CushCore Tyre Insert Set

Sure, the install is tough - but the online videos did a great job of explaining how to do it right, minimizing the frustration. Its definitely easier with an extra set of hands (thanks wifey!). Once installed, the improvement to my ride was game changing. Really nice to be able to confidently ride with low PSI and get all that extra traction without fear of burping or losing a bead. I can see why folks really love these things - they make such a big difference!

Can be beat if you plan to ride rugged rocky terrain.

Have not ridden them yet but know they are great - installation was tricky but you tube videos helped

Yes, they are relatively heavy (1lb per set); yes, they are a bit tough to install... However, completely worth the piece of mind and comfort!! Im running 5-7psi less than before, Im taking corners with zero slip/twist. 100% worth the investment and 100% more confident during the ride.

High Rock Ruti I have a Pivot Shuttle e-bike replaced the rear tire from 27.5 plus 2.8 to 2.6 for better turning, replaced the front wheel 27.5 plus to 29 for better roll over. Worked except the ride became harsh, added cushcore to both tires and reduced tire pressure 8 or 10 pounds bike rides really plush now and almost no squirm (tire bending over in turns) I have square edged a few times no pinch flats yet, very happy rider

The manufacturers claims are true. From the first ride, the tires felt like they are solid rubber, absorbing small or large bumps a lot more and resulting in less bounce, which means more time touching the ground and thus getting back in full traction faster. Its not a 50% improvement but maybe a 20% improvement, which, to me, is a big deal. I didnt notice any slow down when accelerating or additional strain going uphill, i.e. the weight doesnt seem to be an issue. I am an avid and almost intermediate biker, dont do anything crazy or fast but my local trails can be really gnarly with plenty of roots. Regarding the price, if that results in having 0-2 tires replaced instead of 2-3 per year, then it more than pays off.

My son rides these, but here is what he has had to say about them after 3 moths of ridding bike parks, and fairly aggressive downhill (Nothing Redbull rampage crazy or anything, just black and double black diamond trails with 2-4 foot drops, loose rocks, roots, etc) he rides pretty aggressively and before using Cushcore, he went through two rims in about 2 months--both times, he had adequate tire pressure, he just landed on a rock perfectly and dented the rims. Since using Cushcore, he has ridden far more aggressively (and had far worse landings) with no additional damage. Whats even better, though is that he now rides much lower pressure and sears up and down that his bike handles far better, too. (Makes sense considering the lower pressure). They seem a little heavy to me, but hes happy to pedal up long climbs with them in exchange for the peace of mind he has now. Ill probably buy some for my bike as well.

They are impossible to get your tire off the wheel once installed without serious risk in damaging your carbon rims. I had to CUT a new tire and the CushCore off in order to get the tire off my Mavic carbon rims. The risk of damage was so great that that is what I was forced to do. ALL to resolve a air leak on my tubeless wheelset.

As expected, not the easiest to install so watch the YouTube videos and it just takes a bit of effort. Put them on both mountain bike and love running lower pressure for grip and no worries about pinch flats. Not cheap but when youre $4k in a bike its worth the investment plus I saw at least 10 people with flats at the bike park last weekend

One of the best mods you can do to your bike.
