Continental Mountain King ShieldWall TL-Ready 27.5"
Hero on the mountain
Continental have revised their successful ‘do-it-all’ tyre and gave the Mountain King a completely new tread design. The Mountain King III MTB tyre self-confidently follows in the footsteps of the popular predecessor model and offers high grip on dry, rocky and even slightly muddy grounds, thanks to aggressive centre and side knobs. Yet, the tyre’s rolling resistance is also quite impressive. After all, it is indeed a ‘do-it-all’ tyre.
Features
- Sure riding in hilly terrain and also optimal for the touring mountain bike
- Superior grip from its continous central tread and its grippy outer lugs
- The perfect companion for exploring the trails
Technologies
Shieldwall System
Optimally combining high puncture protection with easy rolling and low resistance. Designed from an extra casing layer of finely cross-woven material throughout the tyre (from bead to opposing bead), the ShieldWall helps protect from direct punctures and other damage such as cuts and scuffs to the casing. Despite the extra layer, a perfect fitment and secure sealing allows the tyre to perform flawlessly and with good flexibilty.
Pure Grip Compound
Based on activated silica compounds, this technology was originally intended as an performance level compound, but after intensive development at Korbach Research and Development Department Facility, an advanced new compound with outstanding grip and cross-country properties was developed. This new rubber mix, given the self explanatory name “PureGrip”, is ranked just behind BlackChili Compound and is being used in Performance products both in the road and mountain bike sectors. Whilst providing great grip, it is also long lasting and highly durable – both characteristics of Continental tyres, which are exclusively manufactured in the factory in Hefei.
E-25
For the E-Bike tyre Continental fall back on over 100 years’ experience with moped and motorcycle tires. All of our city/trekking tires are rated to a standard speed of at least 25 km/h. Those tires marked e50 are also certified for S-Pedelecs. With their high quality structure, puncture protection is high and the rolling resistance is low offering protection from premature wear brought about by the additional driving force.
Tubeless Ready
Tubeless Ready tyres can be used both with and without an inner tube. To use it without a tube the tyre is sealed with a special sealant. The revolutionary Tubeless Ready bead allows easier and less complicated assembly of the tyre. All mountain bike tyres from Continental are Tubeless Ready in the ProTection and Performance formats.
