Overview
All-mountain traction for enduro and trail bikes.
The Continental Trail King Tubeless is the all-mountain tire designed for enduro bikes and trail bikes with suspension travel greater than 140mm. Its voluminous, comfortable casing soaks up rough terrain, while a dense pattern of small knobs provides best-in-class traction on any difficult trail surface, from loose dirt and roots to rocks and everything in between. PureGrip Compound is derived from activated silica for exceptional grip and durability. ShieldWall System provides an all-round puncture protection layer from a finely woven cross fabric, balancing high flat resistance with low rolling resistance and good casing flexibility. Tubeless Ready.

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 →What is PureGrip compound?
PureGrip is Continental's MTB-specific rubber compound designed for maximum wet and dry grip on trail surfaces. It prioritizes traction over rolling resistance, making it suited to enduro and all-mountain riding where grip matters more than speed.
What does the ShieldWall System provide?
ShieldWall is Continental's sidewall protection system that adds reinforcement to the vulnerable sidewall area of the tire, reducing the risk of sidewall cuts and punctures on rocky trail terrain. It is especially valuable for enduro riding where sidewall impacts are common.
Is the Trail King best used on the front or rear wheel?
The Trail King is commonly used on the rear wheel for driven traction, though many riders run it front and rear on enduro bikes. Some riders pair it with a faster-rolling front tire. The 2.40 width in the 27.5 size works well for aggressive trail and enduro bikes.
