Continental Cross King 2.8 Performance Folding Tyre 27.5x2.75" TLR E-25 black

Pure Grip Compound
Based on activated silica compounds, this technology was originally intended as a performance level compound, but after intensive development at our German R&D facility, an advanced new compound with outstanding grip, elasticity and rolling properties was developed. This new mix was given the self-explanatory name "Pure Grip", ranked just behind the BlackChili compound and will be used in Continentals new performance products both in road and MTB sectors.

tubeless ready
Tubeless Ready tires can be driven with or without inner tube, as the tire and rim are designed to seal directly against each other. Compared to UST tires, however, tubeless ready tires are much lighter and therefore air-permeable in the sidewall. This is sealed with special sealing milk. All Continental mountain bike tyres are tubeless ready in the ProTection and performance versions. The revolutionary Tubeless Ready foot allows an easy and uncomplicated mounting of the tyre. For optimum sealing and application results, we recommend the use of the new Continental RevoSealant sealant .

When mounted correctly, the system is relatively airtight and less sensitive to snake bites than folding or wire tyres. Especially voluminous mountain bike tyres benefit from this design. Tubeless Ready tires can be driven with lower operating pressure. The risk of breakdowns is considerably lower because there is no hose that can penetrate. Even the "wandering" of the tyre on the rim has no consequences. It also improves off-road grip, comfort and rolling resistance.
