FAQ

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.

Best For

Enduro and all-mountain 27.5-inch riders running 140mm+ travel bikes who want maximum grip and sidewall protection in a tubeless-ready tire for variable trail conditions.
