CONTINENTAL Tire Cross King 29 x 2.2 ShieldWall Tubeless

CONTINENTAL Tire Cross King 29 x 2.20 PureGrip E-25 ShieldWall TR

The Cross King was developed together with the Topeak Ergon Racing team. The aim was to be able to offer a tire that rolls well and can combine the grip required off-road. This resulted in the versatile Cross King, which was equipped with all the technical finesse of the Continental company and is equally suitable for dry and wet weather.

Pure Grip Compound
Based on the activated silica compound, we worked purposefully towards a compound technology in the performance segment. After intensive development work, the team from the Korbach research and development department brought out a new compound technology with excellent grip and cross-country skiing properties. The new rubber compound with the self-explanatory name “Pure Grip” ranks behind our BlackChili compound and is used in performance products in the race and mountain bike segments. Here it ensures long-lasting traction and high mileage of Continental tires, which are exclusively manufactured in the production plant in Hefei (Asia).

Shield Wall system
The ShieldWall system combines the optimal combination of high puncture protection and the best smooth running 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 high resistance to punctures and injuries. Despite the additional layer, the tire has very good damping properties and is highly flexible, allowing it to adapt perfectly to the ground. The revolutionary Tubeless Ready foot allows easy and uncomplicated mounting of the tire. Conti Revo-Sealant seals reliably.

TR Tubeless Ready
An additional, all-round puncture protection layer of the carcass (ShieldWall System) specially developed by Conti makes the tire particularly resistant and insensitive to damage and the ingress of foreign bodies. The result: The tires can be used in a variety of ways, are lightweight and have an attractive design. In addition, tires with this technology can also be used tubeless ready.

E-bike ready
For their e-bike tires, Continental can draw on over 100 years of experience with moped and motorcycle tires. All Continental city/trekking tires reach at least the standard up to 25 km/h (E-25). The tires marked with E-50 are also approved for S-Pedelecs. With their high-quality construction, they have high puncture protection, low rolling resistance and protection against premature wear due to the additional driving force.
