Continental Race King Mountain Bike Tire - Tubeless, Folding, Black, PureGrip, ShieldWall System, E25

Ultra fast on hardpack and gravel, rolled really smoothly. I ran them with tubes, usually around 55–60 psi for pavement and closer to 45 psi for trails, and they handled great at both pressures. They weren’t really asphalt commuters but worked pretty good in a pinch, smooth and quiet enough that I didn’t mind a few miles on the road. I could still feel a bit of vibration from the knobs, but it was much less than I expected for a mountain bike tire. However, grip was MAGICAL on dry and mixed trails. Not so hot through mud or wet/slippery roots, that just wasn’t their thing. Overall an excellent XC tire!

This is a great tire for trail riders that ride to the park. These are great on pavement, roll easy and smooth. I can lean the bike in a corner no issues. The trails I ride are mostly hard pack with loose rocks around. These cross kings have surprisingly good grip in the trails. The tread wears slowly on the street so these tires can last longer than others I tried. There are better tires for off road but for someone who rides both these are really great. I’ve bought 3 now.

Very good

Seems like a decent tire the Trail King 29er, couldn't afford another Mountain King this time around. Good tread for front, real nightmare to mount this tire. It is a nice tire but, took me over 4 hours of constant work, the tire would seal nicely but appeared deformed, re-seated many many times, at length I used soapy water on the rim and inflated to 41 psi, after a few more tries eventually the tire sorted out. Pumping up a MTB tire 20 times in one night is a bit much. If I had thought to use soapy water firstly... My Maxxis Aggressor was one & done, same rim no issues whatsoever with mounting or seating. The Continental has excellent seal and looks really good on the bike. The writing on the tire is all silver. It came cable tied which might have contributed to the difficulty mounting the tire though I gave it 2 days open and never had this sort of tire mounting issue before with a modern MTB tire so, gotta tell ya that was a disappointment. Really a wonderful thing though, new rubber. if I were a bike pro mechanic I would have gotten it right the first time. I used 100ml of sealant, we will see how it does. WTB which doesn't run well through thin injectors.

I run a 2.2 on the front of my 27.5 singlespeed, with a 2.6 Cross King on the back. Depending on your cornering technique (I counterlean when cornering rather than leaning with the bike), it’s fantastic. Light, low rolling resistance, and the side knobs are almost a wall. I don’t run a front brake as it’s pretty flat here, and as I said my cornering technique is almost unheard of but it shouldn’t be. I am always a top ten on every trail segment, at 58, on a single, and I never, ever lose the front. BTW I’m running a bar/ stem that put my hands 10” above the head tube.

Fast rolling and great value

I used these with standard tubes. They grip the road like duct tape on a sweater. Glides turns, grips corners, it's a dream. Worth the price. They come packed folded, not too difficult, just pinch it back into shape. I recommend highly that you partly inflate your tubes before installation, because these tires are soft and flexible and will bead different than normal tires. If you slip one ring on, tuck it, then go all the way around with a tool running the bead in, or by hand if you're stronger, pull it all the way around. Simple enough. I will detail the pros and cons based on my experience in the past month+ of use. Pros: grippy, handles cement, dominates asphalt, manages dirt and rock flatground and trail(poorly, but acceptably considering it's specifically made for pavement), quiet on road, No detectable performance lost in torrential rain or wet conditions, sets up easily, seems to hold air in tubes better, good value. **Disclaimer: bearing in mind that these are specifically designated for road use and using products against manufacturer recommendation isn't advisable** Cons/risks: not suitable for dirt and rock, unacceptably damaged by rock/Rocky soil, abrasive terrain of any kind is 1.5x damaging compared to Kenda standard tires. All things considered, you get exactly what you pay for, exactly what they say it does, all for a reasonable value.

After careful thought, I purchased two of these tires for my mountain bike. When they arrived I immediately checked for any issues (I do that for all tires). The tire is very well made and I like the wall thickness the most. My previous tires were 29x2.1. I had no issues installing this 2.2 tire on my rims. I also used a self sealing tube. I took the bike out for a road test. On concrete, these tires road very smooth and I could feel the grip on the road. I drove thru a little road mud and it performed well. You should be happy if you want this tire for a road bike. I did some dirt riding and they preform very well on a dry dirt/gravel trail. I haven't tested the tires on some rough terrain as of yet, but I think they will preform well. Overall, I really like these tires. One thing I might add for the novice riders. Be sure you mount the tire in the correct rotation. The arrow is on the tire, so match it up with the rotation of the wheel. Don't laugh, my buddy complained about his tires and they were mounted wrong.

This Mountain king is on my front, cross king on the rear. Once the cross king gets worn, will replace with the Mountain king. Very sturdy, already been on the trails 4 times and plenty of grip on low pressure on both loose, wet and dry ground. Well done Continental.

Mal, muy mal, fatal y asqueroso. La mrd de forma que tienen de plegar la cubierta hace que al montarla quede doblada. Da igual que talone bien, el tubelizado, la presion de inflado... El neumatico viene deformado y despues de tubelizarlo y montarlo es una autentica ptd ya que tienes que gastar doble en todo. Muchas gracias no volvere a comprarle nada a este comprador. Y si con suerte te gastas los 31e en medicinas mejor.

Gute Reifen für Asphalt sowie Schotterstraßen

Ottimo Pneumatico, da quando l'ho montato sulla mia ebike è aumentato notevolmente il grip in trazione.

Cuesta un poco talonarla
