Reviews over the

Continental Race King II Performance

I use the Race Kings in the 50mm version as a gravel tyre. Easy to fit and well airtight. No loss of speed compared to the 40mm tyres that were standard on my Trek Checkpoint ALR. More comfort and grip, though. Recommended.

Pros & Cons

we are testing it in our team

Pros & Cons

I hesitated for a long time to buy special tyres for summer. To save my current tyres (with relatively high tread) and use them again from autumn. I was looking for tyres suitable for dry conditions and also for road use. After some research and comparisons I went for these Continental tyres, I always ride on Schwalbe so wanted to try something different. After a few rides, I really like them, on the road they are quiet tyres because of the tread and on dry forest surfaces I experience a lot of grip. So great tyres, not yet tested in wet weather, don't expect these tyres to be much use in wet weather either haha.

Pros & Cons

Initially, it did not succeed in fitting the tyre without high clearance, eventually it turned out to be necessary to inflate it to 4 bar, upon which it plopped onto the (tubeless) rim just fine (though using inner tube).
