That's a really good point about air volume, and I wonder if there are some similarities to air suspension and tokens/spacers. It seems everyone that chucks loads of tokens into an air fork say the small bump is good, then suddenly there's a wall of progression. With a tyre and insert, there's no damping, so no wonder it bounces back hard and starts oscillating

The comparison made on the Cushcore video or some video I watched about them.
I don't know what tokens are so I'll continue to be ignorant. I also run way to much pressure and then immediately run too little so any impact they have on bounce/handling is rendered useless in my case.

The only downside I’ve found to inserts for more xc/ marathon use is in the back on a hardtail it makes the back wheel Bob (or bounce) over small bumps making it hard to get power down- I assume I was smashing through the small volume of air in my tyres and bouncing off the insert repeatedly. Not a reason not to use them but I’d maybe take it out if I did that race again
