What is mousse, really?
Mousse is not a hose. It's the revolution in your tire .
Instead of air, mousse uses a foam-like material – made from a dense elastomer – that simulates a constant tire pressure of around 0.8–1.1 bar.
In other words: you can never get punk.
But it's not just about safety. It's about grip, control, and confidence when it matters most.
Why do motocross and enduro riders use mousse?
- To avoid punk in the forest.
- To be able to push harder in competitions.
- To get a smooth, predictable grip.
With mousse in your tires, you don't have to guess at tire pressure or worry about popping the tube on the next cairn. You get consistent performance, every meter.
Mousse vs. hose – what's the difference?
| Hose | Mousse | |
|---|---|---|
| Tire pressure | Varying | Constant (approx. 0.8 bar) |
| Risk of punk | High | Zero |
| Comfort | Okay | High |
| Performance | Good | Extreme |
| Price | Low initial |
Worth every penny |
Conclusion? Slang is for everyday riders. Mousse is for those who are serious.
How long does mousse last?
It depends on how you drive.
A rider who tears up hardcore enduro every weekend will get a few months of aggressive riding out of it. A recreational rider who rides forest trails could get 6 months or more.
But the key is proper installation and maintenance.
All SpeedGrip mousses come with silicone gel, brush and protective gloves – everything you need for optimal longevity.
How do you install mousse?
It may sound advanced – but it's easier than you think.
Here is a quick overview:
-
Spread silicone gel evenly into the tire and onto the Mousse (use the brush).
-
Press mousse into the tire.
-
Install the tire as usual.
