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. |
With its all-round knob profile, this tyre offers plenty of security and perfect grip on any surface. |
Technical descents over tree roots and rocks are no problem at all. |
The Exo Protection protective layer provides excellent protection against cuts. |
The knobs are spaced far apart so you maintain maximum grip during the ride thanks to the high level of clearance. |
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. |
Making a Tubeless Ready tyre tubeless takes some effort, but the result will not disappoint. |
Tubeless sealant should generally be topped up every 3-6 months. |
