FAQ
Good questions
Get to know Continental
There's more to Continental than this one product. Our Continental page has the full Continental lineup we carry and more about the brand.
Visit the Continental page →How does the Cross King differ from the Trail King?
The Cross King is a lighter, faster-rolling tire suited for XC racing and trail use where speed and efficiency are balanced against grip. The Trail King is an aggressive enduro tire prioritizing maximum traction and sidewall protection. The Cross King is the faster tire; the Trail King is the grippier one.
Is the 2.20 width a good all-round MTB size?
Yes. 2.20 is a versatile width that balances rolling efficiency and traction: wide enough for decent float and grip, narrow enough for quick rolling on hardpack. It suits XC, marathon, and light trail use well.
Can the Cross King be used as a front tire paired with a more aggressive rear?
Yes. A common setup is running the Cross King on the front for its handling characteristics while pairing a different tire on the rear for driven traction. Confirm your setup suits the terrain you ride.
