According to the product specialist
Pros
Continental Trail King II Performance MTB tyres offer high grip and stability on muddy surfaces thanks to their coarser tread pattern. |
The open tread with its high side knobs ensures sufficient grip in curves and allows the tyres to cope with twisting courses without losing grip. |
The Vittoria Mezcal G2 TLR is a fast mountain bike tyre that performs best in dry conditions and slightly harder surfaces. |
The alternating blocks on the edges provide extra grip in corners, when braking and while climbing. |
The Mezcal G2's Graphene 2.0 compound excels in grip and lower rolling resistance. |
4C Graphene 2.0 is made up of 4 layers for the necessary puncture protection and durability. |
Tubeless Ready 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
The Trail King is not the fastest tyre in the Continental range and is therefore less suitable for dry, hard courses. |
The Mezcal G2 outer tyre loses its traction in muddy conditions. |
Tubeless sealant should generally be topped up every 3-6 months. |
Tubeless sealant should generally be topped up every 3-6 months. |
