Complete overhaul of the aerodynamic form and profiling in response to the UCI’s latest guidelines.
Bespoke, intricately designed and machined, titanium and carbon bar/stem combo and headset.
New aerodynamically refined seat tube and custom titanium seatpost utilizing a novel approach to rider comfort and aerodynamics.
Most crucially, a partnership with industry leading 3D sintering partner, RAM3D of New Zealand. Together both brands have created a 3D printed “Parts Kit” which will be fully welded, aligned, and assembled by No. 22 in their New York facility to exacting standards.
Steps to be completed before final production include:
Wind tunnel testing to validate the current CFD modeling and refine the bike's aerodynamic properties.
Structural and ride quality testing to ensure the bike delivers titanium's hallmark feel and durability.
Finalize production of Ti and carbon fiber components.
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. SKS already offers its own pump.
The Clik Valve is produced by the Italian specialist valve manufacturing company Record S.p.A. Schwalbe will soon be producing the first tubes with the Clik Valve
