Nuetech Nitromousse 5150 Plushie for Tubliss systems
The Nuetech Nitromousse 5150 Plushie is a soft half-mousse insert engineered to work together with the Tubliss system in the rear between the tire carcass and the high-pressure Tubliss inner bladder, it adds a cushioned, pneumatic feel while dramatically increasing rim protection, stability and traction in demanding off-road conditions.
Key features
- Plushie (soft) compound tuned for an exceptionally compliant feel that mimics very low air pressure, providing outstanding grip and comfort on technical terrain and hard enduro tracks.
- Half-mousse profile designed specifically to be used in combination with Nuetech Tubliss rear wheel systems, enhancing their puncture resistance and sidewall support.
- Enables extremely low, or even zero, operating tire pressure while maintaining structure and stability, for maximum traction over roots, rocks and loose climbs.
- Channeled crown design accommodates sealant and promotes a more progressive, pneumatic-like feel as the tire loads and unloads under acceleration, braking and cornering.
- Significantly increases protection for the rim and tire carcass against square-edged hits, sharp stones and hard landings, helping to reduce the risk of pinch-type damage.
- Supplied with NitroLube mousse lubricant to minimize internal friction and extend service life of the insert.
- Compatible with 18 in and 19 in off-road rear tires in the 110–140 mm width range, covering a wide selection of modern enduro, hard enduro and trail tires.

Typical applications
This insert targets off-road motorcycles already equipped with a Nuetech Tubliss system where additional rim protection, traction and ride comfort are required from the rear wheel setup.
- Extreme and hard enduro stages featuring steep climbs, ledges and slow, technical obstacle sections.
- Forest singletrack with roots, embedded rocks and repeated square-edged impacts.
- Riding and racing in low-traction conditions such as wet roots, slick rock slabs, mud and loose, choppy climbs.
- Use cases where minimizing rim damage and reducing the likelihood of pinch-related tire failures is a priority.
Performance characteristics
The Plushie compound delivers a notably softer and more forgiving ride compared with firmer mousse options, allowing the rear tire to deform and conform to irregular terrain without feeling vague or combined with the Tubliss high-pressure inner bladder, the 5150 insert improves lateral support, straight-line stability and bump absorption, while still transmitting precise feedback from the ground.
The channeled crown profile also promotes consistent distribution of sealant inside the tire, supporting self-sealing of minor punctures and contributing to a smoother, more progressive response as load is applied and released through corners, acceleration zones and braking bumps.
