Overview

How does the SILCA Elettrico Ultimate set exact pressure?

The SILCA Elettrico Ultimate is a USB-C rechargeable electric inflator with a 3 to 100psi settable digital gauge accurate to 1% when used with the hose. Like the Micro it uses a battery-powered pump rather than CO2 cartridges, delivering the equivalent of 9 cartridges from a single charge. The difference is the gauge: you dial in a precise target pressure and the Ultimate auto-stops when it hits the number. SILCA designed it as a floor pump replacement you can carry with you on a ride. SILCA has even used it to seat tubeless tires, depending on the tire and rim combination.

At 222g and 81 by 60 by 32mm it is larger than the Micro and still fits in both SILCA Mattone bags, and it charges in 25 to 60 minutes over USB-C. It works directly on Presta valves, includes a threaded hose that works as a Schrader adapter, and works with SILCA Schradero and Hiro chucks. It is TSA-compliant and carry-on travel safe, and is covered by the SILCA Limited Warranty against manufacturing defects for 2 years. For riders who know their road number and their gravel number and want to hit them exactly, roadside or in the garage, this replaces both the cartridges and the floor pump.
