Swoofty Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Calling all you 26" street rollers out there. Anyone tried the Conti Race Kings, front or rear? I've tried the Cross Kings, but the edge knobs are too abrupt and don't hold odd ledges well. I'm currently running Maxxis Ikon rear and Michelin Pilot Slope front. The Ikons are great, too expensive at the moment and the Slopes are very quick wearing and hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 I found them a little too lightweight, I had to run pretty high pressures and it made the bike feel pretty harsh. I also tore a sidewall blasting a pumptrack berm. Grip was pretty average too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Yeah - they are very very thin, and the rubber is pretty hard. I also found them to be pretty massive compared to a similarly sized(labeled) maxxis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Shrewsbury Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 (edited) Tread is terrible on the race kings, I found it Just breaks off after 1 or 2 rides. I have a couple of pairs of ikons to test out this year. But atm I’m currently running the schwalbe racing Ralph’s (tubeless) There great grip and decent weight around 600g.

Swoofty Posted March 10 Author Report Share Posted March 10 Thanks fellas. I'll look into a Racing Ralph or an Ikon for the front then. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
