Overview
Maximum grip for full-suspension trail bikes.
The Continental Mountain King is the trail tire built for full-suspension bikes where grip is the priority. Snappy central knobs deliver confident acceleration and braking traction, while grippy outer knobs bite hard in corners. This is the tire that earns its reputation on real trails. It is not stingy on grip at any point in the contact patch. Wire bead clincher. 26 x 2.30, a classic 26-inch size for older trail frames and bike park hardtails.
Confirm your rim diameter before ordering. The Mountain King is also available in tubeless and larger formats. See the full Continental MTB lineup at DCL.

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 →Is the Mountain King still a good tire for 26-inch bikes?
Yes. While 26-inch wheels have been largely replaced by 27.5 and 29-inch on newer bikes, many riders still run 26-inch bikes for trail and park riding. The Mountain King's proven cornering grip and durability remain relevant regardless of wheel size.
Can this tire be run tubeless with a tubeless conversion kit?
The wire bead version is not a tubeless-ready tire and is not designed for tubeless conversion. For tubeless, look for the tubeless-specific version of the Mountain King.
What riding style is the Mountain King designed for?
The Mountain King is a trail-focused tire designed for aggressive cornering grip and traction on variable terrain. It suits riders who prioritize grip and control over rolling speed.
