Scope’s wireless tyre pressure management system made a belated debut at Paris-Roubaix on Sunday, where it was used by two Team DSM riders over the cobblestones of northern France.
The Scott Foil aero bikes of Pavel Bittner and Nils Eekhoff were equipped with the Scope Atmoz, which allows riders to inflate and deflate their tyres on-the-fly using buttons mounted to the handlebar.
The Atmoz was originally touted for use by Team DSM at last year’s Paris-Roubaix, but failed to materialise. This time around, however, Bittner and Eekhoff debuted the technology at the Hell of the North. Team Jumbo–Visma’s Christophe Laporte also used a rival system, the HubTech KAPS, en-route to finishing tenth.
Bittner and Eekhoff were selected to use the Scope Atmoz as Team DSM had hoped they would make the day’s break. Eekhoff attempted to jump across to an escape group that broke clear after more than 80km but failed to bridge despite a long chase.
Still, Paris-Roubaix gave us the chance to get up close with the €3,998 system on the bikes of Bittner and Eekhoff, so let’s take a closer look.
The Scope Atmoz is a tyre pressure management system that allows riders to inflate or deflate a tyre on-the-fly.
The Atmoz comprises of a hub-mounted unit on each wheel, tyre pressure sensors, a proprietary valve stem and air lines, as well as the handlebar-mounted controls.
The hub unit, housing the electronics, connects to the valve stem via two air lines to inflate and deflate a tubeless tyre.
The hub also communicates wirelessly to a unit (which looks similar to a Di2 junction box) attached to the stem, connected to two handlebar-mounted controls (one for each wheel/tyre).
The buttons on these controls allow the rider to inflate and deflate their tyres by up to 0.5 bar / 7.3 psi per second.
