Topeak JoeBlow Mountain EX

If you’ve ever stood there pumping away at a mountain bike tyre with a regular floor pump, you know the struggle, it can feel like a million strokes and barely any progress. That’s where the Topeak JoeBlow Mountain EX comes in, and honestly, it makes life things much easier.

This pump is made specifically for mountain and fat bike tyres, so it’s all about high volume, not high pressure. The barrel is extra wide, which means you get loads of air with each pump. It seriously cuts down the effort and time it takes to inflate big tyres, a couple of quick strikes and you’re good to go. It’s one of those things you don’t realise you needed until you use it.

The gauge is also a big win, it’s large, easy to read, and sits high on the barrel so you don’t have to crouch or squint. It is calibrated for lower pressures (up to 75 psi), and it’s accurate for MTB setups, which is great if you’re trying to dial in that sweet spot for trail grip.

The TwinHead design is super handy too. No faffing around with adapters, it works with both Presta and Schrader valves straight out of the box, and it fits snugly without leaking. The hose is a decent length with a swivel at the base, so it’s flexible enough to use comfortably whether your bike is on a rack or the floor.
Build-wise, it feels solid. Topeak’s known for making durable gear, and this pump is no different, sturdy steel barrel, wide base provides stability but is made of plastic, the nicely padded handle that doesn’t dig into your palms.

The only catch? It’s not for high-pressure tyres, so if you ride road bikes too, you’ll probably want a different pump for that. But for mountain bikes, gravel, or anything chunky, this thing’s a beast.

In short, the JoeBlow Mountain EX does exactly what it promises, it makes inflating big tyres faster, easier, and efficiently. A worthwhile addition to your garage. RRP £32.99
