The Continental Speed King tire combines a RaceSport carcass of fine, flexible nylon fabric with a protective rubber coating to keep weight low while adding puncture resistance. Its tread uses the BlackChili compound, a blend of synthetic and natural rubbers that balances grip, rolling resistance, and long-term durability. A tread-level puncture protection layer adds further defence against flats on mixed terrain.
Built in a 26x2.2 folding clincher format with 180 TPI construction, this tire suits mountain, pump track, and street or dirt jump riding, inflating up to 65 PSI. The E25 rating reinforces the structure to reduce premature wear from the added driving force of e-bikes, though it is not intended for tubeless setups. Claimed weight is 420 g.
