Continental Cross King Shieldwall MTB Tire

Versatile competition and trail tire, sure footed in turns and comfortable. Good grip and available with various technologies. Smoothly rolling tire that adapts to any terrain with its special tread.

PureGrip Compound

The advanced new compound.

Based on activated silica compounds, this technology was originally intended as an performance level compound, but after intensive development at Continental's Korbach Research and Development Department Facility, an advanced new compound with outstanding grip and cross-country properties was developed. This new rubber mix, given the self explanatory name "PureGrip", is ranked just behind Continental's BlackChili Compound and is being used in their performance products both in the road and mountain bike sectors. Whilst providing great grip, it is also long lasting and highly durable – both characteristics of Continental tires, which are exclusively manufactured in the factory in Hefei (Asia).

Shieldwall system

The ShieldWall system combines the optimum combination of high puncture protection and the low rolling resistance with low weight. This is made possible by an additional, all-round puncture protection layer, which consists of a finely woven cross fabric. This gives the tire a high resistance to punctures and damage. Despite its additional ply, the tire has a very good damping property and a high degree of flexibility to adapt perfectly to the ground. The revolutionary tubeless ready bead allows easy and uncomplicated mounting of the tire. For best results in sealing and in use, Continental recommend the use of the their RevoSealant sealant.
