What technology does it use in its construction?
The Cross King CX comes available in a choice of configurations. The Standard 180TPI casing with Nytech Breaker protection paired with a Pure Grip compound for great all round performance charcteristics, or the superior 32mm UCI race legal, RaceSport casing married to a Black Chili compound for unrivalled traction and compliance, in the lightest construction.
What is the intended use?
Deriving from the Cross King, the CX specific version inherits the same effective tread pattern as its cousin. Performing well in a mixture of terrains in a variety of weathers. The aggressive tread patern rolls like a semi slick as result of the offset centre knobs, while the more pronounced shoulder lugs dig in to technical off camber sections and deliver confidence in loose corners. This fast all rounder is a perfect upgrade to your Cross or off-road Touring bike.
Our verdict
The most versatile CX tyre in Continental's range, providing reassurance and confidence in a multitude of situations.
