Our Thoughts
The Cross King is a useful all-rounder when your rides include a mix of trail surfaces. It rolls well for longer outings while retaining enough tread for riders who want more grip than a low-profile XC tyre.
Check your rim compatibility and make sure your frame or fork has enough clearance for a 2.3-inch tyre before ordering.
