Spotted: Viair Has Clik Heads and Upcoming On-Bike Carry Solution for Recon Mini Inflators

Viair, a longstanding manufacturer of air compressors, has expanded its presence in the cycling market with new accessories for its Recon Mini electric mini-inflators. The company now offers a Clik head compatible with the Recon Mini and Mini SL models, joining other brands like Lezyne and Wolf Tooth in adopting this popular valve system. The Clik head is available both as part of new pump packages and as a separate upgrade for existing Recon Mini owners, providing greater convenience and compatibility for cyclists. In addition to the Clik head, Viair unveiled a weatherproof carrying case designed specifically for the Recon Mini inflators at the recent Sea Otter event. This case can be securely attached to saddle rails or frame tubes using a wide rubber strap, addressing a common challenge of transporting rectangular mini-inflators on bikes. The case is sealed and has passed submersion tests, offering protection against rain, mud, and road spray, which is a significant advantage given the electronic nature of these devices. The carrying case is nearing production readiness, with pre-orders already open to retailers and shipments expected to begin by the end of May. It weighs approximately 95 grams and is priced at $34.95, with bundle options including both the inflator and the case planned. This new accessory complements Viair’s existing range of compressors and inflators, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to providing practical solutions for cyclists who rely on portable electric pumps. Viair’s introduction of the Clik head and the dedicated carrying case reflects broader trends in the electric mini-inflator market, where ease of use and transportability are increasingly important. As more cyclists adopt these compact devices, having reliable, weatherproof storage and versatile valve compatibility could enhance user experience significantly. With these developments, Viair is positioning itself as a key player in the evolving landscape of cycling inflator technology.
