Protect your rims and improve your performance with Octa Mousse, the Tubeless rim and tire protector.
The Octa Mousse rim protector is a rim and tire protector designed for Tubeless systems. It greatly reduces the risk of those dreaded rim strikes that damage your rim and cut through the tire. Its octagonal shape is designed to improve the circulation of the anti-puncture fluid and makes installation on the wheel easier.
The 8 contact points provide great stability when leaning into turns and cornering. Using it allows you to ride at lower pressures, increasing grip and improving handling; plus, if you get a flat, you’ll retain 70% of the tire’s volume, letting you keep riding and make it home… or win a Carrera!
Discover Octa Mousse’s high-performance X-TECH foam
Octa Mousse is manufactured using X-TECH high-performance foam technology, which is incredibly lightweight and durable, with only 1% absorption. This is essential, as it prevents anti-puncture fluid from accumulating inside. The foam also has a softer feel and a slower rebound compared to traditional round polyethylene Mousses, contributing to a higher-quality ride.
