I wish I had found this tire a long time ago. This is light years ahead of the tire that came on my MTB. I spent almost a grand on a classy MTB and rode it for 1000+ miles before I needed a new tire. Yes, I knew the manufacturer would not use the best rubber for the road, but I expected quality or at least solid tires. I put this on the bike and the difference is worlds apart. This Continental is fantastic. The knobby pattern is small and closely spaced. Ergo, I was worried about traction in anything other than hard pack. I was semi right. This tire is quiet on the pavement, hard pack, sand or mud. Traction is an issue on very soft surfaces. No problem on hard pack, roots, pavement, gravel, sand. I can climb a mountain trail with no sweat. Wet, well that depends. Wet hard surfaces is no problem. Soft mud is not this tire's forte. This is a tire I will buy over and over again. Unlike some reviewers I received a tire clearly marked "handmade in Germany" and "black chili" . This was a quality tire and I heartily recommend it.

Very good look and performance - 0 flats so far after 400+ miles. Great handling on road surfaces and quiet with low rolling resistance. My all time favorite, much better than my Maxxi, Kenda and others I've had.

Good tire. Real good tire. Thin enough to be flexible, plenty durable. Good tread life, and rolls well on pavement. Not so good on wet roots or wet rocks or in the mud. If your conditions are dry and packed, cant go wrong.

Sliced the tire 125 miles in... Used on the rear paired with an X-King up front. Patched it and it's still rolling. I tried filing a complaint with Cont. No reply, go figure. Even patching it was an issue. Also, Stans does not work well in these tires. I read up that you should prep them with rubbing alcohol. We'll see how it works... Honestly I am disappointed in Continental's quality lately. Great tires if all you ride is hard packed dirt or something similar. Sharp rocks, be warned.

Race King 2.2 performed great at Texas races so far. Great on dry conditions and great on rainy conditions. Have yet to try with mud, but I was caught in middle of race with rain drizzle and this tire still cornered and climbed well. I paired it with X King 2.4 for front wheel and that combo works well.

Excellent tire. I upgraded from the stock tire that came on my 29er... One of the biggest factors is rotating weight. I weighed these tires, and they were 619 grams each. The stock MTB tires were 1440 grams each!! The tread is great, and they roll unbelievably well. They have completely changed the feel of my bike. I just started riding my mountain bike again about 2 weeks ago, and I can already ride 15 miles at a 12mph average without feeling defeated, like with my old tires. These tires are well worth the money and is the best thing I have bought for my bike so far!

Had these tires for about a year. Had many durability issues. Grip is phenomenal for the type of tire it is. I have a 27.5x2.2 tire on the rear of my XC rig. I'm not very competitive now as I've started college but this is all based on my partly competetive lifestyle less than a year ago. I mostly ride to train now and prefer a longer lasting tire Pros: - Fast! - Surpisingly grippy, tracked hardpack great, in sand was decent, great in loose rocky solid stuff if line choices were wise. - Decent low rolling resistance. Cons: - Seriously failed in durability. Sidewalk sucks at "protection." Threading showed after 6 months. Many tread blocks were removed revealing tire threads. Several tread slashes from small rocks, caused some leakage and had to patch a couple areas. For some reason a bulge formed in the casing, was large enough to rub my frame. I was about 11 months into the tire. I decided to remove it and install an older specialized fast trak control. That tire has a thinner casing and it has survived longer than the race king. Overall the other performance aspects are great, but durability failed. I'm not sponsored so I am not obliged to replace tires every month or race. Not practical for my use. Would recommend for those who want a tire for more competitive use (where they aren't used often, use one pair of tires for training and the others for racing). I'm even very wary about my own advice on this so if it fails during a race don't blame me.
