Daysaver IncredibleX & Pump40HV: Lab and Trail Tested

Jennifer Miller · 2026-06-12

Integrated bike storage is one of the biggest trends in cycling right now. With the IncredibleX multitool and the Incredible Pump40HV, Daysaver offers a smart solution for riders who want to keep essential tools tucked away and out of sight. We put both products through their paces in the lab and on the trail to see how they really perform. ### Daysaver Incredible Pump40HV: Compact and Clever Pack size was the main focus when designing the Incredible Pump40HV. At just 4.9 inches long, it easily slips into a jersey pocket, a frame bag, or the chest pocket of an EVOC Hydro Pro without any fuss. Despite its small size, it delivers a 40 cc stroke volume, which is impressive for such a compact pump. One standout feature is the optional hose. It screws onto the valve but releases neatly when disconnected. This eliminates the annoying habit of most screw-on systems that pull the valve core out with them. No more losing air when you're trying to fix a flat. The pump also doubles as a storage housing for additional Daysaver tools. You can mount it to a bottle cage or tool mount using an optional bracket. However, ergonomics could be better. The pump cap has a square-edged shape, and when inflating tires to higher pressures, especially on road bikes, it digs into your palm. This makes it uncomfortable and harder to use at high pressures. ### IncredibleX: L-Shaped Design for Better Access Let's get one thing out of the way: the IncredibleX is being replaced by the Incredible8. The two models are nearly identical, differing only in the bits they include. The IncredibleX uses two-piece bits, while the Incredible8 has one-piece versions. Two-piece bits will remain available separately for maximum flexibility. But for most riders, the lower price is the bigger draw: the Incredible8 costs about $22 less than the previous model. When unfolded, the IncredibleX stands out with its distinctive L-shaped design. This layout improves access to bolts that traditional folding multitools struggle to reach. Leverage is excellent, which is especially noticeable when loosening pedals with the 8 mm hex key. The bits and bit holders are easy to handle and can be swapped effortlessly, even while wearing gloves. ### Storage Flexibility and Performance Storage flexibility is where this system really shines. The tool mounts inside your handlebar using adjustable end plugs that expand mechanically, not just through friction. This makes removal cleaner than most systems. It can also sit inside the pump body, and in either configuration, it stays rattle-free. A OneUp steerer mount works just as well. But we did find a drawback during testing: one of the bits broke. The modular pin-and-magnet connection is sensitive to incorrect installation. If bits aren't fully seated in the holder, they can fail under load. This is something to watch out for. ### Final Thoughts on the Daysaver Multitool The IncredibleX and Incredible Pump40HV make a strong case for riders who prioritize clean, integrated carry. Modular compatibility, thorough spare parts support, and build quality that justifies the asking price are the main highlights. The L-shaped layout adds genuine access advantages that a straight tool can't match. - Clean workmanship and premium material quality - Versatile integration options including handlebars, pumps, and various tool mounts - Excellent leverage for tough bolts The price is the honest obstacle. If you're willing to absorb it, you get a system engineered with care and calibrated for daily trail use. For professionals in mountain biking events, this could be a game-changer for keeping your gear organized and accessible.
