Continental Cyclocross King RaceSport Tyre

Continental Cyclocross King RaceSport Tyre

Ready for whatever challenges you meet on the trail, this Cyclocross Tyre from Continental offers exceptional control, durability and rolling resistance. Featuring a 32mm width and a durable BlackChilli compound construction, it's ready to tackle tough cyclocross terrain. 

The tall shoulder lugs provide excellent bite even in loose and wet corners and of course, Continental’s special Black Chili rubber compound boosts grip in all situations whether it be hard & dry, cold & wet, roots, off-cambers, grass or stone. When the tyre deforms under impact with the ground, the Black Chili compound absorbs the shock and propels you forward like no other tyre. It's fast, grippy and it lasts as long as a harder compound tyre, giving you great value for money.

They use these rubbers with special nanometric carbon soot particles, which are optimized in shape and surface properties for best uses for the intended tyre. BlackChili Compound reaches an unprecedented performance. Tyres with BlackChili Compound reach an unprecedented level of performance.
