Team DSM's tire pressure adjustment system set to steal the show at Paris-Roubaix

While facing UCI's inquiry into their controversial road-blocking manoeuvres at the Tour of Flanders, Team DSM remains committed to innovation and is currently trialling a tire pressure adjustment system.
The Dutch team had made arrangements to incorporate the Scope Atmoz, an inflation hub system worth €3,000 that enables cyclists to regulate their tyre pressure with a single button press. However, the trial was suspended at the last moment last year.

An air reservoir housed in the hub and connected to a tubeless rim by a hose allows the Scope Atmoz system to quickly adjust tyre pressure, with changes of up to 0.5 bar per second possible. It was approved by UCI last year.
This system operates in a simple manner, through the use of mechanical valves, the pressure within the tire can be controlled, and the rider can monitor front and rear pressure by utilizing a compatible head unit with ANT+ and Bluetooth connectivity. To modify tire pressure, the rider only needs to press a button on their handlebars, which will then transmit a wireless signal to the mechanical valves.
The introduction of this technology has the potential to greatly impact the team's performance, particularly in races like Paris-Roubaix, where tire pressure can be the key differentiator between victory and defeat. Additionally, with the race's inclusion of rough cobbled sectors, the precise calibration of tire pressure could mean the difference between a comfortable ride and a subpar performance.

- What!! 5 million for a martinez and a Remco and Vingegaard as well. Something is seriously wrong. Should be 5 mil in 3 years probably.abstractengineer08-11-2024
- Remco could definitely lose a couple kilograms. That would help him a lot if he can keep his sustained power which is likely at his age. Above all else though, he needs support. He would have definitely been second if he had Jonas' supportVeganpotter08-11-2024
- van der poel is, what, 29? probably gonna be looking pretty good for this list by the time he walks away in 5 or 6 years.OCexile08-11-2024
- Jonas will be strong next year, he came into the Tour so lightweight after his injuries in that crash. I feel like he'll be focused and ready to go. That said Tadej is going to be tough to beat but it can happen. Should be a great Tour.awp08-11-2024
- It's going to be a great fight! I hope JV gets there in shape, Pogi aswell! And, I hope the Giro wont be a goal, but the Vuelta instead. Let Wout do his Giro (or Jorgensen as GC he can still do the Tour after or the Vuelta) Then, JV and Pogi, will have a match in both the Tour and the Vuelta! (Given Pogi goes for the Tour-Vuelta this time)Stitz08-11-2024
