The Dutch company Scope took two years to develop a special gadget for road bikes, and the product is currently on sale for almost 4,000 euros (100,000 crowns). The system promises the ability to control the pressure in tubeless tires while driving using the buttons on the handlebars without the rider having to stop. The UCI announced the end of the approval process – the key was the launch of the news to the general public – for professional cycling on Monday.

The DSM team worked closely together on the development and wants to make the system public for the first time on Friday. “It’s a big innovation that took us the last few years to develop. We believe that it will have a significant impact and become a respected factor in otherwise marginal aspects, “said Nieck Busser from Scope Cycling for Cyclingnews.

The system allows you to work with tire pressure using air tanks located on the hubs. These are connected directly to the rims by a hose and the required pressure maintains the piston in the device. The system sends the pressure value via Wi-Fi to the driver’s computer on the handlebars, where there are also control buttons. “The system does not compromise the structural integrity of the wheels and has no moving parts or compressors,” the UCI said in its report.
