Contactless Air Cleaning
LuftWASH
The professional 2-in-1 cleaning and drying tool. Cavitation technology for gentle deep cleaning combined with compressed air drying — all in one ergonomic handgun. 100% E-bike safe.
The power of drops
Two-phase nozzle: fine water droplets carried by high-speed compressed air — up to 8× less water than a traditional nozzle.
Cavitation — the invisible cleaner
Micro-bubbles form inside the water jet, grow, then implode on the surface — every implosion fires a tiny shockwave cleaning pulse that lifts dirt without scratching.
Formation
The two-phase nozzle accelerates droplets that seat into the water film as cavitation nuclei.
Growth
Under the local pressure drop, micro-bubbles expand up to 1000× their seed size, storing energy.
Implosion
On contact with dirt, bubbles collapse in microseconds — each shockwave lifts particles without touching the paint.
The LuftWASH — from every angle
LuftWASH
Professional cavitation cleaning meets compressed air drying
The cycleWASH® LuftWASH is a professional-grade 2-in-1 cleaning and drying tool designed as the ideal companion to every cycleWASH® washing system. Using patented cavitation cleaning technology, the LuftWASH delivers powerful yet gentle deep cleaning without any high-pressure water — making it completely safe for e-bikes, carbon frames, and delicate components.
Three functions in one ergonomic handgun: water cleaning with cavitation micro-bubbles that implode on surfaces to lift dirt, rinsing with a gentle water stream, and compressed air drying to remove all residual moisture from hard-to-reach areas like brake calipers, headsets, and derailleur mechanisms.
The LuftWASH is the essential pre-cleaning and finishing tool — use it before the automated wash cycle for heavily soiled bikes, or after the wash for a spotless, dry finish ready for the customer.

Key Features
Six reasons why the LuftWASH is your most important tool
Contactless Air Cleaning
Cavitation micro-bubbles remove dirt without physical contact — no scratches, no damage to delicate surfaces.
Safe for All Surfaces
6–8 bar compressed air with a fine water mist — cavitation power without high pressure. Zero risk to electronics, displays, battery contacts, and sensitive e-bike components.
Portable Handheld Design
Ergonomic, lightweight, and easy to handle. Designed for hours of professional use without fatigue.
Water-Efficient
The two-phase nozzle atomises fine droplets into compressed air — up to 8× less water than a traditional nozzle. Sustainable professional bike care.
How It Works
Three simple steps to a perfectly clean and dry bicycle
Pre-Clean
Point the LuftWASH gun at dirty areas and activate the water function. Cavitation micro-bubbles break down mud, grease, and road grime on contact.
→Wash
Run the bike through the cycleWASH® automated system for a full semi-automatic or automatic wash cycle with rotating brushes.
→Dry
Switch to compressed air mode and blow-dry all components. Remove water from hard-to-reach areas for a spotless, ready-to-ride finish.
