Daysaver IncredibleX & Pump40HV Review: Lab & Trail Tested

James Moore · 2026-06-12

Integrated bike storage is one of the hottest trends in cycling right now. With the IncredibleX multitool and Incredible Pump40HV, Daysaver gives you a way to keep your essential tools hidden away and out of sight. We put this system through its paces in both lab and trail conditions to see how it really performs. ### Incredible Pump40HV: Small Pump, Big Features Pack size drove every design decision for the Incredible Pump40HV. At just 4.9 inches long, it slips into a jersey pocket, a frame bag, or the chest pocket of an EVOC Hydro Pro without any fuss. Yet it still delivers a 40 cc stroke volume, which is more than enough for most trailside fixes. The optional hose is the real standout detail. It screws onto the valve but releases cleanly when you disconnect it. That means no more yanking the valve core out, a maddening problem with most screw-on systems. This pump doubles as a storage housing for extra Daysaver tools. You can also mount it to a bottle cage or tool mount with an optional bracket. But ergonomics? They could be better. The pump cap has a square-edged shape that digs into your palm when you're inflating tires to higher pressures, especially on road bikes. It gets uncomfortable fast. The removable hose prevents any loss of air, and one of the tools from the Incredible range fits right inside the pump body. ### IncredibleX: L-Shaped Design for Better Access Let's get one thing straight: the IncredibleX is being replaced by the Incredible8. They're basically identical, except for the 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 can keep the flexibility. But for most riders, the lower price is the bigger draw: the Incredible8 costs $20 less than the old model. When you unfold it, the IncredibleX has a unique L-shaped design that sets it apart from standard folding multitools. This layout gives you better access to bolts that traditional tools struggle to reach. Leverage is excellent, especially when you're loosening pedals with the 8 mm hex key. The bits and bit holders are easy to swap, even with gloves on. ### Storage Flexibility: The System's Superpower Storage flexibility is where this system really shines. The tool mounts inside your handlebar using adjustable end plugs that expand mechanically, not just with friction. That makes removal cleaner than most options. Or you can stash it inside the pump body. Either way, it stays rattle-free. A OneUp steerer mount works just as well. But here's the 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 on the trail. ### Final Thoughts on the Daysaver Multitool The IncredibleX and Incredible Pump40HV make a strong case for riders who want clean, integrated carry. You get modular compatibility, solid spare parts support, and build quality that justifies the price tag. The L-shaped layout gives you access advantages that a straight tool just can't match. Is it perfect? No. The price is an honest obstacle. But if you're willing to absorb it, you get a system engineered with care and calibrated for daily trail use. **Pros:** - Clean workmanship and premium material quality - Versatile integration options: handlebars, pumps, and various tool mounts - Excellent leverage for tough bolts **Cons:** - Bits can break if not fully seated - Pump cap is uncomfortable at higher pressures - Pricey compared to basic tools
