"Rougher than moonshine brewed in a prison toilet." NICE!! Tannus is the way to go over CushCore. First hand experience with the protection, and installing both...multiple times, and for me, it's not even close when you consider it's half the price and weight! I am interested to see how the other contenders fare, but I'm a believer in Tannus for sure!

  • @flybyguy1450

    If you play the video at .25x speed you can see how the different inserts attenuate the rebound of the tire, with inserts like the vittoria and tannus keeping the tire in contact with the rock the entire time. Important to note though how the rear wheel hits the dirt before the rock on some runs, but for others the tire is free falling when it hits the rock.

    I own a pair of rimpact inserts. My bike has 130/120 mm travel with 35 mm internal width rims and 2.5 Maxxis aggressors in the Exo casing. I bought the originals. Installment was pretty easy, and so far (4-5 months now?) they’ve held up well. I haven’t noticed any difference in sidewall stiffness or anything like that, but my rims are pretty wide and I’m not very sensitive rider. I also haven’t felt any differences in weight, but again, I’m not super sensitive. However they have most definitely saved my rear tire and rims on multiple occasions, and for that I keep them in

    you guys didn't give any thoughts on any of them...I mean granted yes I did slow the footage down and pause it but it wasn't lined up accurately so it was difficult to compare, what I noticed was cushcore and the tannus seemed to be the most supportive followed by the rimpact, then the huck Norris and panzer in last seemingly since they appeared to allow the rock or compression to get much closer to the rim itself, now if they still protect the rims and have other benefits maybe that's not a bad thing so it would have been nice to hear some thoughts after you riding them.

    Been using Tannus Armour tubeless inserts on my 2021 Intense 951 since Jan of this year, and quite honestly both my wheelsets roll quicker with them than without them. (The weight is about the same as running a tube) With “twin air” chambers, everything smooths out, but the bike still feels connected to the ground. Can’t say the same about the other tire inserts.

    I tried Tannus Armour this winter.I don't know how you're saying they're only around 150 grams, mine were around 300 grams each and other reviews suggest the same. It's not just the weight, I am convinced they also add significant rolling resistance by changing the way the tyre deforms as it meets the ground. They made my XC bike virtually unrideable. I persevered for about 6 weeks then gave up and threw them in the bin.

All you are watching is the variation in that approach, nothing to do, or at best completely confounded, with the inserts that are in the tires.
