Product Information
Full details
The CushCore 29er E-MTB Single Tyre Insert is a performance-focused solution for electric mountain bike riders looking to maximize rim protection and suspension quality. By acting as a dynamic damper within your tyre, it offers 16% better suspension performance and significantly reduced impact forces on technical terrain, though the added mass and installation difficulty remain notable considerations for weight-conscious or DIY-averse riders.

FAQs
Will this insert change my tyre pressure recommendations?
Yes, many riders find they can run slightly lower tyre pressures with CushCore than they could with a standard tubeless setup due to the added rim protection.
Can I use standard tubeless valves with this insert?
While some standard valves work, it is recommended to use valves with air channels that prevent the insert from blocking the airflow.
Does the insert absorb tubeless sealant?
The foam is closed-cell and does not absorb sealant, though the surface area will require a slightly larger volume of sealant to ensure even distribution.
How long do these inserts typically last?
They are designed to be durable, but their lifespan depends on your riding frequency and the severity of impacts you encounter.
Is this insert compatible with all E-MTB tyres?
It is designed for tyres between 2.1 and 2.6 inches in width; check your tyre sidewall for exact sizing before installation.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty seating the tyre bead during installation
Ensure the tyre bead is positioned in the deepest part of the rim channel while working around the circumference.
Sealant leaking from the valve stem
Ensure the valve nut is tightened securely and verify the valve core is clean and seated correctly.
Tyre feels sluggish or heavy
Verify tyre pressures; CushCore often allows for lower pressures, but running them too low can increase rolling resistance.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significant reduction in vibration and impact fatigue
- Prevents tyre burping and rim damage
- Provides a noticeable improvement in overall suspension feel
- Compatible with a wide range of E-MTB rim widths
- Durable construction for heavy E-MTB use
Cons
- Installation can be challenging and physically demanding

Compatibility
- Wheel Size: 29er
- Tyre Width: 2.1 to 2.6 inches
- Inner Rim Width: 22mm to 35mm
Care Instructions
- Regularly check your sealant levels, as the insert surface can absorb some fluid over time.
- During off-season storage, it is recommended to break the tyre bead to prevent the sealant from drying the insert to the rim.
- Inspect the foam for signs of excessive wear or tearing after major impacts.
