Introducing CushCore Pro, the original full-performance version that is ideal for E-MTBs. The extra weight of an E-MTB pushes the limits of your wheels, tyres and suspension. But with CushCore installed you can ride with Total Confidence. As our customers say, "It's a no-brainer for E-MTBs."CushCore transforms your tubeless tyre into a suspension system with a tune-able air spring and foam damperA proprietary closed-cell, polyolefin foam controls compression and rebound forces. Its lightweight, ultra durable and impervious to sealantCushCore's patented profile applies constant pressure on the tyre sidewalls. This provides protection and stability even at low tyre pressuresCushCore is designed to fit tight on the rim. This radial tension locks the bead to the rim while maintaining a supple tread patchNot all tyre inserts are created the same. CushCore is no ordinary tyre insert and is based on a new concept, tyre suspension. Any suspension system has a spring and a damper, and with CushCore, pressurised air in the tyre is the spring and the CushCore tyre insert is the damper. Like traditional suspension, a constant damping force wouldn't work. It has to be dynamic. Suspension should be supple on small bumps but firm on the big hits. CushCore responds differently depending on the tyre load and scenario. The more the tyre flexes, the more damping it provides.Go Bigger - CushCore improves suspension performance by 16% and reduces impact force from big hits by 50%. Send it with total confidence.Corner Harder - 35% more sidewall stability eliminates tyre squirm and burping, even at low tyre pressure. Rail corners with total confidence.Ride Faster - CushCore provides a 12% smoother ride and 3% reduced rolling resistance. Ride with more control, more momentum, and less fatigue. It's like taking fewer punches in a fight.Specification:Tyre Widths - 2.1"-2.6"Inner Rim Width - 22mm-35mmWeight - 250g (27.5") / 260g (29")Includes - Set of 2 - (2) CushCore tyre inserts, (2) 44mm CushCore presta air valves, valve core tool, installation instructions and rim stickers

The Masterpiece is over 40% stronger on ultimate strength tests than the strongest production seatposts on the market. Masterpiece posts weigh approximately 40g less than the same size Elite post. This weight reduction is accomplished while maintaining the strength and durability expected of a Thomson seatpost. Thomson accomplishes this weight reduction by machining the seatpost all over, including the oval inner diameter. It is able to hold closer tolerances by machining than by extrusion alone. Machining over an already beautiful design makes the Masterpiece Seatpost a work of art.Machined 7000 series Aluminium41mm seat rail grip lengthTilt adjustment from -5° to +29°Low profile clampsAvailable in 27.2mm, 30.9mm and 31.6mm diametersCertified to: EN 14766 2006 MTBThe tube and head of the Thomson Masterpiece seatpost is integral machined from one piece of high strength 7000 series aluminium. The head is not pressed or bonded in, allowing for superior strength and minimum weight.We have a long 1.614 inch (41 mm) seat rail grip length. This helps prevent seat rail bending from impact loads. Most other seatposts have grip lengths of at least 0.5 inches shorter than our grip length. The Thomson Masterpiece seatpost design incorporates a bending fuse to prevent catastrophic failure. All competitive seatposts we tested failed catastrophically with the seat and clamp components, sometimes pieces of the tube and head flew off in all directions.The Thomson Masterpiece seatpost has a clamp, head and upper tube strong enough to withstand 325 foot-lbs of torque. The tube will start to yield and bend at the seat tube clamp at about 230 foot-lbs of torque. Under severe impact the Thomson Masterpiece seatpost will bend slightly but allow the rider to come to a stop or continue the ride. The Masterpiece seatpost has all parts captive and can easily be attached to a seat without dis-assembly.Very low profile clamps mean no seat interference as the swivel nuts are down between the seat rails. The designs and materials have passed extensive life and ultimate strength tests. Our ongoing testing program ensures that every production lot of seatposts meets Thomson standards.
