CushCore Tyre Insert Set

Finally showed up, after a month, and the box marked Pro 29 had clearly beed opened and contained one 29 & one 27.5 insert. Great! What a pain in the saddle!!

Product delivered on time, on budget, meeting quality expectation. What more could one ask?

Havent had a flat in months! I also noticed my ride (even through Rocky gardens) feels a lot smoother! Is like upgrading your suspension. Be aware, it adds weight to your bike, and you will feel that difference for a few rides. Other than that, the pros outdo the cons. I recommend installing these if you plan to start getting a bit more serious with your riding, or you plan to go through very Rocky trails.

Watch install videos I stretched the casing of my tire. Creating a bubble or what looks like a bent wheel installing the tire over the cush core.

Im a 185lbs rider with a 160/140mm travel bike in Arizona, and Im fairly aggressive downhill. After cracking a carbon rim in the rear despite running a 29x2.5 Aggressor at 23psi, and bending an aluminum rim + pinch flatting the 27.5x2.8 Nobby Nic at 18psi, I decided to just pony up for Cushcore. Well, I wont be breaking any more rims. I accidentally dropped my plus tires to 7psi (was playing with pressures on new Rekons) and sent it down a hill, setting my second fastest time despite all the drag. No rim damage, no rear squirm, and no worries.

Get these for your bike yesterday! Cushcore provides a great ride feel and you can run your tires at lower pressures. I can finally drop my pressure and not roll my tires.

Cheap insurance, plus the added benefit of better trail feel from your bike. Still cant believe how much better the bike feels. Easiest way to explain differance in feeling is going from tube to tubeless. Maybe even alloy wheels to carbon wheels. The differance in the way the bike feels is apperant. I bought CushCore to prevent pinch flats and carbon wheel breakage. Pictures included, and before you assume it was due to not enough air pressure, I was running 32 psi. Arizona has a lot of sharp trail features cacti, snakes, rocks, ect. Installation was easy if you follow Cushcore instructions. You could try other medods but Cushcores way made it painless.

Articolo utile per chi pratica mtb su terreni rocciosi o molto sassosi. Montaggio abbastanza laborioso, ma seguendo le istruzioni e lubrificando molto bene il cushcore si installa più facilmente.

Terrible experience using cushcore on my rear tire. I had a terrible accident on a long jumping downhill the tire dont roll good speed or accelerate very bad, damping very bad, the bike feels heavy stamped on the jumps, like flat tire all the time. I prefer to brake the rim but not myself. I recommend to use a good dh casing tires with normal tubeless or a regular tube with anti puncture band for dh racing. I think cush core is only good to go slow on rocks or people who dont like to jump and protect carbon rims. I heard that tannus tubeless could be a good option and its between to use tube and cushcore because, because you have more air on the tire, but never tried. Conclusion: If you like to jump, never use cush core for your safety, if you dont jump its ok to use it.

At first, the performance benefits are awesome, but the insert quickly stretches out and loses lots of the sidewall support that makes it so awesome. After about a month of riding, the insert no longer sits tightly on the rim and is very loose. This also makes installing it much harder. After contacting Cuchcore, they said it is just time for a new cushcore. Lasting this long makes cuschore insanely expensive.
