A new industry standard – the Clik valve?

Schwalbe has recently launched a new product that aims to replace the finicky Presta valve, and it’s called CLIK.

What’s better about this new valve? (according to Schwalbe)

• 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

Yup, there’s a video:

Personally, I’d love a valve that offers easier use and better airflow – especially for seating tubeless tyres.

Once I’ve tried one, I’ll let you know.
