Daysaver IncredibleX & Pump40HV Review: Integrated Bike Tools Tested

We tested the Daysaver IncredibleX multitool and Incredible Pump40HV in the lab and on the trail. This integrated bike storage system offers clever design, but has some ergonomic and durability trade-offs.

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 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. ### The Incredible Pump40HV: Small Pump, Big Ideas Every design choice in the Incredible Pump40HV starts with pack size. At just under 5 inches long, it slips into a jersey pocket, a frame bag, or the chest pocket of an EVOC Hydro Pro without a fuss. Despite its tiny size, it delivers a 40 cc stroke volume, which is impressive for such a compact pump. The real standout is the optional hose. It screws onto the valve but releases cleanly when you disconnect it. That might sound like a small detail, but anyone who has accidentally pulled the valve core out of a Presta valve with a screw-on pump knows how frustrating that can be. Daysaver engineered this to avoid that mess entirely. The pump doubles as a storage housing for additional Daysaver tools. You can also mount it to a bottle cage or tool mount using an optional bracket. But there is a trade-off: the pump cap has a square-edged shape. When you are inflating tires to higher pressures, especially on road bikes, that edge digs into your palm. It gets uncomfortable and makes the pump harder to use at high pressures. ### IncredibleX: The L-Shaped Multitool That Changes Access Before we dive in, a quick note: the IncredibleX is being replaced by the Incredible8. The two tools are nearly identical, with the main difference being the bits they include. The IncredibleX uses two-piece bits, while the Incredible8 has one-piece versions. The two-piece bits will still be available separately, so you can keep mixing and matching. But for most riders, the lower price of the Incredible8 will be the bigger draw. It costs about $22 less than the IncredibleX. When you unfold the IncredibleX, you see its signature L-shaped design. This layout gives you better access to bolts that traditional straight tools struggle to reach. The leverage is excellent, especially when you are loosening pedals with the 8 mm hex key. You can swap bits easily, even with gloves on. ### Storage Options and One Key Drawback Storage flexibility is where this system really shines. The tool mounts inside your handlebar using adjustable end plugs that expand mechanically. That means it stays put without relying on friction alone, so removal is cleaner than most other handlebar storage solutions. You can also stash it inside the pump body. 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 the bits are not fully seated in the holder, they can fail under load. It is a design that demands a little more care when setting up. ### Final Thoughts on the Daysaver System The IncredibleX and Incredible Pump40HV make a strong case for riders who want clean, integrated carry. Build quality is excellent, spare parts are available, and the L-shaped layout gives you access advantages that a straight tool just cannot match. The price is the honest obstacle. If you are willing to absorb it, you get a system engineered with care and built for daily trail use. - Clean workmanship and premium material quality - Versatile integration options: handlebars, pumps, and tool mounts - Excellent leverage thanks to the L-shaped design > "The L-shaped layout improves access to bolts that traditional tools struggle to reach." For riders who value a tidy cockpit and reliable tools, this system is worth a look. Just make sure you seat those bits properly.
