Cush Core XC 29 Single

CushCore XC 29" Single – Lighter, Faster, and Safer on the XC Trail

The CushCore XC 29" Single is the lightweight tire insert for riders who compete in cross-country, marathon, and faster trail events and want extra protection and stability without the added weight of thicker inserts. The XC version is designed for competitive cyclists and less aggressive trail riding, where low weight, speed, and efficiency are the priorities. Weighing just 150 grams for the 29" version, it provides effective protection between the tire and rim while CushCore supports the tire’s sidewalls. This makes the tire more stable in corners and helps reduce the risk of punctures and rim damage when the terrain becomes rocky and technical. CushCore also acts as an extra cushioning layer within the tire. Impacts and vibrations are absorbed before they travel further through the bike, providing a smoother and more controlled feel on rough XC trails. The added stability also makes it possible to experiment with lower tire pressure. This can provide better traction and allow the tire to conform better to roots, rocks, and bumps without the sidewall feeling as unstable in tight turns. According to CushCore’s tests, their system can increase sidewall support by 35%, reduce the force from major impacts by 50%, and provide a smoother, more controlled feel over uneven terrain. The CushCore XC is a great choice for modern XC and downcountry bikes where you want to combine fast-rolling, relatively lightweight tires with extra confidence when the terrain gets rougher.
