The CONTINENTAL RACE KING Tyre 29x2.00 Performance helped establish Continental's current MTB tyre range and is now regarded as a legendary model. Irina Kalentieva won two World Championships on Race King tyres as well as countless other wins. Pure Grip Compound Based on activated silica compounds, this technology was originally intended as an performance level compound, but after intensive development at their Korbach research and development department, an advanced new compound with outstanding grip and cross-country properties was developed. This new rubber mix, given the self explanatory name Pure Grip, is ranked just behind their BlackChili compound and is being used in their performance products both on the road and MTB sectors.
