According to the product specialist
Pros
Due to the aggressive stud profile, the Continental Mountain King is suitable for the most muddy surfaces, but also very suitable for rocky surfaces. |
The Maxxis Ikon MTB tyres are all-round and ride well on varying surfaces in different conditions. |
The tall knobs give great grip in corners but also when braking. |
The Exo Protection shields the sidewalls from sharp rocks. |
Ideal tyre if you don't like swapping tyres. The Ikon does well on any terrain. |
TLE (TubeLess Easy), technology makes the tyres easy to make tubeless with 90ml of latex sealant per tyre. |
Thanks to the all-round knob pattern, these tyres are suitable for dry forest surfaces to the most muddy conditions. |
The open knob profile stays clean during the ride, maintaining optimum grip. |
The 3-layer carcass gives the tyre the necessary puncture resistance and durability. |
The Blackchili compound makes the tyre smoother where it is needed for optimal rolling resistance. |
Tubeless Ready technology makes the tyres easy to make tubeless with 90ml of latex sealant per tyre. |
Cons
Ideal for the novice Enduro rider who likes to explore the Alps, but on lighter courses the rolling resistance is usually on the high side. |
The triple MaxxSpeed compound provides plenty of traction, but has slightly higher rolling resistance than a harder compound. |
Tubeless sealant should generally be topped up every 3-6 months. |
Tubeless sealant should generally be topped up every 3-6 months. |
