The Continental Race King Tire is a fast-rolling cross-country mountain bike tire designed for riders who demand speed, efficiency, and reliable grip on dry to mixed terrain. Its low-profile tread pattern minimizes rolling resistance, helping you accelerate quickly out of corners and maintain momentum on hardpack trails, gravel paths, and race courses. Carefully shaped knobs provide confident cornering and predictable handling, while the closely spaced center tread keeps the ride smooth and efficient over long distances.
Built with Continental’s renowned rubber compounds and casing construction, the Race King Tire balances durability with performance, making it a favorite for marathon XC events, training rides, and everyday trail use. It is commonly available in tubeless-ready versions, allowing riders to run lower pressures for improved traction and comfort while reducing the risk of pinch flats. Whether you are chasing podiums or simply want a quick, responsive tire for your cross-country or light trail bike, the Continental Race King delivers a proven blend of speed, control, and reliability.
