The Mountain KingCX, has a tread pattern made up of deep square blocks spaced well apart, with a paddle shape central section. The shoulder knobs are arranged at an angle – designed to leverage better traction through the corners and for tackling the challenges of off-camber sections.
With a claimed weight of 320g, there’s just one version of this tire available.
The CycloX-King is based on the popular X-King mountain bike tire – a favorite amongst racers for it’s fast-rolling tread pattern. Similarly, this tire has the same tightly packed, small and deep block arrangement.
Tall shoulder blocks are designed to give the tire excellent "bite" through the corners. A versatile tire, the Cyclo-X has the credentials to make for an excellent all-round tire that performs well on harder tracks and asphalt as it is does in dirt, soggy grass and mud. Conti says, the Black Chilli compound gives good grip in “hard & dry, cold & wet, roots, off-cambers, grass or stone” conditions.
The tire is available at a couple of different price points. At the top is the CycloX-King RS with BlackChilli rubber, along with a less expensive wire bead version that extends the width out to 35mm and loses the BlackChilli compound.
Right at the very top of the range, is a tubular version that’s still under development, and details are still forthcoming.
