Yes, the Schwalbe Clik Valve can be used on any bicycle. We offer conversion kits for the three common bicycle valves (Sclaverand (Presta), Dunlop and car valve). A prerequisite for the Sclaverand valve is that the valve insert is replaceable. Tubeless valves can also be converted very easily.
Easy inflation
thanks to new valve system
It's finally here: the long overdue development that makes inflation easier for everyone! The SCHWALBE CLIK VALVE (SCV) is THE revolution for bicycle valves and solves problems that have existed for over a century.
In terms of usability, it sets completely new standards. Because with the SCHWALBE CLIK VALVE, inflating the bicycle tire is now as simple as possible - with a click. The SCHWALBE CLIK VALVE can be operated with just one hand and is suitable for everyone: from the youngest adventurers to the most experienced cyclists. It's love at first CLIK!
THIS IS CLIK VALVE
The principle of the SCHWALBE CLIK VALVE, winner of the Eurobike Award 2024, is very simple: it works intuitively with a click. What does it need? The valve and the corresponding pump head or pump head adapter. With the Clik Valve, this can be clicked onto the bike valve with minimal force and removed again very easily after successful inflation.
It doesn't matter which valve and pump you currently have - thanks to conversion kits for all existing bicycle valves and most pumps. To change the bicycle valve, simply replace the valve insert (Sclaverand, Presta, Dunlop, tubeless valve), for the car valve there is an adapter that is screwed over the valve (and can be easily unscrewed again to be able to use petrol station pumps).
The pump head adapter can be integrated into the pump head of current pumps (by clamping or screwing in), even with hand pumps. The Schwalbe Clik Valve can also be inflated with normal SV (Presta) pumps - thanks to this reverse compatibility, you are never at a loss in any situation. And SKS will already be offering its own CLIK VALVE pump at Eurobike.
Schwalbe will soon be producing the first tubes with the Clik Valve.
Eurobike Award Winner
Even before the official presentation, the Schwalbe Clik Valve was honored for the first time and won the Eurobike Award 2024.
“SCHWALBE's CLIK VALVE is a groundbreaking development. We all know the problems that keep cropping up with existing valves. These are completely eliminated with the SCHWALBE CLIK VALVE - the bicycle tire is inflated within seconds. The entire handling is child's play.“

The Schwalbe Clik Valve - The revolution for bicycle valves
Finally, complicated bicycle valves are a thing of the past. Thanks to the collaboration between Schwalbe and the inventor of the Clik Valve, John Quintana. When he invented it, he wanted his children to be able to inflate their bike tires themselves. He was annoyed by the fact that it was simply too complicated for them with the "old" valves. So Quintana developed the Clik Valve and started working with Schwalbe. Thanks to the new innovative bicycle valve, inflation is now child's play. The Schwalbe Clik Valve will be available in specialist bike shops in the third quarter of 2024.
What's new?
- The complete system is new and revolutionizes the way bicycle tires are inflated.
- The valve insert and the pump head or the corresponding adapter together make inflation child's play.
- Schwalbe will soon be producing the first tubes with the Clik Valve.
What's different?
- The Schwalbe Clik Valve (SCV) makes inflating your bike tires child's play thanks to the intuitive Clik system.
- The pump head can be easily attached to and removed from the valve.
- The conversion kit contains the new pump head or pump head adapter as well as the Schwalbe Clik Valve and a newly designed dust cap
What is better?
- It can be operated with just two fingers and is extremely simple for everyone.
- There is no longer any risk of air loss and there are no signs of wear on the pump head.
- The air flow in conjunction with tubeless is 50% higher than with conventional SV valves.
- Reverse compatibility: The Schwalbe Clik Valve can also be inflated with normal SV (Presta) pumps.
- Conversion kits for all common bicycle valves & adapters for car valves are available
Clik Valve FAQ
Thanks to the pump head adapter, the valve can also be pumped with most normal SV/DV (Presta) pumps.
Only air escapes from the pump or the pump hose. Absolutely no air is lost from the tire and the tire pressure is exactly the same as the pressure gauge on the pump, for example.
When the pump head is audibly and tangibly engaged, it is securely seated and remains on the valve without any problems, even at high pressure.
To release air, you can use one edge of the dust cap. A fingernail, a key or any other small object will also work.
In contrast to conventional dust caps, the Clik Valve dust cap is not unscrewed but pulled off.
The Schwalbe Clik Valve will be available in specialist bike shops in the third quarter of 2024.
How the conversion works
On the valve:
SV+DV (Presta): Simply unscrew the current valve insert (tool for SV is included) and screw in the Schwalbe CLIK VALVE by hand, and the valve is ready. AV (Car valve): The adapter for the Schwalbe CLIK VALVE can simply be screwed onto the car valve.
On the pump:
Simply integrate the adapter into the AV (car valve) pump head (clamp or screw in). The pump is then "CLIK-ready".
