FAQ

Is the Trail King better suited to the front or rear wheel?

Many all-mountain riders run the Trail King on both ends, but it is particularly well suited to the rear where its rolling efficiency and cornering knobs provide traction without excessive drag on climbs. Pairing it with a more aggressive front tire is a common and capable setup.

What pressure should I run the Trail King Tubeless at?

Most all-mountain riders run the 27.5x2.40 Trail King between 20-28 PSI tubeless depending on rider weight and terrain. Enduro conditions with technical features and exposure benefit from the lower end of this range for maximum grip.

Why does the Trail King roll well for such an aggressive tire?

The center knob spacing is designed to reduce rolling resistance between the grip knobs, so the tire transitions efficiently between cornering loads and straight-line speed rather than fighting you on climbs and fire road sections.

Best For

All-mountain and enduro riders on 27.5-inch wheeled bikes with 140mm or more of travel who want a tubeless tire that commits fully to cornering grip without sacrificing the rolling efficiency needed to cover technical, high-mileage mountain routes.
