ZERO
QUICKHEAD FORCE
Description
Quick Head Force; The industry’s
smallest and lightest cupped inflator. Works with Zero threaded and
non-threaded CO2 cartridges. Simple and easy controllable tire
inflation. Drop the CO2 cartridge into the cup, screw on the head,
attach to valve stem and push forward to start airflow. You’ll be back
to your ride in no time!
Made in USA
One 16gram canister will fill:
2 20" tyres to 40psi
2 26" tyres to 30psi
1 700C tyre to 130psi
I have been testing Zero’s new Quick
Head Force tyre inflator. I particularly like this one because of its
ability to retain pressure after it has been used. With the normal QuickHead, once you have pierced the cartridge you might as well use the
whole thing, as within a couple of hours, it will have lost all the CO2.
This is not really an issue for road bikes as you will generally use the
whole cartridge in one tyre anyway. But for mountain bike use where you
are generally able to get two tyres out of each cartridge, this ability
to hold pressure is a huge benefit. I have used it to inflate one tyre
out on the trail, thrown it back into the Camelback and left it there
for a month before needing to use it again. Much to my surprise, it
still had enough CO2 left in it to fill another tyre. Another great
feature of this particular inflator is the trigger action which allows
you to completely control the flow of CO2 going into the tyre. Normal
Quick Head inflators can be tricky to regulate the flow. The locking
mechanism on the trigger is another handy item, as you don’t need to
worry about the trigger accidentally being knocked and going off when you
don’t want it to. All in all, I’ve been very impressed with the new Zero
Quickhead Force and would not hesitate recommend it, especially to the
mountain bikers amongst us.
