Product details

The Speed King impresses with its propulsion-oriented tread geometry, resulting in the lowest rolling resistance in the MTB product range. This racing and tuning tyre is primarily used on racing machines and carbon hardtails, making it the ideal choice where lightweight construction is a priority. It is a competition tyre designed for reduced mileage.

Technologies:

Black Chilli Compound: Tyres with Black Chilli Compound achieve an unprecedented level of performance. Compared to activated silica tyres, Black Chilli tyres have a 26% lower rolling resistance, a 30% higher static friction value (grip), and a 5% higher mileage.

RaceSport: Designed uncompromisingly for mountain bike racing, the RaceSport carcasses combine consistent lightweight construction with noticeably better puncture protection. Handmade in Germany, they offer 30% better puncture protection than Supersonic tyres. The construction features fine, high-quality nylon fabric with an elaborate protective rubber coating. Together with the legendary Black Chilli Compound, this is the ultimate combination for XC-Race and Marathon.
