Continental Mountain King CX Clincher Tire

The Continental Mountain King CX Clincher Tire was built for conditions where grip isn't optional — loose dirt, wet roots, and the kind of mud that swallows lesser tread patterns whole. Wide-spaced knobs with hard, square edges dig into soft surfaces and release cleanly, giving you reliable traction both when you're pushing in and when you're rolling out. Continental's Black Chili rubber compound sits underneath it all, delivering low rolling resistance without compromising the grip you need off-road.

The 32mm variant uses Continental's RaceSport casing — three plies totaling 180 TPI under the tread, with two plies through the sidewalls for a more supple feel. Both sizes use aramid bead construction, keeping weight down while allowing the tire to fold for travel or storage. The 32mm width sits within UCI cyclocross regulations, and the 35mm opens this tire up to gravel riding on rougher terrain. Designed to run with a tube, this is a straightforward, no-fuss option for riders who want proven performance on unpredictable surfaces.
