CushCore was founded in 2017 in Bend, Oregon, by Adam Krefting, who aimed to revolutionise the mountain biking experience with engineered products that deliver tangible benefits. With a strong foundation in product development rooted in science, CushCore tyre inserts have quickly gained popularity among professional racers, bike parks, and weekend warriors alike. As the brand has expanded, its commitment to a data-driven approach and independent lab testing has remained steadfast, ensuring that every product enhances the riding experience for all.

The Concept of Tyre Suspension

CushCore introduces an innovative concept known as "Tyre Suspension," which redefines how riders think about tyre performance. Just like a suspension system that uses springs and dampers to absorb impacts, CushCore integrates pressurised air within the tyre as the spring, while the CushCore insert acts as the damper. This unique combination results in a significant enhancement of suspension performance, improving it by 16% and reducing impact forces from significant hits by up to 50%.

With CushCore, riders can expect greater control and stability. The inserts provide a remarkable 35% increase in sidewall stability, effectively eliminating tyre squirm and burping, even at lower pressures. Riders experience a 12% smoother ride and 3% reduced rolling resistance, making it feel like you're taking fewer punches in a fight—allowing for more control, momentum, and less fatigue on the trail.

Transform Your Ride

Installing CushCore is an eye-opening experience that goes beyond subtle changes; even novice riders will notice the difference immediately. The confidence-inspiring ride transforms how you tackle corners and descents, empowering you to push your limits. Don’t just take our word for it—experience the proven benefits firsthand.

Compatibility and Versatility

CushCore is designed to fit various tyre sizes and rim widths. For riders using 2.6" tyres, both the Standard and Plus-sized inserts are compatible, depending on the rim's inner width. Standard inserts are recommended for widths of 33mm or less, while Plus inserts are ideal for 34mm or wider rims. Plus, CushCore is fully compatible with all tubeless tyre sealants, making it a versatile addition to your bike setup.

Managing Flats and Tyre Pressures

While CushCore significantly reduces the risk of flats, it’s still possible to experience a puncture, particularly with sidewall slices. However, it allows riders to “limp home” with reduced risk of rim damage. For trail-side repairs, using tyre plugs is a practical approach.

CushCore also enables riders to experiment with tyre pressures, often allowing for 1-5 psi less than standard. This adjustment can enhance performance without compromising safety. We recommend starting at your usual tyre pressure and gradually lowering it to find the optimal setting for your riding conditions.

Built to Last

Durability is a key feature of CushCore inserts. Engineered to withstand the rigours of aggressive riding, the foam is designed to resist degradation, and it remains unaffected by tyre sealant. Typically, a set of CushCore inserts can last a couple of years, depending on factors such as riding frequency, terrain, and tyre pressure.
