List of products by Zefal

Set up in 1880, Les Etablissements AFA are specialized in the design of toe-clips, toe-straps, bicycle bells and racks. Later called POUTRAIT, the company works closely with famous riders to develop products. In partnership with Mr Lapize and Mr Christophe, both French famous cyclists, POUTRAIT created, at the beginning of the twentieth century, products under two new brands: LAPIZE and CHRISTOPHE.

A few years after the creation of AFA / POUTRAIT, another French industrialist, Mr. Sclaverand, invented and manufactured the first bicycle valve which took his name for decades before being called the French valve or Presta valve.

In the 1980's, POUTRAIT-MORIN changed its name to its most popular brand, ZEFAL. It was also at that time, and following the advent of the MTB, when the first mini-pump has been developed: the mini-double-shot. Even today this mini-pump appears to be the world's best selling mini-pump.
