Just announced, the Silca Ultimate Shock Pump brings the brand’s high-quality, precision reputation to the world of suspension tuning. And with a zero-loss chuck, rotatable gauge, and a sharp, CNC-machined construction, it certainly looks promising. Find photos, specs, and details here…

Silca has long proven itself a master of its craft, and that craft is making great pumps, so it was only a matter of time before they introduced a premium shock pump. According to CEO Josh Poertner, “The Ultimate Shock Pump embodies SILCA’s relentless pursuit of perfection. We’ve meticulously engineered every detail to provide cyclists with the most precise, durable, and user-friendly shock pump on the market.” It certainly looks the part, and the mention of a zero air-loss chuck immediately piqued my interest. Find photos and a full list of specs from Silca below.

• Zero-Loss Chuck: Ensures no air escapes when connecting or disconnecting, guaranteeing precise pressure settings.
• Durable Stainless Steel Braided Hose: Built for longevity and resilience, capable of withstanding the rigors of trail riding and travel.
• High-Accuracy 2-inch Gauge with 5 PSI Graduations: Provides clear, easy-to-read measurements, allowing for simple approximation of 2.5 PSI changes.
• Rotating Gauge: Designed for optimal viewing angles, reducing shadows and eliminating the need to stop and re-check pressure. 
• Ergonomic Ambidextrous Design: Ensures comfortable and intuitive use for all riders.
• Optimized Total Pump Length: Delivers improved efficiency during inflation while maintaining excellent packability for on-the-go adjustments.
• Premium CNC Machined Build: Guarantees smooth, silent operation and exceptional durability.

Silca also mentioned that the typical failure point on all almost all shock pumps is at the gauge since common shock pumps on the market use the gauge as a holding point. This isn’t a problem I’ve ever had to contend with, but it’s an interesting point. The Silca Ultimate Shock Pump protects the gauge with a CNC ergonomic hand hold and a rotatable gauge while in use.

The Silca Ultimate Shock Pump sells for $125 and is available online or at Silca retailers. Find further details in the launch video above or at Silca.cc.
