Cross King - Tubeless Mountain Bike Tire - The All-Rounder Tire - Black - E25 Ebike Rated

The Continental Cross King 2.6 is a fantastic tire that delivers great performance on a variety of terrains. It offers superb grip and stability, especially on loose and rocky trails. The tread design provides excellent traction without compromising speed, and I love how confidently it handles both climbs and descents. The 2.6 width gives just the right amount of cushion and control, making rides smoother and more comfortable. It’s also durable and holds up well after many rides. Definitely a great choice if you want a reliable, high-performance tire that can handle aggressive mountain biking. Highly recommended for serious riders!

Fast rolling. Great traction in all conditions. Great price.

I needed to replace the two original tires from my Cannondale mountainbike, and chose the CrossKing. I really wanted the TrailKing, but they didn’t have the size to fit my wheels, but in the end, I think I like the CrossKing more than if I had got the full-on mountainbike tire. I found the CrossKing tire excellent in all conditions except loose dry sand, which is less than 1% of my riding. On the asphalt road surface (75% of my riding) the tire performs really very well, and is noticeably more grippy in the turns than my old tires. Off-road, I have no complaints, and it works just about as well as any full off-road tire I have used. I haven’t really been out much in the wet — the one time I did a wet road it felt stable and secure, but not idea how it performs in mud or extremely adverse conditions like ice or snow. I initially bought a single tire to see what I thought of it, and after a single ride, I ordered another to make the match, as I was really pleased with the performance. I would buy again. (In the photo, the top tire is the CrossKing, the lower one the original full off-road tire that I replaced)

Great tires!! Spot on, as always, conti's are much more dificult to mount, but their really good quality

Great tire for speed and grip but nearly impossible to remove. Broke both my tire levers on the trail and had to walk out. When I got home, spent nearly 30 minutes trying to remove and broke another lever. First time in 35 years of riding did I consider taking a bike to the shop to remove a tire but finally got it removed. Other than that I really liked these tires and would have ordered another pair but just didn’t want to go through trying to get these off again.

I ride rooty, sandy trails with some loose over hard sections, and this works great as a front. Hooked up as well as the old Maxxis Rekon, but the center tread line gives lower rolling resistance. Lots of lateral knob surfaces, well designed tread pattern, and it mounted quickly and easily with just a floor pump, and the tire is round and true. I see no likely issues with longevity, as the tread blocks are designed well and lots of them, the compound seems durable, and the sipes are shallow and angled so as to not cause the knob folding or tearing. Also, my rims are 30mm width and again, the 2.6 mounted easily and the profile is fine. Looking forward to my rides on pavement, with the low RR, and more dirt miles, with the lateral grip.

I bought these tires to replace my stock 27.5x2.6" wide tires on my Stumpjumper and let me say it was a great move. From what I have researched, the 2.8" wide tire rolls and tracks better than the standard 2.6" and less tires on the 27.5" wheel set. I am able to ride at lower pressure which does two things really well. A little less pressure absorbs the small bumps extremely well and makes the bike ride buttery smooth. The lower pressure also increased my traction and overall handling of the bike on rough/loose substrate. The traction pattern on this tire is also something that stands out to me. They roll incredibly well, they are quiet, and they have more than enough traction. I look forward to running these tires all summer and will be interested in how they hold up. From what I understand Continental makes a great tire and upon first impression I agree. I will know more after a few months of riding hard in the Mountains of Idaho.

Was previously running 27.5x2.8 Magic Mary's on a 130mm hardtail. Switched to these for faster rolling and less rotational mass. Was surprised by the good traction on slippery climbs. Overall the tire is a great balance of speed, traction and durability. I ride some pretty chunky trails in AZ and I am very happy. Never had a flat and they are holding up to abuse. Won't even shop around next time.
