Daysaver IncredibleX & Pump40HV: Lab & Trail Tested

Robert Wilson · 2026-06-12

Integrated bike storage is one of the biggest trends in cycling right now. With the IncredibleX multitool and Incredible Pump40HV, Daysaver offers a smart solution for riders who want to keep essential tools tucked away and out of sight. We put this system through its paces in the lab and on the trail to see how it really performs, where it shines, and where it falls short. ### Compact Pump, Clever Details Pack size drove every decision in the design of the Incredible Pump40HV. At just 4.9 inches long, it slips easily into a jersey pocket, frame bag, or the chest pocket of an EVOC Hydro Pro without a fuss. Despite its small size, it delivers a 40 cc stroke volume, meaning you can get your tires back up to pressure without spending forever pumping. The optional hose is the real standout feature here. It screws onto the valve but is engineered to release cleanly when you disconnect it. That solves one of the most annoying problems with screw-on pumps: pulling the valve core out along with the pump. No more hissing air and frustrated swearing on the trail. 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. But ergonomics? They could be better. The pump cap has a pretty square-edged shape, and when you're inflating tires to higher pressures, especially on road bikes, it digs into your palm. That makes it uncomfortable and harder to use when you need it most. - Length: 4.9 inches - Stroke volume: 40 cc - Optional hose prevents valve core pull-out - Doubles as tool storage - Can be mounted to bottle cage ### IncredibleX: L-Shaped Design for Better Access One thing up front: the IncredibleX is being replaced by the Incredible8. The two models are basically identical, differing only in the bits they include. The IncredibleX uses two-piece bits, while the Incredible8 uses one-piece versions. The two-piece bits will still be available separately, offering maximum flexibility. For most riders, though, the lower price is the bigger draw: the Incredible8 costs about $22 less than the previous model. When unfolded, the IncredibleX stands out from conventional folding multitools with its unique L-shaped design. That layout improves access to bolts that traditional tools struggle to reach. Leverage is excellent, which becomes really noticeable when loosening pedals with the 8 mm hex key. The bits and bit holders are also designed for easy handling and can be swapped effortlessly, even while wearing gloves. > "The L-shaped design gives you leverage you just don't get with a straight tool." Storage flexibility is the system's standout quality. The tool mounts inside the handlebar via adjustable end plugs that expand mechanically rather than relying on friction alone. That makes removal cleaner than most. 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 there's a catch. During testing, one of the bits broke. The modular pin-and-magnet connection is sensitive to incorrect installation. Bits that aren't fully seated in the holder can fail under load. So you need to be careful when setting it up. ### Final Thoughts on the Daysaver System The IncredibleX and Incredible Pump40HV make a compelling case for riders who prioritize clean, integrated carry. You get modular compatibility, thorough spare parts support, and build quality that justifies the asking price. The L-shaped layout adds genuine access advantages that a straight tool just can't match. The price is the honest obstacle. At roughly $100 for the pump and $60 for the tool, it's not cheap. But those willing to absorb it get a system engineered with care and calibrated for daily trail use. If you value a clean cockpit and hate rattling tools, this is worth a serious look.
