Continental Unisex Adult Mountain King II 2.2 Performance Tyre - Black, Size 26 x 2.2

Product Information

Continental relies only on the most reliable materials and technologies. As all-mountain tyres with Enduro ambitions, they are the perfect companion for sporty rides in mountainous terrain or on mountain bikes. Here is a comparrison chart for traditional and ETRTO sizing to help you choose the correct tyre size. ETRTO Number As the name suggests, Apex tires get teardrop elastomer protection embedded in the sidewalls for low-pressure stability and impact damping. It’s built into a six-ply carcass with a super secure steel bead for surviving the most brutal DH and bike park use. That makes Apex tires about 30 percent heavier than a Protection Apex though. Better than ever before, the new Continental ProTection casing. The extra all-round puncture protection layer renders the casings especially durable and insensitive to damage or penetration from foreign elements. Treads and sidewalls are equally protected, and are 25 % lighter and offer 30 % more puncture protection than their predecessors protected by DuraSkin®. Rolling resistance and absorption has also significantly improved. The new Made in Germany technology allows it to withstand even the hardest trails across the world. Better tread and compound technology, plus trail centers to ride when it’s really minging, mean that super-specific sloppy trail tires are relatively rare now, but Continental’s Mud King is still available if you want one.

Apex takes the ProTection carcass and adds a teardrop section elastomer strip from the bead to the tread edge to increase tire damping and reduce the chance of snakebite rim punctures at low pressures. This unique tread rubber mixture which is only produced in our German factory has revolutionised bicycle tyres. ProTection goes four-ply under the tread and three-ply on the sidewalls, with an added layer of Cordura to stop cuts and sharps rupturing the tire. It gets a ‘flag design’ on the sidewall for rub resistance and it’s now properly, easily tubeless-ready.The lightest carcass in the Continental line-up wraps a 60tpi nylon weave so it’s triple under the tread and double on the sidewalls. According to Continental, that makes it 30 percent more puncture resistant than previous Supersonic tires, but it’s around 75g lighter than ProTection versions of the same tires. Race Sport Bernstein is a brown wall version for fashionable types. The rubber liner still isn’t tubeless compatible on either though. One is the traditional size like 700x28c or 27.5x2.2. The first figure is the tyre diameter(size). The second is tyre width. Note: road bike sizes are in mm, MTB sizes are in inches. We’d advise against using Continental’s own Revo Sealant though, as it struggles to seal bigger holes unless you add some extra particulate to it, plus it’s expensive. IMPORTANT: If you sign that the item as 'has been received in good condition' you will have no claim later if the product is found to be damaged.

Continental continuously develops the tyres to ensure the perfect riding experience on your mountain bike. For this purpose, Continental relies only on the most reliable materials and technologies. Perfect grip on any surface, Continental is just good enough. If you return something due to it not fitting or being suitable, you will need to pay the postage costs to return it to us. In terms of performance, the biggest advance introduced with the latest generation of Continental tires has been that they're finally sorting out their tubeless tech. After years of fighting and failing to get them to inflate and stay up, met with a mix of denial and tortuous setup procedure instructions, their latest tires are right up there with the best in terms of easy setup and consistent sealing.You want to leave at least 4mm clearance between your frame and tyres to prevent rub and allow for mud clearance. The other set of figures you may see is ETRTO sizing like this 28-622. The first number here is tyre width while the second number relates to wheel diameter.
