Visma | Lease a Bike won't be using adjustable tyre pressure systems at this year's Paris-Roubaix

Team Visma | Lease a Bike have confirmed that they will not be using the adjustable KAPS tyre inflation system at this year's Paris-Roubaix. At the 2023 edition, this was the 'newest inovation' but a year later, the Dutch team stepped away from using this piece of equipment.

It was unclear after last season's edition of the 'Hell of the North' just how effective the KAPS system proved to be for Jumbo-Visma, however, ahead of this year's edition they have revealed that the system will not be used.

An official statement from Visma-Lease a Bike read: "We are working together with KAPS since last year and they are finalizing the product now with our combined data. So not yet now, but soon available, as they will produce on a larger scale later this year for the consumer market."

The only other team using similar device was Team dsm-firmenich PostNL with their Scope's Atmoz tyre pressure control system. Whether the other Dutch WorldTour team will use the adjustable system remains to be confirmed over next few days.
