Rim Damage
Hurts.
Rim Damage is
Annoying, Expensive & Avoidable
Nothing's worse than making a mistake in a rock garden and hearing that dreaded ping of a rock hitting your rim. Air starts gushing from your tire, and you look down to see a cracked rim that won’t hold air. Your ride is over, and now you’re facing another costly repair. Hopefully, it didn’t happen during a race run or on a long-anticipated bike trip.
The Problem
Your tire isn't good at protecting your rim.
A tire is great at gobbling up terrain and giving you grip, kind of like your bike's suspension. But your bike's suspension has a bottom-out bumper to protect your frame when you blow through its travel on big hits. Your tire doesn’t have this. You blow through your tire’s travel often, letting the rock smash into the rim and just hoping it won’t break.
Introducing
Rim Saver
Rim Saver is an impact protection system for your rim and tire. Easy to install and lightweight, Rim Saver is engineered to take the impact so your rim and tire don't have to.
19% Increase in Impact Strength
Protect your rims and tires with 19% more impact strength! Rim Saver uses a lab-tested, energy-distributing polymer to cushion sharp impacts, preventing cracks, dings, and pinch flats.
Easy to Install
Installing Rim Saver is simple with our patent-pending tensioning technology. It stays securely in place without interfering with tire installation. During setup, Rim Saver moves out of the way of your tire bead, and once installed, it cinches snugly into position.
Easy to Live with
Rim Saver extends the life of your wheels without the downsides of foam inserts. It won’t pack out, soak up sealant and get heavier with use. It doesn’t affect rolling resistance, so you’ll barely notice it’s there—until it saves your rims.
I've been using the Rim Saver for a few months now, and it's a game-changer! Installation was quick and easy, and it doesn't add any noticeable weight to my bike. I forget it's there until I hit a few rough spots (intentionally or not) where I would have normally worry about rim dents, the Rim Saver has been keeping my wheels in perfect condition. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to extend the life of their rims!

In Tahoe, fast, straight, dusty descents result in a lot of unforeseen square edge impacts. Since installing Rim Saver, I’m charging into the dust clouds with more confidence that my ride won’t end in a flat, and with lower psi to link up on the NorCal moon dust. Plus it was the easiest insert install that I’ve ever done.

This year, I downsized from an enduro to a 130mm trail bike. Rim Saver has kept me riding the same chunky terrain as before with the confidence that I won't wreck my rims with the added force.
