John Quintana, the genius behind the Schwalbe Clik Valve, invented it with the aim of enabling his kids to inflate their bikes themselves. The American tried out the system together with his children, who became enthusiastic testers. No wonder: the valve can be operated with just two fingers and is great fun to use.
But how does the air get through the valve into the tyre? As experts in all things air, SKS GERMANY has developed the CLIK TEC pump head. It can be attached to the valve with an audible click. There is no loss of pressure when removing the valve and the air flow is 50% higher than with conventional AV valves, so that tubeless tyres can finally be fitted effortlessly.
The AIR-X-PLORER CLIK VALVE combines proven German quality with state-of-the-art technology. Equipped with the new SKS CLIK TEC pump head, this floor pump is an indispensable tool that takes tyre inflation to a new level. The design? A dream in SKS orange and Schwalbe blue - colours that perfectly reflect the identities of both brands.
The SKS CLIK TEC adapter makes almost every SKS bicycle pump compatible with the Schwalbe Clik Valve. The pump head can be converted to the new valve system in just a few simple steps: The adapter is inserted directly into the AV opening of the pump head. Operate the clamping lever - and the mini or floor pump is ready for the Schwalbe Clik Valve. Ideal for adapting existing pumps.
With various conversion kits, existing SV or DV valves can be converted to the Schwalbe Clik Valve. By the way: If the bike has been converted to Clik Valve, you can still use your favourite old SKS floor pump. All you have to do is exchange the pump head of the floor pump and replace it with the SKS CLIK TEC pump head. This means that existing pumps remain in use. This saves resources and protects the environment.
The innovative CLIK TEC system from SKS GERMANY not only stands for effortless pumping, but also for a smart and sustainable cycling world!
