About Silca Few brands have been more intimately connected to the last 100 years of cycling than Silca. The Italian-born brand's legacy of legendary quality has seen company's pumps being passed down through generations of professional mechanics & cycling enthusiasts
- riders who value the experience of bike maintenance & understand its performance value. Now based in the US, Silca's heirloom quality pumps have been joined by a growing selection of thoughtfully designed & stylish accessories. Call it mini if you may, but we prefer to think of it as an Impero Frame Pump sized to fit your pocket. Using the same ergonomically perfect, full CNC Aluminum head from the Impero, brass check valve shared with the Impero & Super Pista, & steam formed 3mm thick Leather gasket from Milan as the Impero, the Pocket Impero changes the game as the first full metal, fully functional Pocket Pump. However, it was not enough to just shrink the Impero & Pocket Impero adds some impressive technology of its own. The unique Slide-Lock Silicone Insulating sleeve both improves grip while protecting hands from the heat of pumping to high pressures (another issue for 'mini' pumps) & when finished, slides back into place to double as a handle lock when in your pocket. Mirror honed internals allow for the highest pumping efficiency & lowest stroke count of any pocket (mini) pump. The result: We have you back up & running in fewer strokes, with less headache than any other...
