Continental Speed King CX Tire Info
The Continental Speed King CX Tire was built for cyclocross courses where speed matters most — hard-packed dirt, frozen ground, and dry terrain where a knobby tread only slows you down. The scaly center tread rolls fast on straights while still giving you enough bite when the line gets technical. Continental's PureGrip compound underpins the whole thing, balancing grip and durability across the conditions you're most likely to find at a late-season race.
The 180 TPI casing keeps the ride feel supple, and the NyTech breaker layer adds puncture protection without the weight penalty you'd expect. That breaker draws from Continental's SafetySystem lineage — a nylon-based construction that delivers strength comparable to aramid fiber while keeping rolling resistance in check. In a tire that lives and dies by its ability to stay fast, that's a meaningful trade-off well made.
