Daysaver IncredibleX & Pump40HV: Lab Tested

Jennifer Miller · 2026-06-12

Integrated bike storage is one of the hottest trends in cycling right now. With the IncredibleX multitool and Incredible Pump40HV, Daysaver gives you a way to stash essential tools neatly out of sight. We put this system through its paces in both lab and trail conditions to see how it really performs. ### Incredible Pump40HV: Small but Clever Pack size was the main focus when Daysaver designed the Incredible Pump40HV. At just under 5 inches long, it fits easily in a jersey pocket, frame bag, or even the chest pocket of an EVOC Hydro Pro. Despite its tiny size, it delivers a 40 cc stroke volume. The optional hose is a standout feature: it screws onto the valve but releases cleanly when you disconnect it. That means no more pulling the valve core out, which is a common headache with screw-on pumps. - Fits almost anywhere: jersey pocket, frame bag, or chest pocket - 40 cc stroke volume in a compact package - Removable hose prevents air loss and valve core issues The pump also doubles as storage for other Daysaver tools. You can mount it to a bottle cage or tool mount with an optional bracket. But there's a catch: the pump cap has a square edge that digs into your palm when you're inflating tires to higher pressures, especially on road bikes. It's uncomfortable and makes the job harder than it should be. ### IncredibleX: L-Shaped Design for Better Access First, a heads-up: the IncredibleX is being replaced by the Incredible8. They're almost identical, except the bits. The IncredibleX uses two-piece bits, while the Incredible8 has one-piece versions. The two-piece bits will still be available separately for maximum flexibility. But for most riders, the lower price will be the bigger draw: the Incredible8 costs about $22 less than the previous model. When unfolded, the IncredibleX has a unique L-shaped design. This layout makes it easier to reach bolts that traditional folding multitools struggle with. The leverage is excellent, especially when you're loosening pedals with the 8 mm hex key. The bits and holders are easy to swap, even with gloves on. > "The L-shaped design ensures excellent leverage and makes it easy to reach awkwardly positioned bolts." Storage flexibility is where this system really shines. The tool mounts inside your handlebar using adjustable end plugs that expand mechanically, so it doesn't rely on friction alone. That makes removal cleaner than most options. You can also stash it inside the pump body, and in either setup, it stays rattle-free. A OneUp steerer mount works just as well. But we did run into a problem during testing: one of the bits broke. The modular pin-and-magnet connection is sensitive to incorrect installation. If the bits aren't fully seated in the holder, they can fail under load. ### Final Verdict on the Daysaver System The IncredibleX and Incredible Pump40HV make a strong case for riders who want clean, integrated storage. Modular compatibility, solid spare parts support, and build quality that justifies the price are the big selling points. The L-shaped design gives you real access advantages that a straight tool can't match. But the price is the honest obstacle. If you're willing to pay it, you get a system engineered with care and built for daily trail use. Just make sure you seat those bits properly.
