As a lightweight competition mountain bike tire with all-round properties, the Continental Race King is a good choice for price-conscious racers. It shows its special performance qualities on hard and dry surfaces. The versatile and smooth-running tread of the MTB clincher tire takes on any challenge and shines with good traction and secure grip. Flat, closely spaced lugs on the tread reduce rolling resistance and optimize grip, while angular shoulder lugs improve cornering grip. The open arrangement also helps with self-cleaning. For ambitious time trialists, the durable PureGrip rubber compound is a real alternative to Conti's BlackChili tires. The three-ply 180 tpi carcass under the lush tread material promises good puncture protection as well as high durability when used on technically demanding terrain. Conti's Race King is a first-class entry-level clincher tire with full E-MTB suitability.
