- What an interesting day testing out Cush Core for the first time. Check out how it went and what it can do, I was blown away. Make sure you give the video a like if you enjoy the testing vids! Cheers

That surprised me as well. The video was great!!!
Thanks for all the Optic info and thanks for the info on the Cush Core, well done! I’ll definitely be trying out a set soon!
No worries my pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Sick video dude the cush core is king definitely looking forward to trying it out!!
Yes dude!
Was considering running cushcore. Just brought a set because of this video. Thanks dude!
Yo! That’s awesome, I’m glad!
I had no idea wether it was going to be close, but you just crushed that time! I am blown away behind my screen!!
✌🏽
Sick dude! I've been running Nukeproof ARDs and definitely feel they make a difference, especially when running less than 20 psi!
Nice!
Never even considered inserts before. A complete game changer! 👍
👌🏽👌🏽
They definitely give more confidence smashing into things
Totally
Hey Lewis, great video content as usual. I’ve got cushcore pro in the rear and XC up front. They say you can drop 5 psi from normal. I run 16F and 20R and feels great, like an free extra 10mm of travel. Might go lower after seeing this!
Hey Colin, nice feedback! I think maybe pro set in front and rear is a bit much. But I’d be keen to try Xc up front and pro in rear! Cheers
Awesome video man! Great testing and this is what companies need to showcase what works and why it makes a real life difference 💯✌🏼
Thanks!
They are nice! Running 18/16 in the dry and 14/12 in the wet. Never folded a tire, way more confident. They are heavy and expensive though, using the xc version in the front is an option. I wouldn’t ride without them anymore... Ah yes, and you skipped the pain of putting them on 😂
Sick riding 🚀
Thanks!
Great video, might have to go try a pair after that!
Thanks Jamie! It’s interesting for sure! I’d recommend for sure. Link to more info is in the description of the video!
Yeah I find my 2.6 enduro casings (using nukeproofs inserts now) can get real low when I just CBA to check pressure after a bit sometimes, I honestly find about 12-14 front 16-18 rear is my absolute lowest on that width without any squirming at all. But it feels amazing when its at that sweet spot in pressure and seems quicker to my mind when it dampens the small chatter a bit more.
Keep playing with it, it's all subjective and will change depending on terrain anyway is what I figure.
Edit...Should probably say this only applies at race weight and when I'm a bit on the "eaten too many mince pies" side it does not work anywhere near the same.
Haha thanks for ya input!
I started running cushcore a couple of weeks ago and I can definitely tell a difference. It fells like my bike pops off rocks and roots while absorbing the big hits.
Hell yeah
Great video for some insight. I run the nukeproof ard inserts and run my tyres at 16f and 18r. I'd be really interested to see what pressures you end up running on your race bike
ThNkz dude
Class vid. Really interesting! Making me want to try them haha
Thanks, click the link in the description and read up on it!
@@LewisBuchanan ill have a look
👌🏽
I love running my tyres soft, I tend to run my tyres around 15psi / 16psi. Might try lower just to play around with, but love the feeling of soft tyres especially down techy trails :)
💪🏼💪🏼
My friend runs 6.2! And I never believed him till I seen it in person and tried it. The grip is unbelievable
Crazy huh!
when will you do a dvo setup video because I have dvo too and would really like some tips for setting it up
Hopefully sometime soon! I’m waiting to do testing myself haha
@Ewan Wright don’t hesitate to contact the guys at DVO. If you’re in the States give them a call and you’ll likely get then owner who’ll be happy to help get you sorted. If you overseas than shoot them an email. They’re customer service is excellent.
Thanks ian. Yeah Ewan hit them up with any questions via email or Instagram etc. They are a great helpful bunch!
All the same it would be great to watch you going through your setup
Cool video!. I'm running Cushcore front and rear for the first tine and I think I'll try dropping a few more psi too and see how it feels. I'm sure they'll be a point of diminishing returns. Will you adjust your suspension settings if you're going to run at lower pressures as well or leave as previously set up?
Thanks! I’ll just leave my settings tbh ok my suspension
Nuts!
👌🏽
Running 18-21 psi front-rear for muddy techy ride with cushcore and thats awesome
🤌🏼👌🏽👌🏽
I’ve been running Cush core for 2 years it takes away the pingyness of high pressure and it makes the tyre pressure ramp up like a volume spacer in an air shock. My thoughts with flat protection are tyres are like a balloons the higher the pressure the easier it is to pop a tyre
Nice! Good insight
Just took my cush core out last night after running them for over a year to see if i would notice the weight difference, it was time to replace the sealent. Went for a spin round Glentress and the bike was skittering all over. I'll put them back on next asap. Dont think ill run that low of a pressure though😂😂😂
Nice haha!
I’ve been running the XC version in my race wheels and the difference has been staggering, so great to see your timed runs and the improvements they bring. Based on my experiences, I’ve opted to drop my pressures. Will you be considering the same?
Nice! Thanks for commenting. Yeah I will for sure drop my pressures
Sick video, have u ever thought about racing dh👍🤟
Yeah I used to race DH World Cup for years. But I wouldn’t return, pretty happy where I’m at and what I’m doing
Wow ok. So I’m 86kg (190lbs) And always ran 23psi front 27psi rear. And now with cushcore I just dropped 2 psi so 21-25. This has got me thinking maybe I can try drop and an other 2 psi and try 19-23. I’m keen to see your final psi settings! Be looks like we have Similar starting pressures
Nice! Give it a shot
Iv been telling anyone that will listen this since I got a set, I smash in to stuff on a hardtail with crazy low pressures
👌🏽
I already was interested in trying and now even more! 😁
Hell yes
What tires? I paused the video around 7:00 and rear looks like a DHF 29x2.6WT max grip 3C DH casing? Same tire on front? Thanks. Nice video!
2.5 dh casing minion DHF front and rear! Thanks
What about a run with something like 16psi?
Wow I think I gotta buy some Cush core
Hell yeah
Have the CushCore Pro on my DH bike, while I ride at +25 PSI I still really love them but I might try 20 psi at 85 kgs. What do you think for CushCore XC for my Optic ?
I think Cush core Xc could work nice
Dude i recently started running low pressure up front but holy cow 9 psi???
Yeah it’s a bit overkill but it was interesting
Would be interesting to know which tyre carcass you’ve been running. EXO+, DD, DH....?
DH casing
@@LewisBuchanan I deinstalled mine in weekend. Couldn’t seal my front wheel on the spoke holes, eben with ne rim tape. In the past I didn’t had any issues with that. But changed my sealant and I think that sealant is to viscous to get below CC when it’s sitting tight on rim. After removing everything worked perfect 😢
Any ideas on how to pick up a norco bike? Can't seem to find any.
Website or try distributors on their website
So if you have a tire burp down to something like 10 psi during a race run, do you typically pull over and air it up or just run it and hopefully not flat? Without cushcore I mean.
Just hope it doesn’t go flat. If you have an insert then it’ll help keep the bead on etc and protect your rim too
@@LewisBuchanan I wonder if the reduced air volume has any negative effects. Increase the progessiveness of the air inside the tire should make the psi spike much more when you have a big case. I know I've just blown off a brand new tire and cushcore, and I've never blown a tire before. But I did gain 20kg during quarantine hahaha
What bike park îs this ?
i think i'll get some cush core :D
Yewwww
am i right to assume that (before 14:43 you mentioned squirming in relation to low tire pressures) cush core stopped it?
In a snowed over Seattle, I reduced my front and rear tire pressure to less than or equal to 15PSI (I typically run 20 front and 30 rear because I'm only 120lbs, and a tarmac commuter that abuses my bike when he am able to), but my front tire's tubeless valve wasn't fastened correctly, so air was slowly leaking out and i had a wobble/squirm at the end of my commute worse than when there is not enough spacers inbetween the headset cap and the bearings, if you know what i mean.
Yup! I get what you mean
Hey Lewis. Do you feel the weight of the cushcore ?
yes with dh cush core. xc cush core - not really
9? Hmm that rim protection is definitely a pro but I can’t be bothered to mount tyres with a Cush core, did it once with a buddy but I don’t want to do that again
There is technique to putting them on!
Getting them of, that's the hard part.
I have heard haha
Side cutters get the tyre off pretty quick if you ask me... just cut the bead / side wall 1inch and done
yes lew
🙏🏼
I know that you can’t say anything about the range yet cause of the embargo, but if you can confirm that it will only be in carbon would be great because I want it but carbon it’s not on my budget!
It’s Carbon only.
@@chadsugden411 Well then I’ll have to go for the Meta Am 29 ( when I have the money), shame though Coil shock, high pivot, aurum looking thats a dream bike if they’d made it on aluminum they would sell lots more
Gabriel 99 I’m just going off what my local bike shop told me. AM 29 is great bike. If you can get one...
@@chadsugden411 yeah my shop just showed me one by accident but on forums people say only carbon but I really wish they’ll make aluminum, but if not AM 29 ride for 3000$ is a good deal, are you interested on the range?
Gabriel 99 I sold my giant trance back in December I was keen on the meta am 29 but couldn’t get one till august so I ordered a nukeproof mega and was told it would be here in 4 weeks, but it kept getting delayed month after month after month so I went into a local bike shop and was considering waiting for the Norco range but when I heard it was carbon only and start price around $7000 AUD I went the Norco sight they had on the shop floor and rode out that day. And told nuke proof to give my deposit back, I was bikeless for 4 months... I just wanted to ride. And to my surprise the shorter travel bike rides like it’s got way more travel then160 - 150. Shuts on the giant that had Similar travel... getting a bike these days is the big issue and in the end determined my choice
What about climbing
Swear I've seen this before
Yo
🤙🏽
You definitely won't like the low psi tires.. you'll be squirming all over the place lol
I didn’t mind it haha! Less squirm with Cush core inside
I'd get a puncture even if i sat on my bike with 9 psi
😂
MY EYES !!! Paint those lowers black. I did
Haha. Gotta run the green, part of my contract with dvo. I dig the colour anyway
@@LewisBuchanan I know man I’m just playin. Sik riding.
Thanks!
Them green lowers are sick! Who wants black lowers these days 🤣🤣🔥🔥
