Overview

What is the Continental Cross King 20 x 2.00 built for?

The Continental Cross King Tire 20 x 2.00 Wire is built for small-wheel mountain bikes, recumbents, and folding bikes that see real dirt. Its open block tread rolls fast on hardpack and bites into loose corners, making it the versatile all-rounder Continental designed for cross-country and trail use. The wire bead Performance build uses Continental's PureGrip compound and a high-density 180 TPI casing.

The honeycomb sidewall design adds puncture resistance without adding stiffness, and the E25 rating means it is approved for e-bikes with pedal assist up to 25 km/h. This is the right tire for riders running 406mm wheels who want a confident, fast-rolling MTB tread in a tube-type setup.
