I suspect that for either the "high pressure" or "high volume" pumps, the maximum pressure they note is probably only attained at "busting a gut" levels of exertion (at least for me). For the tires...

I think that's the gist of it.

I would guess that it's mostly a matter of the diameter of the piston/cylinder. The larger the cross sectional area, the greater the maximum force required to...

Lezyne considers the Pocket Drive to be one of their "high pressure" pumps suitable for road bike tires. It's just going to take a relatively large number of strokes because of the very compact size....
