Rim Shield Tubeless Tire Insert foam Liner for MTBs

- Run lower tyre pressure for superior grip and traction on rocks, roots, and loose terrain without the risk of pinch flats or catastrophic rim strikes damaging your wheels

- Closed-cell foam construction is fully sealant-compatible and does not absorb tubeless sealant — the sealant stays in the tyre where it belongs and continues doing its job

- Cushions direct rim strike impacts on sharp rocks, roots, and trail craters — protects expensive alloy and carbon rims from cracking, denting, or deforming

- Reduces the air volume inside the tyre for more controlled compression and rebound compared to standard tubeless setups — improving cornering stability, climbing traction, braking feel, and descending confidence simultaneously

- Increases tyre side-to-side stability for sharper cornering without sacrificing tread suppleness and grip — the tread remains soft and conforms to the trail surface

- Run-flat capable — in the event of a major tear or puncture that sealant cannot seal, the Rim Shield keeps the tyre supported so you can ride out safely to the trailhead

- Compatible with any and all tubeless valves on the market — no proprietary hardware required

- Trimmable during installation for a perfect, custom fit around any wheel up to 29 inches (700c) diameter

- Suitable for all types of MTBs — trail, enduro, XC, and downhill — running tubeless setups

Engineered for performance, the Rim Shield Tubeless Tire Insert allows you to run lower PSI for maximum traction and grip without the fear of "rim strikes" or cracked carbon wheels. The Liner insert replaces air volume in the tyre. Designed to improve the performance of a tubeless tyre. Suitable for all types of MTBs. By cushioning impacts, your expensive rim remains protected, while eliminating flats caused by rim-strike impacts. The liner insert replaces air volume in the tyre. The reduced air volume allows the tyre to compress and rebound in a more controlled manner compared to standard tubeless systems. Side-to-side tyre stability is increased, yet the tread remains soft and grippy. This improves cornering, climbing, descending and braking performance. Compatible with any wheel diameter up to 29" (700c), and is designed to be trimmed during install for a perfect fitment around your wheel. It significantly reduces the risk of pinch flats (snake bites) and provides superior sidewall support. Made from lightweight, closed-cell foam, it is fully sealant-compatible and won't absorb liquid. In the event of a major tear, its "run-flat" capability ensures you can reach the trailhead safely. Protect your bike and ride with confidence. 

The Rim Shield works by replacing a portion of the air volume inside your tyre with structured foam. This does three critical things simultaneously: it cushions direct rim strikes before they reach the rim bed; it reduces the air volume so the remaining air compresses and rebounds more predictably under load, giving you more controlled tyre behaviour on rough terrain; and it supports the tyre sidewalls under hard cornering loads, preventing that unpredictable fold or roll that causes washout. The net result is that you can safely run significantly lower tyre pressures than you would dare with standard tubeless — unlocking a level of grip and traction on loose, rocky, and rooty terrain that simply isn't possible at higher pressures. And in the worst case scenario — a tear that sealant alone cannot handle — the Rim Shield's run-flat capability means your tyre stays supported enough to ride out to safety rather than leaving you stranded mid-trail. Compatible with every tubeless valve on the market and trimmable for a perfect fit on any wheel up to 29 inches, the Rim Shield is the upgrade that every serious Indian MTB rider running tubeless should make.
