The enduro mousse starts out softer than other mousses. Around 0,6 bar/9 psi is the equivalent pressure to a tube. Over time the enduro mousse will get softer. After approximately 50 hours of riding the rear Enduro mousse will start to get softer when used in racing conditions. It will drop to about 0,5 bar/7psi. Reports from top Enduro racers says they experience a better feel and longer life with Airmousse than many other mousses on the market. The Enduro mousses are much softer out of the box than any brand we have made a comparison to.

Yes, there are big differences between some brands! The difference is how large the tire is inside.

For e.g., Bridgestone X40 110-100-18 is quite large inside, and you will need an Airmousse size 140-80-18 for the best fit.

Compared to Mitas C16 110-100-18 which is smaller inside you will need a Airmousse sized 120-90-18.

That depends on several criteria

• Which mousse you use. A softer mousse has a bit shorter life span than a mousse with higher bar/psi.
• Racing conditions. Very tough racing conditions, high speed and heat will shorten the life span of the mousse.
• It’s very important to get the right size of the mousse for your tires. See the Mousse Maximizer Guiden to make sure you get the correct size.
• It is important to follow the instructions for installation of the mousse. It’s also very important to use the silicone gel that is included in your order – or can be purchased separately in our shop. At regular intervals, add more silicone gel to the tires when riding.

It’s very important to use silicone gel when installing a mousse.

The gel prevent friction the mousse and the tire walls. Friction will create heat which shortens the lifetime of the mousse.

All mousses includes a 85-100g gel tube. Use all the lubricant when installing Airmousse. Apply half the tube inside of the tire and the other half to the outside of the mousse. For more installation tips and tricks check out our instruction video for installation here – the Installation Guide.
