Product details:
As a lightweight competition MTB tyre with all-round qualities, the Continental Race King II is a good choice for price-conscious racers. It primarily shows its performance qualities on hard and dry grounds. The versatile and smooth-running tread design of the MTB clincher tyre manages every challenge and impresses with good traction and a secure grip. The tyre’s flat, narrow tread reduces rolling resistance and enhances traction, while the shoulder knobs improve cornering grip. The open tread design provides good self-cleaning properties. For ambitious time triallists, the durable PureGrip rubber compound is a true alternative to Continental’s BlackChili tyres. The three-layer 180 tpi casing underneath the generous tread material promises high puncture protection as well as durability when used in technically challenging terrain. Continental’s Race King is a first-class entry-level clincher tyre with full e-MTB suitability.
- Improving one characteristic often comes at the expense of another
- A tire with a lot of grip wears out faster and rolls slower
- But if the tire has to become faster, or has to last longer, this is at the expense of the grip
- A very good compromise has already been reached with the current, highly advanced silica gel-based technology
- However, the engineers were not yet satisfied
