I needed to replace the two original tires from my Cannondale mountainbike, and chose the CrossKing. I really wanted the TrailKing, but they didn’t have the size to fit my wheels, but in the end, I think I like the CrossKing more than if I had got the full-on mountainbike tire. I found the CrossKing tire excellent in all conditions except loose dry sand, which is less than 1% of my riding. On the asphalt road surface (75% of my riding) the tire performs really very well, and is noticeably more grippy in the turns than my old tires. Off-road, I have no complaints, and it works just about as well as any full off-road tire I have used. I haven’t really been out much in the wet — the one time I did a wet road it felt stable and secure,

Continental Mountain Bike ProTection Tire - Black Chili, Tubeless, Folding Handmade MTB Performance Tire 26 x 2.2. I think I saw another version somewhere that is not made in Germany.I put these on my old S-Works team edition bike. Ned Overend replica.Had 26 x 1.95. I have a a few different tires on the bike but nothing like the Cross King. Decided to go with 26 x 2.2. It fit with adequate clearance. I was using SCHWALBE Big Ben Race but needed more grip. I put this on the front and it seems to pull the bike It actually feels like it has less rolling resistance then the SCHWLALBE. I love the way it feels like it is floating over the bumps.Going with the bigger size made it roll over rocks and stuff with ease.

This is for the Cross King tire. I bought the 29x2.3 Cross King size, and unlike previous versions, this runs true to size. It was easy to mount with an air compressor and a tube. I chose to put a tube in it, hit it with the compressor and let it sit for a couple of hours. That forms the bead better, and allows you to dismount the tire, pull the tube out and set them up tubeless with no issues. I use the Bontrager blue sealant and it does well with no leakage through the sidewall. I think that’s the biggest change over the older X Kings. On the trail they are fast rollers with good grip in hard pack. Georgia trails have a high level of packed clay and gravel, and these tires do well.

Tire fits like a glove, that being said make sure to add a little soap and water to the bead before inflating with air to ensure correct seating. Ignore the review that Continental tires are Hit or Miss, I believe the person did not know how to seat Tire correctly. On my first attempt to seat the tire the bead did not pop on the rim correctly which made it appear wobbly on the rim. I simply deflated Tire added solution of dish soap and water and re-inflated the tire and is seated perfectly at around 45 PSI. Runs true with no wobble now. Great all-around Tire for front and rear.

I used tv screen cleaner as a lubricant to seat.I am using tubes, didn't want to try tubeless on these rims. May have worked the way they seated.They look fantastic but no trail use yet. Will update after a few rides when trail dry.I replaced the Nobby Nics Performance because I bit it bad twice loosing grip.

Love this tire so far. Purchased the 27.5 x 2.3 and the sizing is correct. Grip is excellent and feels great to ride (smooth despite the knobby tread). I've used this tire for close to 100 rides on both trails and asphalt and it has been excellent. Next to no wear at this point. The grip is excellent in both wet and dry conditions. Goes through mud quite well. I will definitely continue to buy this tire.

I actually was going to buy the mountain kings, but for some reason those are way to expensive right now. I couldn't be happier with the cross kings, they have less rolling resistance than the mk, and almost equal grip!, and the difference is notable between pure grip and blackchilli compounds, there is more grip and less rolling resistance on the latter. (i had mk with pure grip)

The packaging arrived in perfect condition. I bought this tire to put on the rear wheel of my bike and it didn't disappoint. Very good grip on loose sand and good rolling on tar. Provides security on the fast rails.

I like the durability of this tire. Seems well constructed and doesn't leak. Performance seems good. Was a little tight getting it on but seems like a really good tire.

I set them up tubeless and they’ve been holding air very well. Lightweight and good traction. First time using Contis on a mountain bike and overall very happy.

I like the close grouping of the nobs in the center of the tire, giving it good it good feel on pavement, but still provides good traction off pavement.

This tire is amazingggg. Then again.... I came from nylon tires. Rolling is easier and I can feel the tire gripping the ground as I ride through it.

I really have enjoyed, and built confidence, in these tires. From XC to aggressive trail. Holding up well , feels like a quality set of kicks

There's lot of dry/loose and rocky here. The protection rolls well, finds grip, and stays inflated despite the limestone shards.
