Bicycle tire lever test: With its unusual design, the Cush Core Bead Dropper stands out clearly from conventional tire levers. The strikingly designed handle is intended to ensure very comfortable working thanks to its ergonomic design. We took a closer look at this special bicycle tire lever, on which the manufacturer offers a lifetime guarantee, in the test.
Cush Core Bead Dropper: First impression
The Bead Dropper focuses on the essentials: the efficient assembly and disassembly of bicycle tires with maximum comfort. The design of the tire lever is presented accordingly. The shovel is designed to be wide and stable; the rounded corners in combination with the plastic ensure gentle work. Also striking is the thickness and construction of the lever, which prevents the material from bending or giving way. The biggest special feature of the tire lever, however, is the rubberized handle, which can be gripped almost like a handlebar grip. This ensures maximum grip strength when working.
The bicycle tire lever in the test
The unusual design doesn't promise too much. The bead dropper fits perfectly in the hand and the shovel can be pushed firmly under the tire bead. No other tire lever in our test series provides such a comfortable and pleasant grip. Of course, this also promotes power conversion. The design of the shovel with the rounded corners, in combination with the plastic, ensures that work is gentle on the material. Help in the form of a second lever is only required if the tires are very tight and the tire beads are stubborn.
