"description": "Vittoria has launched an update to its Air-Liner Light Road tubeless tyre insert, introducing a redesigned material and manufacturing process to improve performance. The new insert was developed with input from WorldTour teams and is designed to provide puncture support, bead stability, and rim protection, with the brand claiming it doesn't affect ride feel or speed.\n\nThe main change comes from the manufacturing process. Rather than being cut from a block, the material is now extruded. According",

"textContent": "Vittoria has launched an update to its Air-Liner Light Road tubeless tyre insert, introducing a redesigned material and manufacturing process to improve performance. The new insert was developed with input from WorldTour teams and is designed to provide puncture support, bead stability, and rim protection, with the brand claiming it doesn't affect ride feel or speed.\n\nThe main change comes from the manufacturing process. Rather than being cut from a block, the material is now extruded. According to Vittoria, this creates more uniform closed cells and a smoother outer surface. The benefit of this is that the insert reduces sealant absorption, allowing riders to use up to 10% less sealant than with the previous model.\n\nThe company also claims improvements in run-flat capability and installation. In the event of a puncture, the insert expands to support the tyre. Vittoria claims that the insert can provide a similar ride feel to a tyre inflated to 14.5 psi (1 bar), allowing riders to ride for up to 50 km.\n\nWeight for the inserts remains unchanged at 30–40 g per wheel, and they will be offered in three size ranges covering 28 mm to 42 mm tyres, with prices starting at €60 / $78",
