Vittoria does make a larger and a smaller version of this insert to suit your needs. I think the Medium was great for my style of riding but if you wanted something a little more volumous or slender then there are options. This does give the option of mixing and matching to suit your needs. The larger size is almost a run-flat system and the smaller size is something I've used previously to give me one last layer of rim protection. 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.

CushCore Pro Highlights

I think the MegaNorris does have its place and it does offer excellent stability in turns. This is the insert for somebody that rides hard, corners harder and isn’t particularly worried about feel or how it copes with rough choppy terrain. There are lots of people who ride high-load berms and want something very secure that will stop their tire squirming and rolling over, this could well be that option. a) If we have sent you the incorrect bicycle, we will cover the cost of collection and delivery of the correct model. 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. See fitment specifications HERE. Within the size recommendations, CushCore works well with every rim and tyre on the market.

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.DUE TO THE CURRENT HIGH DEMAND, DELIVERY TIME FOR BIKES IS 7-10 DAYS.

Send it 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. I realize 38 is higher than almost everyone. But at 26 psi I would destroy the sidewalls in a few days of park riding (and my rims). As for traction, in dry conditions it hooks up much better at high pressure than at low pressures like 20psi, where I find it just starts breaking loose and keeps going because there is no support for the knobs to bite under hard cornering. system has a spring and a damper, and with CushCore, pressurised air in the tyre is the spring and the CushCore tyre

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. A proprietary closed-cell, polyolefin foam controls compression and rebound forces.

CushCore PRO allows you to push the limits of your tyres and suspension to new levels. The best choice for the majority of wheels terrain and riders. If this is the future, rims need to be made for optimal mating of the tire and insert in the rim. As it stands now, inserts make installation really difficult, add a lot of weight and provide a limited improvement in terms of puncture resistance, tire support etc.

Rolling: Purely on feel, I’d say the Cushcore XC edges the rolling speed a touch at the same low pressures through mildly rough terrain, but there’s not much in it.

i will admit the one and only thing maybe worthwhile with cushcore is stopping rim dents with lower pressures as i have dented rims (although never causing a puncture) but the weight and fitting hassle just isn't worth this alone. While i don't see harm in running this if you want i don't think the advantages are very big or outway the disadvantages. Support: There’s no contest here, the Rimpact Pro feels significantly more supportive at the same tire pressures and allows for roughly 2 psi less tire pressure before things become “squirmy”.
