Works great

Depending on which rims your mountain bike has, the installation will be easy, or very hard. it is recommended buying the installation accessories. Once they're installed properly, it makes the ride feel so much better. It is honestly worth the hassle.

I love the fact that I can run WAY lower pressure in my tires, especially running 29x2.6's. Currently installed on 32mm wide rims, so I had to get the CushCore Pro to allow for the wide tires but difference between CushCore and no inserts is night and day. I really didn't want to have to pay an additional weight penalty, 2.6" wide tires AND the heavy version of CushCore, but the amount of traction available is definitely worth it! The biggest gripe I have is that the inserts were the biggest pain I have ever had to deal with in terms of bike maintenance. I've seen all of the hacks and cheats and "easy methods" of installing CushCore, but in real life they were a huge pain. I found it a little easier to have one side of the tire on the rim already and then squeeze the CushCore in through the other side of the tire. It's definitely not easy to push the tire bead into the rim channel once the CushCore in on the rim so I got as much of the tire on the rim before dealing with the CushCore.All said, I would get CushCore again and I would recommend it to anyone who rides mountain bikes. I haven't tried any of the other brands but I'm also a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" and I will pay the premium price if the product has a good reputation, CushCore has the reputation that I will gladly pay for. I am just a regular consumer so I don't get hand-outs and I would love for the cost to be lower but until the day comes when CushCore goes on sale I'll still buy at consumer prices.

I installed this on my 2021 Delano, Peak, and I absolutely love it! I haven’t noticed the weight that much, but being able to run significantly lower tire pressures has dramatically improved the ride quality especially on technical descents.

Install was easy after following directions and using soapy water. The second wheel took less than 5 minutes. Cant vouch for its functionality yet, but in terms of install, soapy water made it a breeze. I will say that injecting sealant was rough on one of the wheels, and I am not sure if that was due to some orientation of the air holes on the installed stem, but the other tire drank the sealant no issues.

My son rides these, but here is what he has had to say about them after 3 moths of ridding bike parks, and fairly aggressive downhill (Nothing Redbull rampage crazy or anything, just black and double black diamond trails with 2-4 foot drops, loose rocks, roots, etc) he rides pretty aggressively and before using Cushcore, he went through two rims in about 2 months--both times, he had adequate tire pressure, he just landed on a rock perfectly and dented the rims. Since using Cushcore, he has ridden far more aggressively (and had far worse landings) with no additional damage. What's even better, though is that he now rides much lower pressure and sears up and down that his bike handles far better, too. (Makes sense considering the lower pressure). They seem a little heavy to me, but he's happy to pedal up long climbs with them in exchange for the peace of mind he has now. I'll probably buy some for my bike as well.

Watch install videos I stretched the casing of my tire. Creating a bubble or what looks like a bent wheel installing the tire over the cush core.

This was a birthday present to myself. It took some work to get installed but I figured it out. This works way better than advertised. I am really surprised. I am considerably faster with these on my bike. I ride in very rocky, sandy, and hard dirt environment. I am flying through terrain that would have absolutely terrified me in the past. This is a major confidence booster to my riding and I LOVE riding faster!
