There's two track pumps now which are rated to 260psi and a third which is rated to 300psi

Topeak Joe Blow Ace Track Pump @ 260psi @ £74

Genuine innovations Campione High Pressure Track Pump @ 260psi @ £54

Airace Infinity AS Aluminium Shock and Track Pump @ 300psi @ £70

All of them are very expensive as far as track pumps go, in fact they are about 1/3 - 1/2 of the cost of a 300 bar PCP pump.


But they'll push a much higher volume per stroke than a 300 bar pump so if your pressure requirement is only a few hundred psi you'll find it easier and faster.

Saw an amusing review on the 300psi one.

Apparently it has such a large range on the gauge it kinda sucks if what you actually want is 30psi in your tyres.

With that in mind it's interesting that such high pressure track pumps exist, can only be so many people who think it's a great idea to have an expensive giant shock pump which is way worse than a much cheaper 160psi pump when it comes to something along the lines of filling your car tyres to 36psi.

Not only is the resolution of the gauge insufficient, it's bottom mounted too.

I suggest using a emergency car pump. Their only $20 where I live and run on 12 VDC. They also sell ones with a battery integrated in if it's portability you want. These will get you up to about 300psi and flow is OK

I don't they are notorious for braking down very quickly, they have a poor duty cycle and require a long time in between fills to cool down. The can reach 300psi but only a few times, in reality they are made to fill car tires that only need 50-70psi.

Typical fill pressure for a car tyre is 25-35 psi ;)

Last I checked walmart has zefal-air track pumps for $20. They're not bad quality for the price though I think I'm going to replace the grip on mine with something sturdier.
They'll go a bit over 200psi if you put some weight into it.
