As such, it is ideally suited to the big world of plus-size tires, where the benefits of low tire pressure and large contact patch traction are often challenged by excess tire deformation and less than ideal sidewall support. In addition to damping the tire\u2019s air chamber, enhancing the suspension potential inherent in 27.5+ tires, the new CushCore insert bolsters the tire\u2019s sidewall, ensuring more predictable behavior, reducing tire squirm, protecting rims against impacts, and allowing you to realize the full traction benefits of large tires without the potential downsides.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-187763\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/27.5-PLUS-KIT.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/27.5-PLUS-KIT.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/27.5-PLUS-KIT-566x750.jpg 566w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/27.5-PLUS-KIT-768x1017.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/27.5-PLUS-KIT-831x1100.jpg 831w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlus-sized tires with CushCore make a great setup for riding technical terrain\u201d says CushCore founder Adam Krefting. \u201cYou get the plush ride and extra traction that plus-sized tires are known for, but CushCore controls the bouncy, squirmy feeling that generally comes with a high- volume casing.
