No matter if ist on its own or teamed with Race and Mountain King, the super-light X-King easily covers many uses, ranging from cross country/race to All Mountain. The X-King simply leaves its competitors behind. Its Black Chili Compound offers a solid grip and is self-cleaning. The shoulder lugs provide absolute stability in curves negotiated at high speeds.

BlackChili Compound

Continental refine newly developed synthetic rubbers with natural rubber with the proven high-performance tread compound. They use these rubbers with special nanometric carbon soot particles, which are optimized in shape and surface properties for best uses for the intended tyre. BlackChili Compound reaches an unprecedented of performance. Tyres with BlackChili Compound reach an unprecedented level of performance. Compared to the previous best Activated Silica Compound, BlackChili tyres have 26% less rolling resistance, a 30 % higher friction value (grip) and a 5% increase in mileage.

RaceSport

Designed without compromise for use in mountain bike racing: The RaceSport casings combine consistent lightweight construction and noticeable superior puncture protection at the highest level. In cooperation with renowned professional mountain bikers, Continental has created the perfect basis for competition tyres. Handmade in Germany, they offer rolling friction and puncture protection of World Cup quality. The structure makes the difference: a particularly fine and flexible nylon fabric with elaborately manufactured protecting rubber lining and universal base. Together with the legendary BlackChili Compound, this is the ultimate combination of XC and Marathon Race performance.

About the Continental brand

More than 100 years experience in the development and production of bicycle tyres has made Continental a unique company within the industry. Continental is the only German bicycle tyre manufacturer to produce its tyres in Germany. Knowing this serves as a mighty incentive to our engineers and everyone else involved in the manufacturing process to constantly strive for further innovations. In our technology and development center in Korbach, we are constantly developing new revolutionary technologies such as the unbeatable Black Chili Compound and the ultimate Vectran™ Breaker anti-puncture technology, both used at the top end of race sport. These technologies demand sophisticated processes to ensure our legendary end-product quality, and these innovations as well as the new “ProTection” and ”RaceSport” technology for MTB tyres, can only be manufactured in our factory in Germany – “Handmade in Germany”. In order to offer the best tyre for any application, we rely equally on dialogue with our professional racers, hobby cyclists and everyday bike riders. This results not only in high-end products for top sports applications such as the new Podium TT or the revolutionary downhill tyre “Der Kaiser”, but also tyres for everyday use like the new innovative combination EcoContact/EcoContact Plus as a companion to the latest e-bike trend. As a global player, Continental also maintains high-tech production facilities outside of Germany, where Continental tyres are produced for you with an equal degree of care and dedication. One thing all Continental bicycle tyres have in common is that they are developed in the technology center in Korbach, Germany, where they also undergo strict inspection. Our heart and soul is behind the phrase “Handmade in Germany”, with all of its products and technologies.

Continental Cross King Folding MTB Tyre - RaceSport is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 4.
Rated 4 out of 5 by TherealNewbers from Great wet weather, winter tyre not tubeless I wasn't paying attention and bought a RaceSport version rather than ProTection. In fairness Continental don't say it's tubeless. It took two weeks of regular pumping shaking and storing in the warm to get it to hold pressure for more than a couple of hours. I could not see evidence of any leaks but it was very frustrating. Where I'm riding it's mud and roots at the moment and I like the way the tyre rides + it's quite light but next time I'll go for the ProTection version or maybe to something else which is easier to mount (these come up tight).

Rated 4 out of 5 by AMW123 from Extra grip for slipping and sliding :) Have race king but needed more grip to avoid more pain. This tyre sorted me out completely:) Love this range

Rated 5 out of 5 by Trailrider77 from Fast light tyre Good summer tyre. the 26" 2.2 I ordered weighs 505grams on my digital scales, so not quite as light as claimed in spec.. but pretty close. Compound feels good on hardpack trails. Fast rolling.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Johnny931 from Really fast delivery in these challenging times. The products arrived really quickly which was a little surprising given the routine delays to other deliveries due to COVID-19. Goods were packaged well and arrived undamaged. As always with Conti tyres, you get a great product that's fit for it's intended use. Easy to fit and although there's only a few hundred miles of use on them at present, there's no sign of excessive wear.
