XC/Enduro Tires Cross King Folding Protection + Chili

Product Information

The Continental Cross King Folding Protection + BlackChili tire is a first-class all-rounder designed for both competition and trail riding, offering a versatile and fast-rolling profile that adapts to various surfaces. Engineered for mountain bikes, this tire excels in cross-country, all-mountain, and trail applications.

Key to its performance is Continental's proprietary BlackChili Compound, handcrafted in Germany, which achieves an exceptional balance of grip, rolling resistance, and longevity. This advanced rubber compound, refined with special synthetic and natural rubbers and optimized carbon black particles, delivers approximately 30% more grip and a 26% lower rolling resistance compared to standard silica compounds. The result is a noticeable advantage in speed and traction across varied conditions.

Further enhancing its robust capabilities is the ProTection technology, which provides a perfect blend of smooth running and superior puncture protection. An extra all-round puncture protection layer makes the casing extremely durable and resistant to damage or penetration from foreign objects, protecting both the tread and sidewalls. This technology also contributes to improved rolling resistance and absorption, while being 25% lighter and offering 30% more puncture protection than previous models. The tire is Tubeless Ready, featuring a redesigned casing that ensures easy and uncomplicated installation for tubeless systems, with Continental RevoSealant recommended for optimal sealing.

The Cross King's rugged tread pattern with multi-directional blocks ensures stable traction, reliable cornering grip, and quiet rolling behavior, making it a comfortable and secure choice for diverse terrain, including rocky and uneven surfaces. It is also suitable for E-bikes, with a high-quality structure designed to offer low rolling resistance and good puncture protection against the additional driving force.
