”You’ll hardly notice it’s there, yet it packs a punch.”
This statement on the Cycplus website is actually a perfect summary of what’s great about this product. It’s an impressive piece of tech that inflates tyres really well. And it is compact and lightweight.
I’ve reviewed the other bike pumps that Cyclplus make. I was seriously impressed by how much better they are at inflating bicycle tyres than a manual pump.
The AS2 Ultra is their latest model. The main difference with the other models is the weight. The ultra is only 87 g. That’s 33 g less than the AS2 Pro model. Despite the weight reduction this pump has the same excellent features. Fast tyre inflation and and a pressure gauge.
It’s true that you hardly notice the Ultra when holding it in your hands or carrying it in a back pocket.
- it only takes 25 minutes to charge it with a USB cable
- on one charge it can inflate 2 700C28 tyres to 80 PSI
- it can inflate a tyre to 120 PSI in 120 seconds
- it has a gauge so you can control how much pressure you want to put in the tyre
- its faster and more efficient than a manual pump
- it can be used with both Presta and Schrader valves
Although electric pumps cost a lot more than manual pumps you are getting a brilliant piece of kit. At the press of a button the electric pump will inflate your tyre to the correct pressure and then automatically stop. You don’t need to do anything.
With a manual pump it takes longer and you are constantly stopping to check the tyre pressure is adequate.
The AS2 Ultra is easy to use:
- charge it using the USB cable
- set the tyre pressure on the screen using the plus and minus buttons
- attach the AS2 Ultra to the tyre valve using the hose or hold it in place if not using the hose
- turn it on and it starts to inflate the tyre
- when it reaches the pressure that you set it will stop inflating
