Continental Speed King RaceSport

The Speed King impresses with its propulsion-oriented tread geometry and therefore has the lowest rolling resistance in the MTB product range. The racing and tuning tyre is mainly used on racing machines and carbon hardtails. This product is the right choice wherever lightweight construction is a priority. It is a competition tyre with reduced mileage.

Technologies:

Black Chilli Compound: Tyres with BlackChili Compound achieve an unprecedented level of performance. Compared to activated silica tires, BlackChili tyres have a 26% lower rolling resistance, a 30% higher static friction value (grip), and a 5% higher mileage.

RaceSport: Uncompromisingly designed for use in mountain bike racing, the RaceSport carcasses combine consistent lightweight construction and noticeably better puncture protection at the highest level. Handmade in Germany, they offer 30% better puncture protection than Supersonic tyres. The construction makes the difference - especially fine and high-quality nylon fabric with elaborate, protective rubber coating and universal foot. Together with the legendary Black Chili Compound, this is the ultimate combination for XC-Race and Marathon.
