Und wie bekommt man Luft in die Fahrradreifen? Richtig: Mit einer Rahmenpumpe, Minipumpe, Mini-Minipumpe, CO2-Pumpe, elektrischen Luftpumpe oder Standpumpe. Oder aber, ihr greift zur SILCA SuperPista "HIRO Edition".``````Whether Tubular, Clincher, or Tubeless - all tire types have one thing in common: They require the right air pressure to provide an optimal balance of traction, grip, comfort, rolling resistance, and puncture protection.
And how do you get air into the bicycle tires? Correct: With a frame pump, mini pump, mini-mini pump, CO2 pump, electric air pump, or floor pump. Or, you could opt for the SILCA SuperPista "HIRO Edition".
Zwar zählt die SuperPista ebenfalls zur Gattung der Fahrrad-Standpumpen, ist aber deutlich mehr. Diese Pumpe bedeutet die Wiedergeburt der Marke Silca und verbindet handgearbeitete Tradition mit den geringsten Toleranzen, die jemals in einer Fahrradpumpe realisiert wurden. Sie ist die Deepsea Challenge unter den stationären Vertretern mit Manometer, ist ein echtes Statement und zählt zu den Dingen, die es eigentlich gar nicht geben dürfte.
Pressure, an unchangeable force of nature
The Making Of
Die SuperPista Ultimate HIRO Edition combines high-tech materials with traditional ones, making it both a classic and forward-looking masterpiece.
A vacuum-cast base made of zinc forms the foundation. The sturdy base alone almost weighs as much as some other floor pumps. With the 3 rubber pads, originally designed for high-quality furniture pieces, the Ultimate is guaranteed not to slip - whether on wood, marble, or slate. Additionally, the base is very flat, so you can operate the pump with casual shoes as well as cycling shoes with cleats, without having to worry about slipping.
Sure, here is the translated text:```The pump shaft is made of PTFE-hard-coated 7005 aluminum and glides with minimal play and maximum smoothness through a guide produced by the company Igus. The same level of refinement continues with the handle. For the most important interface between pump and rider, the Americans were inspired by high-quality Japanese kitchen knives and crafted an ergonomic unit from finely cast steel and hand-turned amaranth or violet wood.
Of course, no expense was spared with the hose, which was originally designed as a brake line for motorsports and aviation. Its sheath is made of Teflon, braided in a stainless steel mesh, and finally coated with an aesthetically pleasing and protective red urethane finish. It can rotate freely under pressure at both ends and is supposed to withstand well over 800 bar.
The particularly durable seals made of leather inside the pump, as well as the solid check valve made of brass, have been sourced from the same supplier in Italy since 1946, rounding off this extraordinary design.
Conversion of pressure into an extremely valuable energy

Sure, here is the translated text while keeping the tags and line breaks:```Trotz aller Detailverliebtheit repräsentiert die SuperPista in erster Linie ein höchst exaktes Spezialwerkzeug für Profis. Das unterstreicht Silca mit dem optisch hochwertigen Manometer, das die Druckregulierung mit einer Genauigkeit von ±1% (der Industriestandard liegt lediglich bei ±5%) erlaubt. Das mechanische Manometer wurde einzeln geprüft und nummeriert und lässt sich bei Bedarf innerhalb weniger Minuten auswechseln.
Der spezielle im Lieferumfang enthaltene Hiro High-Pressure-Pumpenkopf V.2 für französische Ventile wurde zusätzlich für die Verwendung an Scheibenrädern optimiert. Er ist superschnell und mit nur einer Hand verwendbar und hält, dank einer Hightech-Dichtung 252 Viton (Elastomer) von Dupont, bis über 20 bar stand.
Selbstverständlich besteht für die SuperPista Ultimate SILCAs Shield-Gewährleistung: 25 Jahre Garantie für alle Schäden durch normalen Gebrauch und "no fault - no questions asked" Reparatur- oder Ersatz-Garantie für alle Schäden innerhalb der ersten sechs Monate nach dem Kauf.```Here is the English translation:```Despite all the attention to detail, the SuperPista primarily represents a highly precise specialized tool for professionals. Silca emphasizes this with the visually high-quality manometer, which allows pressure regulation with an accuracy of ±1% (the industry standard is only ±5%). The mechanical manometer has been individually tested and numbered and can be replaced within a few minutes if necessary.
The special Hiro High-Pressure Pump Head V.2 included in the delivery for French valves has also been optimized for use with disc wheels. It is super fast and can be used with just one hand, and thanks to a high-tech seal 252 Viton (Elastomer) from Dupont, it withstands over 20 bar.
Of course, the SuperPista Ultimate comes with SILCA's Shield Warranty: 25 years warranty for all damages from normal use and a "no fault - no questions asked" repair or replacement warranty for all damages within the first six months after purchase.
