About Us

Company Story

The roots of Genuine Innovations date back to 1986 when Tony Hollars approached bike shop owner, Jeff Bleecker with his idea for a unique controllable CO₂ tire inflator for bicycles.

Innovations in Cycling was born in 1989 when Jeff & Tony went into production with their first CO₂ inflation device, the "GT Instaflate" which was sold to GT bicycles as an exclusively branded product for their new mountain bike line.

In 1991 Jeff & Tony were approached by Reebok to develop a custom CO₂ inflation device to be used with the popular Reebok "Pump" shoe line. By 1995 Innovations had produced over 1.8 million CO₂ pumps for Reebok.

We have since went on to develop the worlds leading line of CO₂ powered tire inflation products for the cycling and motorsports industry sold under our Genuine Innovations brand.

In addition to our standard retail products, we design custom engineered devices for industry using our patented and proprietary CO₂ valve technology.

Our experience ranges from designing advanced medical products for Fortune 500 companies to creating unique consumer products such as dust blowers and a CO₂powered air brush. Our engineers can review your needs and provide solutions featuring our exclusive CO₂ delivery technology.
