Excellent Tire for Aggressive Trail Riding!
The Continental Cross King 2.6 is a fantastic tire that delivers great performance on a variety of terrains. It offers superb grip and stability, especially on loose and rocky trails. The tread design provides excellent traction without compromising speed, and I love how confidently it handles both climbs and descents. The 2.6 width gives just the right amount of cushion and control, making rides smoother and more comfortable. It’s also durable and holds up well after many rides. Definitely a great choice if you want a reliable, high-performance tire that can handle aggressive mountain biking. Highly recommended for serious riders!

Decent tire for the price
It is a mountain bike tyre. Fits on by Specialized 29-inch rim and got me riding again.

Good all around tire.
This is a great tire for trail riders that ride to the park. These are great on pavement, roll easy and smooth. I can lean the bike in a corner no issues. The trails I ride are mostly hard pack with loose rocks around. These cross kings have surprisingly good grip in the trails. The tread wears slowly on the street so these tires can last longer than others I tried. There are better tires for off road but for someone who rides both these are really great. I’ve bought 3 now.

Good Value XC Tire
For the money, hard to beat this tire for general mountain biking. Pros: The narrow center band of knobbies make this tire efficient for everything from street riding up to steep trail inclines. The tire is VERY light and feels VERY tough. Well made. Cons: Terrible in ANY sand or mud. There is a rather large gap between center knobby row and outside knobby row. The result is a "catch" point when leaning on soft terrain. The result is sometimes frightening. I should have went with the Trail Kings for better off road control, but this is still an exceptional tire.

Increasing the diameter of your tire if it fits your wheel set is a great idea!
I bought these tires to replace my stock 27.5x2.6" wide tires on my Stumpjumper and let me say it was a great move. From what I have researched, the 2.8" wide tire rolls and tracks better than the standard 2.6" and less tires on the 27.5" wheel set. I am able to ride at lower pressure which does two things really well. A little less pressure absorbs the small bumps extremely well and makes the bike ride buttery smooth. The lower pressure also increased my traction and overall handling of the bike on rough/loose substrate. The traction pattern on this tire is also something that stands out to me. They roll incredibly well, they are quiet, and they have more than enough traction. I look forward to running these tires all summer and will be interested in how they hold up. From what I understand Continental makes a great tire and upon first impression I agree. I will know more after a few months of riding hard in the Mountains of Idaho.

Secret weapons
Though unsuspecting, these tires hook up, hold up and keep the rotational weight low. Cost effective as well, but price aside they are hands down my favorite XC tire.

Better than expected!
I did a lot of research on good 26" tires and these kept coming up so I gave them a try. Turns out these are easily the best tires I've ever bought, lightweight & grippy, I did 2 hill climbs with these tires that were impossible before. Will buy again.

Nice grip an a variety of terrain.
Great for all around use, and fast rolling if you ride a lot of pavement to and from your trail.
