Octa Mousse OCT45 XC-Trail-Enduro is a rim and tire protector designed for Tubeless systems. It’s made from lightweight and durable X-TECH technical foam. With Octa Mousse, in addition to protecting the rim, you’ll reduce the dreaded tire bead cuts to nearly 0%; the rim won’t bite into your tire. Its asymmetrical octagonal shape is designed to facilitate the free flow of anti-puncture fluid and make installation easier than with cylindrical systems. The eight contact points provided by its shape offer great stability to the tire casing during cornering and when navigating turns. If you get a flat, you’ll retain approximately 70% of the tire’s volume—a feature that can be vital in competition, giving you the chance to finish the race. It also allows you to ride at lower pressures, thereby increasing grip and braking power.
The high-performance X-TECH foam is waterproof; after extensive laboratory testing, the product is certified to have only 1% water absorption. You’ll also notice that the X-TECH compound feels softer and rebounds more slowly than round-shaped polyethylene foam.
