Customers praised this tire insert for excellent rim protection and impact dampening. Riders appreciate running lower tire pressures without rim strikes or sidewall collapse, enhancing confidence on technical terrain. Installation is generally easy, though some found fitting on narrower tires (2.3) challenging. "Feels like cheating" compared to standard setups.

No rim strikes w/ a 2.4 on 30mm at 17psi for 106 miles. ZERO cuts. 5 stars.
Really dampen ride chatter and impacts. Inspire confidence up and down.
Just what I needed to protect my rear tire. Easy to install.

Barzo F / Mezcal R ( XC liner) Combo Trail 2.6 on 35mm ID rim

They are big, fast and really dampen ride chatter and impacts as part of the suspension when tubeless. Cornering and climbing contact patches are awesome once you dial in the psi and inspire confidence up and down. I ride in New England with roots, rocks, leaves and mud. Its closer to 2.7/2.8 on 35mm ID rims. I am a 255 lbs rider full gear on a XL Tallboy LT V1 FS running 21 PSI front and 25 PSI rear. I have the Vittoria XC liner on the rear. Local bike shop mechanic was helping with upgrades and will be buying same tires and liner himself next. Feels like cheating compared to previous non V 2.4 tires and 23 mm ID rims.

great insert

Perfect insert for enduro wheelset or XC. I run these across all 4 of my bikes.

Noticeable Difference

I gave them a proper first run with plenty of berms, rocks, drops and jumps. I'm able to run low tire pressure without the tires rolling or feeling like the sidewall is collapsing and the rim pings were non-existent.

Installation on the front 2.5 was a breeze. Installing on the rear 2.3 was not. I might actually switch to a 2.4 just to make the install a little easier next time.

Awesome product

Just what I needed to have to protect my rear T5 tire on my Stumpy. Great item as usual. Easy to install.

Impressed.

No rim strikes w/ a 2.4 on 30mm at 17psi for 106 miles of the Marji Gesick. Pulled the insert out after the race and ZERO cuts. 5 stars.
