CushCore Tyre Insert Set

Easy to install if you’re the least mechanically minded

installation is pretty easy if you know what ur doing. had been riding with it for awhile feels better on corners

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

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.

I don’t know if it’s good or not because I can’t even install it, my local bike shop couldn’t either, this was a waste of money. It also broke my rim when I tried to put it on. This sucks don’t buy it.

These have worked well to protect my 1200$ rims. great customer service as well. My installer couldnt get them balanced, the company was contacted and sent out a new pair no questions asked. The installation was not hard for the guy who did it, took about 10 minutes. used alot of soap

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.

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.

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!!

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.
