Versatile trail grip for everything from hardpack to loose and muddy conditions.
The Continental Magnotal is an all-round mountain bike tyre designed for aggressive downcountry, all-mountain and trail riding. Its tread is made to handle a range of surfaces and conditions, from dry hardpack to wet, loose soil.
Positioned between Continental’s faster XC tyres and its Gravity range, the Magnotal is a practical choice for riders who want a more capable trail tyre without moving straight to a gravity-focused setup.
One Tyre for Changing Trails
Designed for hard, loose and muddy ground, the Magnotal suits riders whose local trails change with the weather. It can be used as part of a matching front and rear setup or paired with a different tyre to suit your preferred balance of grip and rolling speed.
Trail Casing
The Trail casing uses a light, durable single-ply construction designed for trail riding. It balances support and efficiency for everyday rides and longer days out.
Choose Your Compound
- Soft: A grip-focused option for descending-oriented trail and enduro riding. Use it front and rear or on the front for extra grip.
- Grip: A balanced compound for cross-country, downcountry and trail riding, combining grip with rolling efficiency.
Compound and size combinations vary between options. Check the selected variant carefully before ordering.

Who Is It For?
For trail riders wanting a versatile tyre that can handle changing conditions. The Magnotal suits riders looking for more trail capability than a fast XC tyre, including those riding aggressive downcountry and all-mountain terrain.
Our Thoughts
The Magnotal looks like a useful middle ground for mixed trail riding. The Grip compound is the balanced choice for covering ground, while Soft is worth considering if descending grip matters more to you.
Check the selected size and compound, along with your frame or fork clearance, before ordering.
