I got the Octamousse inserts for my gravel bike. As a bigger guy, just as with my enduro bike pre-inserts I was choosing between flat protection and ride quality. With inserts I can finally get both. My gravel bike rides 100% better with the inserts. I bet the CC are a bit tougher and more suitable to extreme conditions than the lightweight Octamousse. My gravel bike is more of a road bike extended with 42mm tires, not a monster gravel-bikepacking rig with 50mm tires.
