CONTINENTAL Mountain King 29x2.30 BlackChili ProTection TR: A Handcrafted German Engineering Marvel

🏔️ OVERVIEW: A UNIVERSAL MOUNTAIN KING

The Continental Mountain King 29" x 2.30 tire redefines the term "all-rounder." Designed for superior performance across a wide range of terrain, from cross-country (XC) trails to all-mountain tours, and from hard surfaces to loose and muddy tracks, it's a handcrafted German quality product. Developed in partnership with Adidas, this tread pattern strengthens your connection with nature with power and confidence.

⚙️ TECHNICAL DATA AND SPECIFICATIONS: THE DIFFERENCE IN DETAIL

• SIZE and COMPATIBILITY:

  • Rim Diameter: 29 inches

  • Tire Width: 2.30 inches (approximately 58mm)

  • ETRTO Standard: 58-622

  • Recommended Rim Inner Width: 19 - 29 mm. This range is perfectly compatible with modern wide-rim XC and Trail rims.

  • E-bike Compatibility: Yes, up to 25 km/h. It reliably withstands the extra torque and weight of pedal-powered electric bikes.

• AIR PRESSURE AND LOAD:

  • Recommended Air Pressure Range: 2.5 - 3.5 bar (36 - 50 PSI). This wide range offers the flexibility to adjust the tire, stiffening it for faster riding or softening it for maximum grip, depending on the rider's weight, terrain, and preference.

• CONSTRUCTION and PRODUCTION:

  • Folding Bead Structure: The foldable structure, which uses carbon fiber (Kevlar), makes the tire lighter, easier to transport, and provides flexibility when mounting it on the rim.

  • Carcass: 180 TPI (Threads Per Inch) having a fine yarn density, 3-layered (3 plies) This high TPI (Treatment, Price, and Percentage) value ensures the tire is more flexible, lightweight, comfortable, and absorbs shocks better.

  • Place of Production: Handcrafted at the Korbach factory in Germany. It is sewn. This guarantees exceptional workmanship quality, consistency, and durability.

🔬 SPECIAL TECHNOLOGIES: THE SCIENTIFIC FORMULAS OF MAGIC

1. BlackChili Compound: The Real Name of Magic

This is Continental's exclusive, patented blend technology. It consists of nanoscale optimized polymers, carbon black particles, and fillers.

• Compared to ordinary silica-compound tires:

  • Up to 30% more grip provides.

  • Up to 26% lower rolling resistance. presents.

• It resolves the fundamental contradiction: Traditionally, in a tire If grip increases, rolling resistance also increases. (speed would decrease) or vice versa. BlackChili eliminates this dilemma by both a sticky grip and a smooth ride It promises an experience.

• Full Layer Mixing: This high-quality rubber compound is found not only in the surface layer, It is used throughout the entire carcass of the tire. This means that even if the tire wears down and the tread depth decreases, it will not lose its grip until its final kilometers.

2. ProTection TR (Tubeless Ready) Technology: Puncture Resistance and Comfort

• Continuous Additional Protective Layer: The tire's interior features a seamless additional layer integrated into the rubber compound. This layer provides protection against external factors such as thorns, sharp stones, and glass. a high level of puncture protection provides.

• "Tubeless Ready" (TR): Tyre, tubeless It is ready for use. With this system:

  • By using lower air pressure (e.g., 2.0 bar), you can achieve maximum grip and comfort.

  • Because inner tube friction is eliminated. Rolling resistance is further reduced .

  • Small holes can be instantly sealed by the liquid sealant inside.

• TR construction does not add weight to the tire or impair its flexibility despite the protective layer. Good rolling characteristics are preserved.

3. Custom Tooth (Profile) Design and Cheek (Sidewall) Engineering

• Middle Blocks: Frequent and aggressive pattern, maximum traction during acceleration and braking It provides stability and speed on hard, dry surfaces.

• Deep and Wide Blocks in the Cheeks: On curves and sloping surfaces Superior edge grip that prevents sliding sideways. It provides a greater sense of security on loose and uneven trails.

• Redesigned Heel (Bead) Core: Janta perfect fit and ensures airtightness. Experienced users note that compared to the previous model... it is easier to attach to the rim This indicates that problems with cheek air circulation have been minimized.
