Continental Race King ProTection 29x2.2 (55-622) is a folding mountain bike tyre designed for fast cross-country riding, marathon racing and hard-packed trails.
Key Features
Construction and Design
The low-profile, closely spaced tread pattern is designed to reduce rolling resistance and support rapid acceleration. Larger shoulder blocks help maintain cornering grip on hard-packed trails, forest tracks and lightly loose surfaces.
A folding bead reduces weight and makes the tyre easier to transport. The 29 x 2.2-inch size corresponds to the 55-622 ETRTO designation and is intended for 29-inch MTB wheels.
Main Functions
The BlackChili rubber compound balances low rolling resistance, grip and wear resistance. Combined with the fast-rolling tread pattern, it makes the tyre well suited to racing and training where efficient speed retention is important.
The ProTection casing reinforces both the tread and sidewall areas. This additional layer helps reduce the risk of punctures and cuts when riding over rocks, roots and other trail obstacles.
Use and Compatibility
The tyre is designed for 29-inch mountain bikes and fits compatible rims with a 622 mm bead-seat diameter. It performs best on dry or slightly damp hard-packed terrain, forest roads and fast XC trails.
Its Tubeless Ready construction allows installation without an inner tube when used with a compatible rim, valve and sealant. The tyre can also be fitted with a correctly sized inner tube.
Additional Features
The Race King model combines low weight, effective vibration damping and low rolling resistance. Its design prioritises speed over maximum traction in deep mud or very loose terrain.
Summary
The Continental Race King ProTection 29x2.2 is intended for cross-country and marathon riders who prioritise fast rolling, low weight and reinforced puncture protection. Its BlackChili compound, ProTection casing and Tubeless Ready construction make it particularly suitable for fast hard-packed and moderately loose trails.
