Daysaver IncredibleX & Pump40HV Review: Lab Tested

Robert Wilson · 2026-06-12

Integrated bike storage is one of the biggest trends in cycling right now, and for good reason. Nobody wants to carry a bulky bag or have tools rattling around in their pockets. Daysaver aims to solve that with their IncredibleX multitool and Incredible Pump40HV. We took this system into the lab and out on the trail to see if it lives up to the hype. ### The Pump40HV: Small but Mighty Pack size drove every decision with the Incredible Pump40HV. At just under 5 inches long, it slides into a jersey pocket, a frame bag, or even 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 a pump this compact. The standout feature here is the optional hose. It screws onto the valve but releases cleanly when you disconnect. That might sound like a small thing, but if you've ever used a screw-on pump that yanks the valve core out when you pull it off, you know how frustrating that can be. This pump doesn't do that. - Fits almost anywhere: jersey pocket, frame bag, or hydration pack - 40 cc stroke volume in a 5-inch package - Hose releases without pulling the valve core The pump also doubles as a storage housing for other Daysaver tools, and you can mount it to a bottle cage or tool mount with an optional bracket. That's clever. But there's a trade-off: the pump cap has a sharp, square edge. When you're inflating tires to higher pressures, especially on road bikes, it digs into your palm. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's uncomfortable. ### IncredibleX: The L-Shaped Advantage Let's talk about the multitool. The IncredibleX is being replaced by the Incredible8, but they're essentially the same tool with different bits. The IncredibleX uses two-piece bits, while the Incredible8 uses one-piece versions. The two-piece bits will still be available separately, so you get flexibility. But for most riders, the price difference will matter more: the Incredible8 costs about $22 less than the IncredibleX. What sets the IncredibleX apart is its L-shaped design. When unfolded, it looks different from your typical folding multitool. That shape gives you better leverage and lets you reach bolts that a straight tool can't get to. It's especially noticeable when loosening pedals with the 8 mm hex key. The bits are easy to swap, even with gloves on. ### Storage and a Critical Weakness Storage flexibility is where this system shines. The tool mounts inside your handlebar using adjustable end plugs that expand mechanically. No more relying on friction alone. It stays rattle-free. You can also store it inside the pump body or use a OneUp steerer mount. It works well in all configurations. But here's the catch: during testing, one of the bits broke. The modular pin-and-magnet connection is sensitive. If you don't fully seat the bit in the holder, it can fail under load. That's a serious issue for a tool meant to be reliable on the trail. ### Final Thoughts The Daysaver system is for riders who value clean, integrated carry. The build quality is excellent, the spare parts support is solid, and the L-shaped design genuinely improves access. But the price is steep. If you're willing to pay for it, you get a well-engineered system that works well for daily trail use. Just make sure those bits are fully seated before you put any weight on them.
