Indianapolis, IN – April 22nd, 2025 – SILCA, a leading innovator in cycling pumps, tools, and chain wax/lubricants, today announced the global launch of its highly anticipated Elettrico Micro and Elettrico Ultimate electric pumps. These ultra-compact and powerful pumps are set to redefine on-the-go inflation for cyclists worldwide, offering unparalleled convenience and performance for unexpected flats and routine tire pressure adjustments.  

Please note: Due to the significant impact of current United States tariff policies on imported goods, these products are not economically viable for sale within the US market currently. This unfortunately means that SILCA's largest historical market will not have immediate access to these groundbreaking pumps. SILCA remains hopeful that these trade barriers will be resolved in the future to allow US cyclists access to the Elettrico series.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Micro Size, Macro Performance, Floor Pump Replacing Power: The Elettrico's miniature design redefines portability without compromising power. Slip it into your jersey pocket or Mattone saddlebag and hit the road. Flying to any destination gravel events just got way easier with floor pump power able to fit in your pocket.   
  • Fast and Effortless Inflation: With a powerful motor (same style motors used in drones) the Silca Elettrico’s inflate tires rapidly, getting you back in the saddle or out of the garage in about 30 seconds.  
  • Digital Precision: The Elettrico Ultimate features a clear digital display showing real-time pressure readings accurate to ~1%. Easily set your desired pressure (3-100psi) with the touch of a button and achieve perfect inflation every time. Whereas the Micro has a gauge-less design that will automatically cut off at 72 psi (the max pressure for today's hookless rims.) Ensuring safe inflation for expensive parts. Think of the micro more as replacing co2.  
  • Versatility for All Riders: Whether you're a road cyclist, mountain biker, or gravel rider, the Elettrico is compatible with Presta and Schrader valves, plus it is compatible with any Silca Chuck like the Schradero and Hiro Chuck  
  • Long-Lasting Battery: The Elettrico's high-capacity, USB-C rechargeable battery provides enough power to inflate multiple tires on a single charge, ensuring you're never left stranded. The Ultimate is equal to 9+ co2 cartridges and charges in about an hour, whereas the Micro is equivalent to 3+ co2 cartridges and charges in 20 minutes.  
  • Big Power Lesser Noise: Designed specifically for noise and vibration reduction the Elettrico comes in about 4db-8db (with chuck added) lower than the rest. When a chuck is added it's even lower. 
  • Durable and Reliable: Built with SILCA's renowned commitment to quality, the Elettrico is crafted from custom extruded and CNC machined aluminum to withstand the rigors of cycling adventures, all while dampen noise and dissipate heat.
