Comparison MTB : What is the best choice ?

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.

The MICHELIN WILD RACE'R Tyre 29x2.10 has a tread optimised to improve performance on fairly hard-packed surfaces and rolling terrains. The low tread blocks spread over the whole tread enabling greater surface area contact meaning increased grip.

The MAXXIS IKON Tyre 27.5x2.35 3C Tubeless Ready Exo Protection uses EXO Protection, an extremely cut- and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high. Maxxis 3C Triple Compound mountain technology uses a harder, longer lasting base layer and two progressively softer top layers in order to optimise traction and stability. Maxxis offers three different configurations of their 3C Triple Compound mountain technology; Maxx Speed, Maxx Terra and Maxx Grip. 3C Maxx Speed Maxx Speed is used primarily in cross country and endure tyres.
