Versatile trail grip and smooth rolling for cross-country rides.
The Continental Cross King ShieldWall is an all-round 27.5-inch mountain bike tyre for riders who want a balance of cornering grip and rolling speed. Its adaptable tread suits cross-country rides, local trails and mixed terrain.
PureGrip compound provides dependable traction and durability, while the three-layer ShieldWall casing adds puncture protection in a tubeless-ready folding tyre.
Grip for Changing Trails
The Cross King is designed to roll efficiently while providing confident cornering grip. It is a practical choice for riders whose routes include a mix of firm ground and looser trail surfaces.
PureGrip and ShieldWall
Continental’s PureGrip compound balances grip and wear life for regular riding. The three-layer ShieldWall casing adds puncture protection for training, racing and everyday trail rides.
Tubeless Ready
The folding ShieldWall casing can be set up tubeless with a compatible rim and suitable sealant. Check your rim and tyre instructions before fitting.

Our Thoughts
