The Tubeless Revolution? New Sensor Measures Sealant in the Tire
It’s hard to imagine mountain biking without tubeless tires these days. The problem: The sealant dries out over time—often unnoticed, until the next puncture can no longer be reliably sealed. This is exactly where the new SealSense system comes in.
The sensor is placed on the outside of the tire and uses accelerometers to analyze the vibrations of the carcass. Software uses this data to calculate the remaining amount of sealant and displays the value in a smartphone app. There, riders can also save readings and set reminders to refill.
SealSense was developed by physicist Dr. Dan Haronian together with his sons. The system is currently still in the prototype phase. A retail price has therefore not yet been determined. If the technology works reliably, it could solve one of the most annoying tubeless problems: the uncertainty of whether there is even enough sealant left in the tire.
