Tyre Inserts

Tyre Inserts

Tyre inserts are lengths of foam that fit inside your tyre to protect them from big hits. They are becoming increasingly common for mountain bike, gravel bike and even road bike setups. While tubeless tires have increased in popularity, surpassing their tubed counterparts, they are still vulnerable to the possibility of burping out air at high load or while cornering. Tyre inserts are designed to protect tyres and hoops from impacts when a tyre 'bottoms out’ reducing the chance of punctures.

Just like your mountain bike’s suspension system, tyre inserts act as suspension for your tyres, creating a spring and damper within your tyre’s casing. This can dramatically reduce your chances of having a flat tyre and reduce the chances of needing a puncture repair kit. At Kustom Bikes we have a wide range of tyre inserts from leading brands CushCore, Nukeproof, Tannus and Vittoria.
