Nitromousse: mousse inserts and gel for your wheels

Nitromousse develops foam mousse inserts for off-road motorcycle wheels. The brand’s conventional mousse inserts replace the air-filled inner tube. Browse Nitromousse mousse inserts to compare references before choosing the combination suited to your tyre.

Your choice depends on the type of riding and the wheel, tyre and mousse combination. First identify the system you intend to fit and consult the exact product page: sharing a brand or looking similar does not guarantee that two references are interchangeable.

Platinum, Plushie and 5150: differences when choosing

Platinum offers a feel the manufacturer compares to 10–12 psi; the softer Plushie, intended for technical terrain at low speeds, is compared to 6–8 psi. These are equivalent feel ratings, not adjustable air pressures in a conventional mousse insert.

The 5150 family is used together with the Tubliss system. Its 5150 Platinum and 5150 Plushie versions must be distinguished from a conventional mousse insert that replaces the inner tube. Check the application and the specific instructions for the combination before installation.

Installation and choosing the right reference

NitroLube mounting gel is a silicone lubricant that reduces friction and heat build-up. The brand advises against soap-based tyre mounting pastes. Follow the lubrication instructions and check the condition of the assembly when changing the tyre.

The official fitment guide cross-references the tyre brand, model and size, as well as rim width. Two tyres with the same nominal size may require different references. Check these details and the installation procedure; do not choose by wheel diameter alone.
