Product Information
Full details
The Topeak Race Rocket HP is a precision-engineered mini pump designed for road cyclists who require high pressure and compact portability. It excels at reaching tire pressures of up to 160 psi with a narrow barrel that optimizes efficiency, though its slim design means it takes more strokes to inflate a tire compared to high-volume mountain bike pumps.

FAQs
Does this pump work with Schrader valves?
Yes, the pump features a SmartHead ThreadLock system and includes an integrated adapter in the base for Schrader valves.
Can I mount this on my bike frame?
Yes, the product includes a side-mount bracket that attaches to standard water bottle cage bosses on your bicycle frame.
What is the maximum pressure?
The Race Rocket HP is rated for up to 160 psi, making it ideal for high-pressure road bike tires.
How long is the pump?
It is 18cm long, making it compact enough to fit inside a jersey pocket or a small saddle bag.
Does the hose come off?
The hose is permanently attached to the head but is designed to extend out during use and retract back into the pump body for storage.
Troubleshooting
Pump is difficult to thread onto the valve
Ensure the valve core is fully tightened and the pump head is aligned straight before rotating the locking mechanism.
Air leaking during inflation
Check that the hose is fully extended and that the internal rubber gasket is seated properly in the valve head.
Stiff pumping action
The pump seals may need light lubrication; unscrew the handle, apply a small amount of chain oil to the seal, and reassemble.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight and portable at 78g
- High pressure capacity up to 160 psi
- Extendable hose protects valve stems from damage
- High-quality CNC machined aluminium finish
Cons
- Narrow barrel requires more strokes for high-volume tires
- Designed primarily for road bikes, not ideal for wide mountain tires
- Valve adapter is small and could be lost if not stored carefully
Setup, Compatibility & Care
The pump is compatible with both Presta and Schrader valves using the included adapter stored in the base. To install the side mount bracket, use the provided hardware to attach it to your frame's water bottle cage mounts. For care, keep the barrel clean and occasionally apply a drop of lightweight bicycle lubricant to the internal seals to maintain smooth operation. Always ensure the dust cap is secured after each use to keep road grit out of the valve head mechanism.
