Continental Mountain King Protection 26"
The Mountain King has been completely overhauled for 2011. Those who desire a bit more meat for particularly difficult sections choose the Mountain King. Improving on what was excellent soft/loose grip, and now delivering much better all-around performance.By beefing-up the shoulder lugs, and creating more void toward the center lugs - corning has become telepathic. The revised tread design now performs much better in harder, dryer conditions and Black Chili Compound delivers excellent wet performance as well.
The 2.4"-version is recommend to be the new king for tourers, enduro riders and All Mountain riders.The 2.2 Mountain King is the perfect chose for those not requiring larger volume, but demanding aggressive traction with relatively low rolling resistance and lighter weight. It does well virtually everywhere - in cross country races, marathons, or all day trail rides. It is slightly lighter than its bigger brother without sacrificing its outstanding qualities.
Protection-Technology:
ProTection technology provides tires with the perfect combination of smooth running, grip, and puncture protection. This is made possible by an additional puncture protection layer encircling the tire which makes it extra tough and resistant to damage all around. Despite the additional layer, the tire has an excellent dampening effect and provides clean bracing action along the toughest trails. Black Chili provides the required smoothness of running and grip. An additional feature of the German ProTection technology is the Tubeless Ready capability. The Revolution Tubeless Ready base enables easy and straightforward assembly of the tire. For optimal results with the seal and during use, we recommend use of the new Continental RevoSealant.
