Pros and cons
Topeak JoeBlow Sport III
Pros
- SmartHead DX3 head auto-fits Presta and Schrader with no switching
- Large 76 mm gauge on the base — readable while pumping
- TwinTurn TPR handle stays comfortable even at high pressure
- Excellent balance of price, stroke volume and finish
Cons
- Plastic cylinder and base — not as timeless as an all-steel pump
- The head can leak air if you pull it off at the wrong angle
Topeak RaceRocket HP
Pros
- Aluminium cylinder — solid and durable for the class
- SmartHead Upper: no toggle for Presta/Schrader
- Reaches 11 bar (160 psi) realistically on road tyres
- Comfortable T-handle that folds out of the body
Cons
- Narrow bore means more strokes than the Lezyne Micro Floor Drive
- No hose: pumping directly on the valve risks bending it
