About this deal

ARD also allows lower pressures thanks to good sidewall support, I run 23psi in the rear generally, but am pretty sure I could get away with 20ish. Not tested, but on a cheap alu rim, in race conditions I would not hesitate to finish a stage despite a puncture with ARD, I'm confident the tyre would stay seated and dents would be minimal. Some of the other inserts really felt as if they “turned on” as you went through the tire’s stroke. The Panzer is different in this regard. It feels neutral and there’s no place where it really feels like it switches on or times where it makes you realise “that was all insert”. There are other inserts that dominate the feel of the tire but that isn’t the case with the Panzer. It feels like far more of a system. It’s not something to be used with your normal pressures but rather in conjunction with the lower pressures enabled by running the insert. The grip was fantastic. The firmer feeling is not dissimilar to running a heavier compression tune. It thudded through everything it came across and it felt amazing. It rewards you the more you push and I consider it to be a performance product aimed at people who don’t merely want to protect their rims from occasional impacts, but rather people who need inserts to enable them to run lower pressures without them immediately breaking wheels. I think it's also worth mentioning that just because something is quiet it doesn't necessarily mean that it means the rim is impervious to damage. Similarly, if something is making noise it might not be from the insert bottoming out and the rim hitting an obstacle but rather something such as the insert slapping the rim. In the second part of testing, we'll look further into maximum loads for the inserts in a more controlled manner. For now, it's a fool's errand to try and assert which impact would mean what in something that is so hard to repeat. A proprietary closed-cell, polyolefin foam controls compression and rebound forces. Its lightweight, ultra

Before beginning testing in earnest, I acquainted myself with the tires and wheels with no inserts in. They behaved admirably, however burping wasn’t uncommon, clangs and bangs were a running theme and I could often feel the tire roll and squirm in turns. For your reference, I weigh 85kg and wouldn’t say I’m overly aggressive on the bike. Yes. CushCore is compatible with all sealants. The installation instructions recommend injecting tyre sealant with a syringe. Typically, I would run a rear tire weighing around 1200g or 1250g. For this test I ran tires that were around two or three hundred grams lighter. My ultimate goal was to have a tire and insert that was roughly the same total weight as a heavier duty tire. CushCore is made from closed cell foam that's been molded into sort of a T-shape, with the narrower portion sitting in the rim bed, and the upper part extending over the sidewall. CushCore doesn't just bill their system as something to protect against flats – they call it an 'Inner Tire Suspension System', claiming that the insert acts as a damper, with the air in the tire above the insert acting as the spring. That's supposed to lead to better traction, cornering, as well as a smoother ride in rough terrain. Does it work? That's what I wanted to find out.I found that the Rimpact could be fatiguing at times. It doesn't feel that comfortable, in that you often feel like you ride on the support of the material as opposed to solely on the tire supported by a chamber of air. It offers huge amounts of grip, but to say that there isn’t a trade off in terms of comfort wouldn’t be true. I also tend to run a very firm spring rate, which could have exacerbated this issue to some extent. I would, however, be very curious to try the Rimpact with a slightly lighter compression tune on my fork. Corner Harder - 35% more sidewall stability eliminates tyre squirm and burping, even at low tyre pressure. Rail corners with total confidence. So far, no dents or flats. I have run them on really low pressure, and they do their job. I will say, surprise benefit they do "soften" the ride a little. The foams acts as a bit is suspension, and I honestly do feel like they have helped in the arm pump battle.

CushCore is no ordinary tyre insert and is based on a new concept, tyre suspension. Any suspension system has a spring and a damper, and with CushCore, pressurised air in the tyre is the spring and the CushCore tyre insert is the damper. The testing involved an initial dry run while I was in Portugal using a Trail casing Vittoria Martello 2.35” tire on some 30mm wide Silt AM 29 wheels. This period was very brief and was largely by way of making the above video. I was due to begin another test period on a new set of wheels, a set of Mavic Crossmax XL, also with 30mm width, and I didn’t want to muddy the water by adding a variable. so, positives are a slight lighter weight system, more compliant tire for better grip, and better rim protection

Yes. Instead of injecting the sealant after the tyre is fully mounted, simply pour the sealant directly into the tyre before installing the second bead. We recommend injecting because it allows the sealant more ready access to the tyre bead where sealing is required. Corner Harder- 35% more sidewall stability eliminates tyre squirm and burping, even at low tyre pressure. Rail corners with total confidence. If you wish to return your bike to us please keep it in the box it arrived in and call us on 01772 644340 and we will arrange a collection. Tubeless tires have won-out against their tubed counterparts in mountain biking but that doesn’t mean that it’s the perfect system. Not only is it vulnerable to the possibility of burping the air out of the tire at high load or while cornering, it also needs to be a system that keeps damage and destruction at bay while withstanding a whole variety of different forces and abrasions. Corner Harder - 35% more sidewall stability eliminates tyre squirm and burping, even at low tyre pressure. Rail corners with total confidence.

Nice overview, but a handful of runs isn't really going to allow you to go into the details of the pressures allowed and puncture resistance of each insert. CushCore transforms your tubeless tyre into a suspension system with a tune-able air spring and foam damper. Tire inserts are one potential solution. Maybe you need them, maybe you don’t. How we spec our wheels, tires and even our inserts largely depends on where and how we ride. It’s a really interesting topic. Some people would choose a heavy tire and no insert and some would combine the two for all out protection. What I’m interested in during this comparison is the idea of running a slightly lighter tire than I normally would while hopefully reaping all the benefits the insert has to offer.

What are the different types of bike tyres

CushCore improves suspension performance by 16% and reduces impact force from big hits by 50%. Send it See fitment specifications HERE. Within the size recommendations, CushCore works well with every rim and tyre on the market. The benefits of this could be three fold. A more supple tire that was yet further enhanced by running lower pressures to give higher levels of grip, combined with added support from the insert in turns while also offering better rim protection.

A proprietary closed-cell, polyolefin foam controls compression and rebound forces. Its lightweight, ultra durable and impervious to sealant. Both Standard and Plus-sized inserts will fit a 2.6" tyre. We recommend selecting the insert that is most appropriate for your rim's inner width. Use standard for an inner width of 33mm or less. Use Plus for 34mm or wider. To reward the effort of fitting them, CushCore inserts allow for lower tire pressures, thus increasing grip while also protecting your rims and tires, and they work! You’ll still notice when you hit the rim, though the consequences are greatly reduced. Our tester Peter only had two punctures in total. On one occasion, the tire got slashed and, on the other, an impact beyond what the CushCore can fend off had bent the rim so badly that it could no longer seal with the tire. Even then, Peter was still able to roll home quite relaxed thanks to the inserts. The tire remains stable even when deflated and the foam insert protects the rim from further damage when rolling. Burping your tires becomes much harder. We didn’t manage to rip a single tire off the rim with the CushCore inserts installed. During the 24 months that Peter used these rims with the CushCore inserts installed, competing at EWS races and the Squamish enduro race, among others, he only got this one dent. He was also able to keep using the same CushCore inserts without any issues and never had to replace them. system has a spring and a damper, and with CushCore, pressurised air in the tyre is the spring and the CushCore tyre Go Bigger- CushCore improves suspension performance by 16% and reduces impact force from big hits by 50%. Send it with total confidence.Every single one of these inserts improved the performance of my tires. If I were to separate them, I would say the Vittoria, Rimpact and CushCore offer the most support. The other three, while definitely offering a lot, are better used in conjunction with slightly higher pressures. If it’s all out support you’re after then I would say the Rimpact offers an equal amount, if not even more, than the CushCore but both are leading in this regard. The Vittoria does offer a similar feel to these two, but that stability is not so pronounced in turns. Both grip admirably but I personally preferred the feel of the Rimpact. That said, the CushCore was far more comfortable. For somebody who doesn't want the feel of their tire drastically changed but does want all the support they can get their hands on, it's got to be the CushCore. Tyre choice is a personal preference, and the best choice for you depends on several variables. In general, CushCore makes it possible to run lighter, faster-rolling tyres without sacrificing lateral stability, impact absorption capacity, or flat resistance. For that reason we suggest trying a tyre in a lighter weight class than you normally use - for example, a 750 gram tyre instead of an 950 gram tyre. If you are already using a lightweight tyre, try reducing tyre pressure as described below.
