Marianne Vos uses self-inflating tyres at Gravel World Championships

Tyres which can inflate themselves have often seemed like a sci-fi conception of a would-be gain in WorldTour riding, but the technology has moved one step closer to breaking into the WorldTour peloton at the 2024 Gravel World Championships.

Marianne Vos (Netherlands) showcased Gravaa’s self-inflating tyre technology ahead of the Gravel World Championships following an absence of the system in professional racing since the 2023 edition of Paris-Roubaix.
