All Schwalbe tubes are equally appreciated by wheelchair dealers and users for their high reliability. Each tube is inflated at the factory for 24 hours and tested for air integrity. All tubes are inflated and stored for 24 hours to test for air retention. Afterwards, every tube is carefully checked individually by visual inspection.

All valves are nickel-plated and threaded. The valve core is always replaceable. Also, Schwalbe tubes with a classic bicycle valve can be inspected for pressure as they have a high-pressure valve core.

In the production of butyl tubes, Schwalbe ensure a very high purity of the material.  As a result, they hold the air pressure significantly longer than other tubes.

Every Schwalbe tube is 100% recyclable. Without any loss of quality we can use recycled material in the production of new tubes. We have developed in our own factory a special devulcanization process and for several years, it has proved very successful. Right now every Schwalbe standard tube is made up of 20% recycled old tubes.
