CushCore is based on a new concept: Tire Suspension. Any suspension system has a spring and a damper, and with CushCore, pressurized air in the tire is the spring and CushCore is the damper.

Also like traditional suspension, a constant damping force wouldn’t work. It has to be dynamic. Suspension should be supple on small bumps but firm on big hits. 

CushCore responds differently depending on the tire loading scenario. The more the tire flexes, the more damping it provides.  We break it down into small, medium, and large tire deflections.

The graph shows front suspension data with and without CushCore. The bar height is the total number of compression strokes during a ride. The bars are grouped into suspension travel ranges, from 10-20mm, from 20-35mm, and so on. With CushCore, there are fewer compression strokes in each group. CushCore turns big bumps into medium bumps, and medium bumps into smalls bumps...so you get a smoother ride!  

CushCore PRO fits tire widths 2.1″ to 2.6″ and inner rim widths 22mm to 35mm.

Includes (2) CushCore tire inserts, (2) 44mm CushCore presta air valves, valve core tool, installation instructions, and rim stickers.
