Continental Trail King Fold Protection/Apex, Black Chili, Mountain Bike Tire, 29 x 2.2-Inch, Black
The king of offroad tires. The TK 2.4 Rocks bike parks around the world thanks to apex and specially-tuned Black Chili compound. The reinforced apex sidewall reduces tire roll under hard cornering, while keeping things together on hard landings. Despite the phenomenal grip, the special compound wears forever and rails whether wet or dry. The little brother 2.2 Is the perfect choice for enduro and trail riders. With a light and agile footprint and reasonable weight, it rolls exceptionally well, while hooking-up over a broad range of conditions. Quite possibly the best combination we’ve ever produced.

Best 26er ever. This became the best front tire I have ridden on my first ride. I am not a racer just ride trails and I am the slow one in the group but this tire will make me faster. I am riding the 26×2.2 on the front it is setup tubeless using Stand No Tubes at 20 psi as we’re the other tires I mention and this tire is replacing a Maxxis Ardent 26×2.2 20psi and there is no question in my mind that the TRail King is a far better tire in the corners and about the same in the straits and better than the…
Defective sidewalls leak – see attached video Wow, I don’t even know where to begin, so lets just say these tires hook up great. It was getting summer here so I put a new set of fast rolling Ardents on my bike thinking it would be dry for a few months…was I wrong, Its been storm after storm and the Ardents are terrible on greasy roots and rocks (as a side note, in the past year I have tried a half dozen tires on 3 different bikes and all riding conditions, so not just comparing to Ardents here). So I am lured in by this black chili…
I purchased two Trail King 2.2 (ProTection) UST’s and they fit great and I like the tread/grip/rolling resistance, but they are defective. I thought I had a poor bead seat because I can’t keep air in them for more than 24 hours, but after soap watering the outside of them I realized the sidewalls are porous and constantly leak through hundreds of tiny holes….and this is WITH Stan’s sealant. I’m going to double the recommended quantity of Stans and try to make them work, but I would be very…
