A PRO Multitool for Every Ride

The multi-tool is an essential piece of equipment for every cyclist. They come in a variety of sizes and configurations that allow you to make quick bike repairs and adjustments on the go. Whether out on the trail, grinding some gravel, packing for a multi-day haul, or hammering away on the local group ride, there's a PRO multi-tool ready to rescue the ride.

When shopping for a multi-tool, consider what tools you'll potentially need, given the type of bike and terrain you'll be riding. Then, make sure to ask two important questions when deciding what tool to carry along with you:

1.     Do you know how to use the different bits and tools to get the most out of this handy item? If not, no sweat! A new tool is a great reason to learn and practice new mechanical skills in the shop to better prepare for a ride

2.     What features are you looking for in a tool? If weight and sleekness are the main priorities for a race situation, consider something that has all the bits for a quick fix but minimizes bulk and weight. Looking to be fully self-sufficient on a week-long backcountry bikepacking trip? Opt for maximum functionality to keep rolling regardless of what the adventure throws your way. 

Determine how self-sufficient you want to be and what you want out of your tool. Here are some suggestions for the best PRO multi-tools to get your job done.

For the Minimalist Racer– PRO Mini Tool Performance 13F

For those who want the essential tools in the sleekest lowest profile package, the Mini Tool Performance 13F packs maximum function into a fast, minimalist package. The tool integrates seamlessly with PRO saddle accessory mounts, leaving your pockets empty for full freedom out on the course. The streamlined design incorporates both a chain tool and tire lever for a wide variety of functions with minimal weight. Flip out one of the common hex heads, torque bits, or screwdriver bits, and give loose bolts a twist to be back on your way.

For the Budding Wrench – PRO Performance 17F Mini Tool

This all-new 17-function mini tool has hardened steel bits that slip into a mini-handled L-driver for mechanical advantage and precision work. The compact design also features a 9- through 12-speed chain tool along with link storage slots, so there's always a spare link at hand. It’s also designed to fit perfectly with the PRO Smart Bottle Cage for the ultimate combo of precision ergonomics and low-profile integration.

For the Backcountry Trail Rider or Bike Tourer – PRO Team 20F CO2 Mini Tool

Big trail days or multi-day point-to-point trips require mechanical self-sufficiency—either that or some comfy walking shoes. The updated Team 20F mini tool will fix just about anything that can be repaired out on the trail. It features hex drivers as small as 2 and 2.5 mm for lever reach adjustments and as large as 8 mm for pedal spindles. The brake pad spreader, tire lever, and four different spoke wrenches help with wheel-related mishaps, while a 9-12-speed chain tool means that drivetrains across the spectrum are repairable. Top that off with open-ended wrenches of various sizes and an integrated CO2 inflator for impresive fold-out functionality. 

For the Off-Duty Master Mechanic – PRO Mini Torque Wrench

Let's face it, master mechanics don't leave their attention to detail at the workbench when they step away for a ride. That's why the Mini Torque wrench is a great tool for those unwilling to compromise when it comes to checking that every bolt on the bike is properly secure and not over-tightened. It's a great option for riders who want to dial in the fit and positioning out on the road or trail without crushing carbon parts in the pursuit of precision. The wrench comes with three pre-set torque values of 4/5/6 Nm and six common bits stored in the ergonomic handle. This tool pairs perfectly with the Team 20F mini tool for a back-pocket service course.
