Continental - Race King Protection MTB-Folding Tire - Amber Edition

The Race King starts the new season with a modified profile and a revised sidewall. Above all, a better interaction between rim and tire prevents air loss if the tire is to be driven tubeless.

The king of the race track is constantly conquering new titles and defending the old ones. Many professionals swear by these tires. Through constant further development, Conti has made these tires even faster, safer and improved self-cleaning. The rolling resistance is very similar to that of a slick tire, which guarantees a high speed. Despite everything, the profile develops a lot of grip on dry, compact and sandy soils.

Handmade in Germany

These tires are among the highest quality produced by Continental. They are sewn by hand in the Korbach factory and set special standards in processing and quality.

Black Chili Compound

At Conti, BlackChili means above all that grip, rolling resistance and durability are combined at a level that makes you almost believe in magic. Continental simply uses the very latest and best technologies. Polymers, soot particles and fillers optimized down to the nano range guarantee the unique performance of the BlackChili compound. It revolutionized the basic conflict between grip and rolling resistance. Approx. 30% more grip and a 26% improved rolling resistance compared to the silica compound ensure better performance and safety.
Continental tires consist entirely of this high-quality rubber compound. Thus, the tires can be worn down to the carcass without losing the first-class properties of the rubber!

Protection

The ProTection technology gives the tires a perfect mix of smooth running, grip and puncture protection. It achieves improved puncture protection through a continuous additional layer that increases resistance to injuries of all kinds. However, this does not reduce the good running properties of Conti tires. Another great feature is the tubeless ready function. Thanks to the reinforcement, tires with a ProTection carcass are best suited for tubeless assembly with sealing milk. The additional material minimizes the formation of micropores and thus speeds up sealing immensely.

Amber edition

The high-quality amber-colored sidewall gives your bike a unique look, so you stand out from the crowd!
