The Italian brand Tubolight has come to market with a new, innovative Diamana tyre liner. It's no longer just about inserting a piece of moulded polyethene foam into the tyre. It will only protect the rim in a more brutal impact or allow you to make an emergency return home after a puncture. Science comes into play. At the beginning of the Tubolight Diamana liner, a study looked at the movement of air molecules inside the tyre as it deformed due to external forces. 

With the increasing popularity of gravel riding, the demands of gravelists on the footwear of their single-track pets are naturally increasing. Gone are the days when gravel tyres meant 35mm wide and nothing more. Today, riders can choose not only the width of the tyres, up to 50 mm for some manufacturers but also the tyre compound, different types of puncture protection or the colour of the sidewalls. In this article, we'll go through the current Michelin range and detail the types of tyres for gravel riding. Most of the gravel tyres featured in this article come in wire and Kevlar in several other compounds and widths.
