(In his best infomercial voice) Are you tired of blowing your arms out, pumping your tires, and adjusting tire pressure trail side with an old-school pocket pump? Are you embarrassed that other riders on the cafe ride will notice you pulling a non-motorized (gasp!) pump from your jersey pocket? Save your arms for high-fives and stage dives with the all-new Muc-Off AirMach Electric Mini Inflator!

Muc-Off AirMach Electric Mini Inflator – What is it?

On a serious note, the new AirMach Electric Mini Inflator from Muc-Off looks pretty cool and is super compact. Plus, who wouldn’t like to save some time airing up after a flat or riding home from the trails?

The Muc-Off AirMach Electric Mini Inflator is a compact (64x56x28mm) mini-electric pump for trail or road side inflation. 

How much does it weigh? Muc-Off claims it weighs 97g (114g with the silicone case) and will inflate two tires to 100psi, making it a versatile road and off-road inflation tool.  

Muc-Off AirMach Features 

The construction of the Muc-Off AirMach is fully alloy and contains a brushless motor. The motor runs on a 300mAh lithium-ion battery that fully recharges in 25 minutes via USB-C.

The USB-C port doubles as the air intake to reduce the unit’s complexity and weight. Thanks to Muc-Off’s protective silicone case (included), the AirMach is safe and secure from drops. 

“At Muc-Off, we continuously seek to develop products that improve the cycling experience. The AirMach Electric Mini Inflator embodies our drive to innovate and serve the evolving needs of our fans. It’s designed to help riders get back to the action as fast as possible with minimal effort.”

Alex Trimnell, CEO of Muc-Off.

Will the AirMach Work for My Bike? 

Muc-Offs AirMach is compatible with Presta and Schrader valves, making it easy to use on different bikes. If you’d like to add some length to the AirMach, Muc-Off also offers an upgraded AirHose (Sold separately) for tight-to-reach places and smaller wheels like kids’ bikes. 

Does it have a pressure gauge? No – and if you care about that, you might need to look outside the Muc-Off inflator assortment. 

Pricing – Muc-Off AirMach

  • Price: £90 / €105 / $115 
  • AirHose extension: £5 / €8 / $8

Both are now available globally from the Muc-Off global dealer network, selected e-retailers, and directly from Muc-off.com.

Looks quite a lot like the Cycplus AS2, only with different cosmetics.

Looks like the device that got me into cycling, a breathalyzer.

I want one! Would love to stop throwing away empty CO2 cartridges.

I have the Rock Brothers version of this. Can not recommend this type of pump enough. About 3 CO2 in size and will fill up 2 45mm gravel tires on a single charge.

I paid 20 bucks for mine on Ali. Works a treat. Take that pump instead of two co2 carts now.

Used a version of this in the past, the unit got quite hot….anyone know how this might impact the TPU plastic inflation stem integrity? Also, does this unit get so hot that the silicone cover is actually to protect hands from the heat the motor generates….and as an added perk it’s to “protect it from impacts”?

With the Cycplus units, that’s what the short extension hose is for. The hose is meant to insulate the TPU tube’s plastic valve stem enough from the inflator’s heat.

What’s strange to me is that Muc-off don’t include this extension hose standard. Cycplus does.

For those of you that have this or its cousins: How do you carry this aboard the bike?

It’s kind of too bulky for a tool roll-style saddle bag, and I wouldn’t want to carry this in a jersey pocket. I don’t think any of them offer a way of mounting it on the bike like you would a mini pump or frame pump either.

Currently carrying mine in my top tube bag but I was wondering if others had better carry options.

I like my option best: My wife schlepps it around for us in a full-function tool kit on her ebike rack!

Can also be used to remove Muc-Off dry lube from the chain.

No pressure gauge unlikely AS2 for the same money and greater capacity

AS2 Pro and AS2 Pro Max have the pressure gauge. The base AS2 doesn’t.

Is it so inconvenient to use a manual pump to inflate a bike tire?!? Do we really need another “do-not-move-a-muscle” device? And what about the “environmental friendly” lithium battery that needs to be recharged?
Such a great idea!

Was thinking the same. And will only inflate 2 tires. My pocket rocket inflates an infinite number of tires, maybe a minute or 2 slower using good old elbow grease, takes up little room or weight.

Tell me you’ve never had to fix a flat in 90+ degree summer weather at +60% humidity without telling me you’ve ever had to do so…

For those of us who can’t use frame pumps or would like the convienence of not stroking a mini-pump looking like a dunce for several, agonizing minutes whilst broiling our brains on the side of the road on a hot, sunny, humid day, this product sounds wonderful.

Cool product.i keep my tires at around 45p.s.i. . That means that I could fill 4 tires with this device and have 20 p.s.i.(s)to spare. I used to carry extra spare tube’s and even an entire floor pump in my back pack when I would go long distance bicycling.
