Continental Mountain King Performance 27.5in Tire

Mountain King Performance Tire

Continental´s Mountain King Performance tire is the perfect trail riding companion for a wide range of terrain. Using snappy central knobs and tall grippy outer knobs, the Mountain King has no shortage of braking and cornering traction on dry, mixed, loose, and even wet conditions. It uses a lower-volume casing than Continental´s other aggressive trail tire, the Trail King, but the Mountain King´s tread pattern does a bit better when the trails are wet.

The Trail King Performance uses a compound called PureGrip, which is one step below their famed Black Chili compound when it comes to grip and rolling speed, but is claimed to have a longer wear life due to the firmer rubber, and comes in at a considerably lower cost. Despite lacking the heavy-duty Protection layer found on their top-tier tires, the dense 3-layer casing and honeycomb sidewall design do a good job fending off punctures and slices from jagged rocks. And of course, it´s tubeless-ready, letting you run lower tire pressure for more traction and smoother damping, as well as the peace of mind that comes from a self-sealing tubeless system.
