Daysaver IncredibleX & Pump40HV Review: Lab and Trail

Integrated bike storage is a big trend. We tested Daysaver's IncredibleX multitool and Incredible Pump40HV on the trail and in the lab. The pump is compact and clever, but ergonomics could be better. The tool offers great leverage but has a bit-breaking issue.

Integrated bike storage is one of the biggest trends in cycling right now. With the Daysaver IncredibleX multitool and Incredible Pump40HV, you get a clever system that hides essential tools out of sight. We put both products through their paces in the lab and on the trail to see how they really perform. ### Daysaver IncredibleX & Incredible Pump40HV Specs The system weighs 2.9 ounces and measures 4.9 by 1.1 inches. The pump alone is 4.9 inches long, which means it fits easily into a jersey pocket, frame bag, or even the chest pocket of an EVOC Hydro Pro. It delivers a 40 cc stroke volume, which is solid for a pump this small. ### Incredible Pump40HV: Compact and Clever The pump's design is all about packability. At just under 5 inches, it's tiny. But it still moves enough air to get your tires up to pressure. The optional hose is a standout detail: it screws onto the valve but releases cleanly when you disconnect. This solves a common annoyance with screw-on pumps that pull the valve core out. The pump also doubles as a storage tube for additional Daysaver tools. You can mount it to a bottle cage or tool mount with an optional bracket. But the ergonomics aren't perfect. The pump cap has a square edge, and when you're inflating road tires to higher pressures (say, 80-100 psi), it digs into your palm. That makes it uncomfortable and harder to use. ### IncredibleX: L-Shaped Design for Better Access Here's the thing: the IncredibleX is being replaced by the Incredible8. They're nearly identical, except the IncredibleX uses two-piece bits and the Incredible8 uses one-piece bits. The two-piece bits will still be available separately, offering flexibility. But for most riders, the lower price of the Incredible8 (about $22 less) is the bigger draw. When unfolded, the IncredibleX has a distinctive L-shape. This design gives you better access to bolts that traditional straight multitools struggle to reach. The leverage is excellent, especially when loosening pedals with the 8 mm hex key. You can swap bits easily, even with gloves on. ### Storage Flexibility and a Drawback Storage flexibility is where this system really shines. The tool mounts inside your handlebar using adjustable end plugs that expand mechanically. It doesn't rely on friction alone, so removal is cleaner. You can also stash it inside the pump body. In either setup, 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. If bits aren't fully seated in the holder, they can fail under load. That's a real concern for trail use. ### Final Thoughts on the Daysaver System The IncredibleX and Incredible Pump40HV make a strong case for riders who want clean, integrated storage. The build quality is excellent, and the L-shaped layout gives you real access advantages. But the price is a hurdle. If you're willing to spend the money, you get a system that's engineered with care and ready for daily trail use. **Pros:** - Clean workmanship and premium materials - Versatile integration options (handlebars, pumps, tool mounts) - Excellent leverage from the L-shaped design **Cons:** - Bits can break if not fully seated - Pump cap digs into palm at higher pressures - Price is high compared to basic multitools
