The new valve trio offers the right stem length for all common rim heights. "Where a valve extension was previously necessary, there was also the possibility of air loss in the connection. This is eliminated with the new valves, which are made from a single casting," explains Johannes Binner from Schwalbe Marketing.
The other new details also simplify tubeless handling for mountain bikers, road cyclists and touring cyclists. The Schwalbe developers increased the inner diameter of the valve base from 2.4 to 4 millimetres, so that air and sealant can now flow through the valve much better. The risk of valve blockages due to sealing milk particles has been minimized.

The Allen socket and the shorter cone offer further advantages: With an Allen key, the valve base can be mounted more firmly in the rim without overtightening the base. And with its shortened cone, it sinks even deeper into the valve hole. As a result, the installation height is lower, there is more space in the rim for the tire beads and mounting is easier. This is also thanks to the new, large O-ring. It allows the valve to adapt perfectly to the various rim contours, while the valve nut prevents damage to the rim. The previously required spacer sleeve is no longer necessary.
"Until now, some riders and specialist dealers were still reluctant to use tubeless technology. With our new tubeless valves, the handling and fitting of tubeless tires has become even easier," summarizes Johannes Binner.It's not just the inner but also the outer values that are impressive: the high-quality, elegant design of the valve fits perfectly with the stylish, sporty bike. Schwalbe's new tubeless valves will be available in specialist bike shops from the end of July 2020 and cost RRP €21.90 (40 mm), €24.90 (60 mm) and €29.90 (100 mm).
