the sport, is not. Even with practice, she had difficulty with regular floor pumps seating on the valve consistently and knowing I was not always around to help, I needed another option. I saw the Zlich ad and thought why not? It works great. She simply places it completely over the presta valve and with a small pull of the trigger, it locks in place all the time with no guesswork or readjustment. Yeah, I know a regular floor pump does the same thing, but for a new cyclist or even someone like myself who has used pumps for years, its nice to not have to fiddle around while pumping tires. Just insert valve, press trigger and pump....everytime.
Highly recommended
I’ve tried lots of pumps and more importantly pump heads. This by far is the easiest head to use, it just works as described. So perfect that most users will just forget about pump struggles of the past.
Digital gauge seems pretty accurate and the two storage pods are a great inclusion.
I bought this as a gift for my son and he said it’s well made and works great
This pump is all that it is advertised to be. It has a very accurate and easy to use digital pressure meter. Most importantly, the pump head attachment to the tire valve is extremely easy. My wife used to regularly destroy tire valve stems with the standard lifting lever-type pump head device. I can see now that she will no longer be putting a shearing stress on the valve stem when she engages the pump head to the stem.
This is a must buy for any cyclist. It's always a pain when I am pumping air into my tires, but there is always a mini fight to get the tire pump head on. Ever since using the new air pump from Radian, it's never a hassle anymore! Def worth the purchase!
Been looking for pump like this for years. Super efficient on deeper rims. Often times strughle attaching to tube, this solved it
After finally getting super frustrated with my "shop grade" (blue) pump head, I asked for this for Christmas, and couldn't be more pleased. No more frustration trying to find the perfect angle to get a good seal. It "just works."
Also pleased this works so well I've lost all urge to get one of the fancy new stem systems.
Nice touches inluded, like a variety of adapters, teflon tape for installation, and a nice wall mount.
I was a little skeptical at first, but I have used it 5 or 6 times already and, I really love it. It is so easy to use. The old way was a real pain in the ass. I give you five STARS keep up the good work. I will spread the word.
The Zilch RF-S pump met all my expectations from day one. Build quality is excellent, with a solid, well-engineered feel from first use with the easy on/easy off pump head being the star attraction.
Overall, the pump combines thoughtful design with reliable, user-friendly operation
I LOVE the valve head on this. So much easier to engage and stable than traditional designs, especially on deep rims with a limited amount of valve stem available. Other than when mounting tubeless which I’ll still use my Charger for, this is the only track pump I use now. Polymer base is a little bit convex but stands fine and seems strong enough. More importantly, amazing service and customer focus from Radian after there was a shipping issue out of their control.
