The invention relates to a traction control system (11), for controlling a contact force (F) between a wheel (5) rotating around a wheel rotation axis (9) and a contact surface (6), the traction control system (11) comprising: at least a first weight (13a-c) controllable to move around the wheel rotation axis (9) when the traction control system (11) is coupled to the wheel (5); and a weight guiding arrangement (15) configured to guide the first weight (13a-c) in such a way that, when the first weight (13a-c) moves around the wheel rotation axis (9), a center of mass of the first weight (13a-c) follows a first path defined by the weight guiding arrangement (15), wherein the first path exhibits a first portion with a first radius (R1) of curvature, and a second portion with a second radius (R2) of curvature, larger than the first radius (R1) of curvature.
