In 2014, Silica moved production of Super Pista to Indianapolis, continuing to employ the historic Silica philosophy, but re-engineering new technologies, manufacturing methods, and processes.
We are proud to pass on to the next generation the manufacturing methods and new materials that high technology brings, combined with the natural materials and ideals of previous generations, to create a quality product. The ultimate base, created from advanced zinc die-casting, weighs as much as most frame pumps in the world, and is constructed with elastomers designed for the finest furniture legs, with three sturdy red legs providing the highest level of stability. And based on our experience with feet often slipping on floor pump bases, the Ultimate base is the thinnest pump in existence, and its design is optimized for road cleats.
The internal construction of the pump gauge can be likened to that of an automatic watch. Instead of the +/-5% error commonly accepted in the industry, the gauge is precision engineered to achieve the <1% error required by silica, with a base error within 1 psi from 0 to 160 psi, and within 0.5 psi from 0 to 60 psi. The special mounting design also allows the gauge to be interchanged between load and mountain use in approximately 2 minutes. Next, the Magic Chuck Dock features a very high-strength neodymium magnet that holds the stainless steel chuck securely in placE The chuck can be easily removed from its storage position with a gentle, straightforward upward pull, without bending or pulling the hose more than necessary. And the Ultimate Hose, which can withstand the 12,000 psi used in race car and aircraft brake lines, has a chuck at the end that is compatible with both French and U.S. style hoses, making it the ultimate hosE In addition, the pumping action incorporates the world's best mountain bike and motorcycle suspension technology for maximum smoothness with minimal play, adding that it is the same material and process used by names such as Fox, Ohlins, and PorschE I'll leave it at that.
Finally, and most importantly, it is the point of contact with the human being: the handlE This is arguably the most complex part of the process. Inspired by both classic steel motorcycle lugs and the finest Japanese kitchen knives, the Ultimete handle is based on a prototype that has been developed many times since conception, combining cast stainless steel lugs and artisan-carved rosewood. The Ultimate handle is the ultimate in ergonomic refinement, combining cast stainless steel lugs and artisan-carved rosewood to create a safer, more comfortable shape with a wider, larger diameter. We promise that once you use this pump, you will never be able to use anything else from other companies again.
*: A cage (RED) for 0~160psi is standard equipment for high pressurE
For low pressure use, please purchase the cage (YELLOW) for 0~60psi separately.
