Other than the look are they really any better than a Topeak Morph? Never used a full size frame pump.

No they’re way worse.
Morph is the goat.

wat, frame pumps are the best

iykyk. but for pumps that live with lock-up/bring-a-bag bikes, the morph is the move

Maybe they’re good for road cycling, but not for my purposes.
Nothing’s better than a hose, T-handle and a foot peg. Even if the foot peg barely works.

Older interesting podcast interview with the designer/founder/inventor. The guy has serious experience behind him.
Over 30,000 possible custom combinations

Oh yeah. Listened to that. I thought he did a crappy intro to it when I first heard it. I wondered if he was involved with the new TRP Classified shifters when I saw that announced the other day.
What model morph is best?
The standard mini morph is the one I have and would get again.
For 6-7 years the only pump I owned was a road morph. I like having the gauge on it even if I don’t know how accurate it is.
I also have a mountain morph and it is a bit bulky to carry around on the regular.
I don’t have a mini morph but I would probably buy that one if I were to get a new one.

I also used the standard mini morph for a decade or so. Just recently I got a mini morph G for every day rides and a mega morph G for bike camping or any time weight/size is less of an issue.
Gauge isn’t great but it’s better than guessing.
Edit: after looking at the Topeak website to get the names of the pumps, I realized that we’re all going to be better off when pump companies finally realize that no one cares if a pump goes to 160 psi anymore. What we need is pumps that max at 100 (of even 80) with more accurate gauges.

I got a Turbo Morph a couple years ago and it seems alright but blissfully I’ve never had to use it in anger

Well this looks kinda wild:
how does it say the seat angle doesn’t change?
Wild, I’ve been sketching out some similar ideas on non-telescoping droppers, but adding the extra part where dropping the post changes the leverage ratio is pretty interesting. I wonder what’s under the “sock” and if it’s a standard hydraulic lifter.
yeah i wonder how annoying the wildly changing seat angle (the literal seat not the tube) is. you definitely can’t sit on that saddle when it’s down, not that you’d want to.
