Schwalbe Clik Valve – Easier inflation made simple
The Schwalbe Clik Valve introduces a new and effortless way to inflate your bike tires. With a simple click, the pump connects securely to the valve – one-handed and without any force. This makes it ideal for all riders, from young beginners to experienced cyclists. A practical solution for anyone who values ease of use and convenience.
What is the Clik Valve system?
Winner of the 2024 Eurobike Award, the Schwalbe Clik Valve stands out with a straightforward concept: the valve and pump head click together and release just as easily. Minimal effort is required – making it ideal for everyday use.
No matter which type of valve your bike currently has, there are retrofit kits available for common standards such as Presta, Dunlop, or tubeless valves. For Schrader valves, an adapter can be screwed on and removed just as easily – ideal for using air pumps at gas stations.
Special pumps are not necessary: the Clik Valve adapter can be integrated into most standard pump heads, including mini pumps. At the same time, it remains compatible with regular Presta pumps – offering maximum flexibility. In the future, brands like SKS will also offer dedicated Clik-compatible pump models.
Schwalbe will soon begin producing inner tubes with the Clik Valve already installed.

Clik Valve FAQ
How to retrofit your system
At the valve:
For Presta (SV) and Dunlop (DV) valves, simply unscrew the existing valve insert (a tool for Presta is included) and hand-screw the Schwalbe Clik Valve in place – and it’s ready to use. For Schrader (AV) valves, use the included adapter which threads onto the valve and can be removed when needed.
At the pump:
Insert the adapter into your pump head – depending on the model, it may be clamped or screwed in. Once installed, your pump is Clik-compatible and ready to go.
