CushCore is an engineered foam insert to be mounted inside a tire, designed to absorb impacts, reduce vibration and increase lateral stability. These characteristics translate to a more controlled, comfortable, and faster ride.

  • CushCore XC is a lightweight foam tire insert designed for cross-country racing, light trail riding, and/or less aggressive riders
  • Inserts are designed to absorb impacts, reduce vibration and increase lateral stability
  • Provides a more controlled, comfortable, and faster ride
  • Inserts reduce rolling resistance which allows for better forward momentum through rough terrain
  • CushCore XC fits tire widths 1.8" to 2.4" and inner rim widths 22mm to 32mm
  • Weight: 150 g
  • The system is designed to be used with tubeless-ready or tubeless converted rims and tires, and is compatible with tubeless tire sealants
  • The insert divides the inner volume of the tire in half, maintaining air underneath the tread and the foam insert next to the rim
  • Valve stem included

In the last 10 years or so since bikes have gone tubeless I've VERY rarely had flats on a ride from a traditional puncture ( thorn/glass) in the tread but I have had several tires cut on the sidewall from a hard impact getting pinched between the rim and the offending object. This is a minor disaster since you cant really repair a side wall cut. Yes an innertube may get you home but the tire is toast long term and it has happened twice in races and ended my day.

Cushcore puts a lightweight flexible foam cushion inside the tire and prevents the rock-to-rim impacts. Some people claim it makes the bike corner better but I haven't felt much difference. There is of course a weight penalty but I carry my own weight penalty and the extra few ounces is pretty minor for most riders.

The real question is installation. I've mounted many tubeless tires so I'm above-average on tire competency I would say it made things 25-50% tougher but I got it mounted in 15-20 minutes and it sealed first try. ( Bontrager Kove30 carbon rim and Maxxis Recon tire). Watch the 5 minute video on Cushcore.. it was helpful.

Mount the Cushcore first then seat one bead at a time of the tire ( don't forget the CC specific valve). Per the instructions I didn't put any sealer in at this stage. I put the wheel flat on a bucket then used a tire lever to push the bead down into the center channel for maximum slack then flipped the wheel and worked the 2nd bead in. I had to use tire levers and a little sealer as lubricant. Then air the tire up with a compressor until the bead snaps into place let the air out again remove the valve core and add the sealer replace the valve core air it up and you're done;

I put this on a hardtail 29r and I was impressed with the improvement. It does feel like it provides some added suspension and play to the rear wheel and I have also noticed an increase in traction and was able to decrease my tire pressure ~3-6 psi. Overall I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the increased performance and would recommend trying it out.
