Silca Hiro V3

The Hiro V3 is designed to thread onto most standard floor pump hoses. It replaces your current pump head, so as long as your hose has a standard threaded connection, it should integrate seamlessly.

Standard press-on heads rely on friction, which can slip or leak at high pressures. The Hiro V3 uses a mechanical side-lever locking mechanism that clamps securely onto the valve, ensuring a consistent, leak-free seal even when you are inflating to high pressures.

No, the Hiro V3 is specifically engineered for Presta valves. It is optimized for the precision required by track cyclists and triathletes who primarily use Presta-equipped wheels.

The 252 compound is a specialized material chosen for its superior durability and grip. It resists the degradation that often causes standard rubber seals to crack or leak over time, providing a longer service life and a more reliable seal.

Yes, the side-lever design is built for one-handed operation. You simply place the chuck onto the valve and flip the lever to lock it in place, making it much easier to manage than heads that require two hands to hold and lock.
