The anniversary edition of the floor pump is being released 60 years after its first production in 1966. SKS Germany continues to manufacture the model in Germany.

Design and materials

Tubular steel and a cast iron base form the basis of the design. Brass components accentuate the pump. The real wood handle emphasises the workshop character. A limited edition plaque with an embossed SKS star is individually numbered.

Pump heads and valve compatibility

The pre-assembled SV valve plug nipple made of brass is based on the design of the 1960s. Two additional pump heads extend the range of applications: The MV EASY valve head fits SV, AV and DV valves. The SKS Clik Tec pump head works with the Schwalbe Clik Valve. Marcel Spork, Sales Manager at SKS Germany, explains that the anniversary edition combines traditional design with modern valve technology.
