Continental Race King 26er ShieldWall MTB Tires Tubeless Ready PureGrip

The Race King is a legend. It heralded the triumphal march of Conti Mountain biker tyres on the race tracks of the world. Irina Kalentieva won two world championship titles with it and it has its share of countless other victories. And it has become even faster, cleaner and safer! The rolling resistance is almost at the level of a Road bike tyre. Despite the outstanding grip, no mud sticks to the tread.

Features

• PureGrip Compound - The advanced new compound.  Based on activated silica compounds, this technology was originally intended as an performance level compound, but after intensive development at our Korbach Research and Development Department Facility, an advanced new compound with outstanding grip and cross-country properties was developed. This new rubber mix, given the self explanatory name “PureGrip”, is ranked just behind our BlackChili Compound and is being used in our performance products both in the road and mountain bike sectors. Whilst providing great grip, it is also long lasting and highly durable – both characteristics of Continental tires, which are exclusively manufactured in the factory in Hefei (Asia).
  
• ShieldWall System - The ShieldWall system combines the optimum combination of high puncture protection and the low rolling resistance 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 a high resistance to punctures and damage. Despite its additional ply, the tire has a very good damping property and a high degree of flexibility to adapt perfectly to the ground. The revolutionary tubeless ready bead allows easy and uncomplicated mounting of the tire. For best results in sealing and in use, we recommend the use of the new Continental RevoSealant sealant.
• Tubeless Ready - Race King Shieldwall carcass construction is robust and impervious against damage and penetration from foreign objects. The result: versatile, low weight and an attractive design. In addition, tires made using this technology can also be used as Tubeless or with an inner tube.  Continental recommends the usage of our Revo-Sealant.
