Road Drive Pump
The Lezyne Road Drive Pump is to the Carbon what the Carbon Pressure Drive is to the Pressure Drive. This is the same smart pump design, with the same features, but with one change: CNC-machined aluminum standing in for carbon fiber at the handle, barrel, and frame mount. CNC-machined aluminum remains for the piston and end caps. It's a noticeable savings at the cost of a few grams.
As with other Lezyne mini-pumps, this one comes with a hose. In this case, the ABS Speed Hose. This is a huge benefit for a few reasons. One is ergonomics; you aren't limited by holding the pump at a perfect right angle to the valve. A second is that this Flex Hose is ABS-equipped -- it has a bleeder valve on it. Because this is for Presta valves only, the pump head is fitted with a slip chuck. Press it on and it stays on.
Lezyne Road Drive pumps are longer and leaner than pressure drive pumps. The 17mm diameter means more strokes than the Pressure Drives to get to the same place, but with less effort per stroke.

Nice design
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I love the flexible hose attachment so that there's less worry about damaging the tube at the valve stem while you're trying to get back on the road quickly.

Part of a larger "pump solution"

Got one of these in the Large 12" size, figuring the small additional weight was worth it for faster pumping. To make sure I pump up enough to avoid a pinch flat, I wanted a pressure gauge, so I replaced the hose with an ABS Pen Gauge, available here. Pricey, but I mitigated the cost by having just one pump, switching it between my winter and summer bikes as needed. Lezyne sells pumps with digital gauges, but the battery might go dead between uses and the accuracy of the mechanical gauge is adequate for me. [The ABS Pen Gauge product description here says it lacks a vent button, which is incorrect. My pen gauge has one, and it's visible in the picture in the product listing] Don't like putting something so long and hard in my jersey pockets, so I got bottle cages with pump "holsters" molded into the side Lezyne sells two: Flow Cage HP for the budget-minded and Road Drive Cage Carbon for the weight-minded. Both work well, I have one of each between my two bikes. They are sized for the diameter of Road Drive pumps. Thankfully, not many flats lately so haven't needed to use it much.

Good pump, so far
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I just purchased this pump and have tested it to pump up my tires. I bought it specifically for its flexible hose apparatus after nearly breaking a valve stem using a hand pump that didn't have a hose. So far I like it; good delivery of air for a hand pump and with the hose I don't have to worry about twisting or breaking a valve stem as is the case with other hand pumps. I do advise reading Joe's comment from June 2015 about how to properly use the pump so that it doens't damage the valve stem. I bought the largest one, which is 12" in length. Fits in a back jersey pocket, though sticks out a bit and is too long for most top-tube bags. Might want to consider a medium to avoid these two issues though will have a bit less air delivery.
