Are Continental Mountain King tires good?
The Continental Mountain King is a serviceable tire best suited for the rear wheel. Rolling speed is impressive, but cornering, pedaling traction, and braking power are only mediocre.
Is Continental Race King Good for trails?
The low weight combined with the shallow tread design ensures this is a supremely rapid tyre right off the bat. Its tread pattern and rubber compound mean it works well when mounted on the front or rear, with reassuring levels of traction even when tackling technical trails.
Is Continental Race King fast rolling?
Tech features: The Race King is the lightest and fastest-rolling performance mountain tire Continental makes. While the tire is meant to be fast, it’s far from a semi-slick or cyclocross tire. The tread is designed with handling in mind.
Is Continental Speed King tubeless?
Continental MTB tires are available in a Tubeless Ready version: Trail King, Mud King, Mountain King, X-King and Race King. These tires are marked with “ProTection” or “Performance” on the product pages.

The Continental Cross King ProTection mtb tyres are tubeless ready and have a tread with wide studs for optimal traction. The Protection layer also allows the tyre to airtightly connect to a tubeless rim, the latex will do the rest.
What happens if we put tube in tubeless TYRE?
Risk of puncture – The tyres that are specifically designed for tubes consist of a smooth inner surface, while it’s not the case with tubeless tyres. If a tube is placed inside a tubeless tyre, consequently, the tube can rub abrasively due to the roughness of the tyre and cause a puncture.
Why do pros use tubular tires?
Even from a performance point of view, tubular tires make sense for pro racers. A tubular isn’t constrained by the rim sidewalls, so it can flex more. This means that a 25 mm tubular gives you the shock absorption of a 28 mm clincher – useful when you’re descending bumpy mountain passes at speed.
What’s better tubeless or clincher?
In our experience, a tubeless tyre is best run 10-20 psi lower than an equivalent clincher tyre with no degradation in performance. As the trend moves towards wider tyres though, being able to safely run reduced pressures makes a lot more sense.
