Continental Race King UST falt 26x2.0 / 2.2
Even faster, even cleaner, even safer - these factors will be vital for the Race King in 2011.
The Race King is a proven champion over and over. A low-profile pattern that rolls faster than most, but is open enough to handle a wide range of condition, and also readily shed mud when conditions change rapidly. Of course benefiting from the latest Black Chili Compound, Race King rolls effortlessly and in combination with either ProTection or RaceSport casing is a world class champ.
Just ask 2-time World Cross Country Champion - Irina Kalentieva, she chooses Race King exclusively.

Universal System Tubeless (UST)
- Tubeless tires by Continental work with both UST and Rigida / Nagesti rims and wheels.
- Tire and rim form an airtight chamber. A tube is not necessary and pinchflats not possible anymore.
- In comparison to the system with tube the tire pressure can be chosen lower. The comfort of the ride increases.
- At a lower tire pressure the tire deflects more. The contact patch of the tire increases and the tread adapts to the ground better. Tubeless tires allow decreased air pressure and therefor deliver more traction.
- The airtight layer on the inside of the casing can be repaired with ordinary patches just like a tube
