Schwalbe Clik Valve Kit Presta + Pump Head

The REVOLUTIONARY Schwalbe Clik Valve (SCV) is a bicycle valve system that uses a spring-loaded poppet, similar to a Schrader valve, for a quick and easy push-on "clik" inflation with a compatible pump head. It was developed to make tire inflation simpler and more intuitive for cyclists of all ages and abilities, and it won the Eurobike Award in 2024.

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 included Clik Valve pump head replaces the original pump head on a compatible pump hose. This is the pump-head kit, not the pump-head-adapter kit.

This conversion kit contains a new pump head(1) as well as the Schwalbe Clik Valves(2), valve core removal tool(1) and a newly designed dust caps(2).

KEY FEATURES

Easy inflation: The pump head clicks onto the valve with minimal effort and without threads or levers, preventing accidental air loss when detaching.

High airflow: Schwalbe claims a 50% higher airflow for tubeless setups with the Clik Valve compared to conventional Presta valves. This can make tubeless tire installation easier.

Durable design: The valve does not have a fragile Presta stem that can be easily bent or broken. The lack of threads on the valve core also prevents damage from screw-on pump heads.

COMPATIBILITY AND USAGE

With Clik Valve pump heads: For the easiest and most reliable inflation, use the system with a dedicated Clik Valve pump head. These are included in some conversion kits or sold separately.

With standard Presta pumps: The Clik Valve can also be inflated with a standard Presta (SV) pump that has a clamp-on or push-on head. Screw-on Presta heads are not compatible. With a normal Presta pump, the air pressure cannot be checked.

Pump conversion: This kit includes a replacement Clik Valve pump head. A separate pump head adapter, which fits a Schrader (car-valve) pump connection, is not included.

Releasing air: Air can be released by pressing the small protruding pin in the center of the valve core, using the edge of the valve cap, or a fingernail.

Inner tubes: Certain Schwalbe tubes are equipped with the Clik Valve as standard. When converting existing tubes, compatibility is not guaranteed with TPU tubes that have plastic valve stems, including Aerothan, because they may not seal properly.

"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." -  Markus Hachmeyer, Head of R&D Schwalbe

Before converting: Presta valves must have a removable valve core. Compatibility is not guaranteed with TPU tubes that have plastic valve stems, including Aerothan, because they may not seal properly.

Clik Valve makes tyre inflation simpler: a compatible pump head clicks onto the valve and pulls off when you’re finished. The right product depends on whether you want to convert your existing valves, replace an inner tube or upgrade your pump.

Already have a Clik-compatible pump?

Choose a valves-only conversion kit if you want to convert more wheels and already have a Clik Valve pump head or pump head adapter.

For Presta conversion, your existing valves must have removable valve cores. Don’t assume every inner tube can be converted: compatibility isn’t guaranteed with TPU tubes that have plastic valve stems, including Aerothan. This is different from buying a tube supplied with a factory-fitted Clik Valve.

Want to keep your existing pump?

Choose a conversion kit with a pump head adapter. The adapter fits into the Schrader, or car-valve, connection of a compatible pump by clamping or screwing in. It can also work with compatible hand pumps.

Check that your pump has a suitable Schrader connection before ordering.

Want to replace your pump’s head?

Choose a conversion kit with a replacement Clik Valve pump head. This replaces the original head on a compatible pump hose, rather than fitting inside the existing head.

The pump-head kit and pump-adapter kit are different products. Check the individual listing’s contents before choosing.

Need a new inner tube?

Choose a tube supplied with a Clik Valve, then match the tube to your tyre size and required valve length.

Use the ETRTO size printed on your tyre sidewall to check the listed fit. Don’t choose by wheel diameter alone: tyre width matters too. If you’re unsure, send us your tyre’s size markings before ordering.

Within our Clik tube range, standard, Extra Light and Aerothan models offer different constructions. Compare the individual product’s specifications, fitting instructions and size range before choosing.

Will a normal Presta pump still work?

Clik Valves can also be inflated with a standard Presta pump that uses a clamp-on or push-on head. Screw-on Presta heads aren’t compatible. With a normal Presta pump, you can’t check the air pressure.

For the intended click-on connection, use a compatible Clik Valve pump head or pump head adapter.

Not sure which option you need?

Send us your tyre size, a photo of your existing valve and the make or a photo of your pump head. We’ll help you identify the right option before you order.
