If you needed reminding of the booming gravel scene, and the increasing specialisation of products that brings, Silca has launched its first gravel-specific mini-pump.<\/p>\n

Taking cues from Silca\u2019s Tattico road mini-pump, the Gravelero is an all-aluminium mini-pump, forgoing the use of plastic. In the past, Silca has said the use of metal avoids any issue with plastic overheating while inflating a tyre, before the maximum pressure is reached.<\/p>\n

Like the Tattico, the hose is retractable to allow for easier inflation at tight angles. In its closed form, the pump is said to be 243mm in length.<\/p>\n

The pump uses the brand\u2019s tried-and-tested thumb-lock, reversible-chuck head. Silca claims the Gravelero pushes 35 per cent more air for the same overall length, compared to the Tattico.<\/p>\n

Silca says the design has been further refined for gravel and off-road use with a smoother outer texture, to make for easy cleaning. The sealing is also said to be improved to protect the pump against dirt and mud.<\/p>\n
