The Continental Cross King 29 × 2.2″ Clincher Folding Tire is engineered for riders who want a do-it-all mountain bike tire capable of excelling in both racing and recreational scenarios. Designed with a fast-rolling tread layout, it features small, closely spaced central knobs that reduce rolling resistance for greater speed on packed dirt and smooth singletrack. As the tread transitions toward the edges, the knobs become more pronounced and widely spaced, enhancing cornering grip and control on looser terrain.
The tire uses Continental’s high-performance rubber compound, delivering a unique balance of low rolling resistance, dependable traction, and impressive wear life. This compound ensures that the Cross King performs equally well on dry, dusty tracks and damp, unpredictable trails. The folding bead not only keeps the tire’s weight down but also makes installation and removal easier, while the clincher design provides compatibility with a wide range of standard rims.
With its 29 × 2.2″ profile, the Cross King strikes an optimal balance between speed and stability, making it an excellent choice for cross-country riders who want efficiency on climbs and sprints without sacrificing traction on technical sections. It’s equally suitable for marathon rides, endurance racing, and trail adventures, where versatility and consistent performance matter most.
Whether you’re competing or simply exploring your favorite trails, the Continental Cross King 29 × 2.2″ delivers the confidence, control, and speed to keep you performing at your best in varied conditions.
