Continental reasserted itself in the gravity mountain bike tire market a few years back when it launched a completely new range of tires in 2022<\/a>. Those tires have proven themselves with numerous World Cup DH wins and have become a popular choice as both an OE spec and an aftermarket purchase for everything from aggressive trail to downhill riding.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But for as popular and well-received as Continental\u2019s latest tires have been, people have been asking for some holes in the lineup to be filled. Most notably, softer rubber compounds paired with the light- and mid-duty Trail and Enduro casings. Today, Continental is filling in some of the casing\/compound combination gaps with the announcement of 13 new options. Let\u2019s check them out.<\/p>\n

\u201cMTB riders have very different needs depending on where and how they ride. With these 13 new tire combinations, we are giving riders even more ways to find the perfect balance of grip, control and durability for their individual setup. Whether they are racing enduro, pushing their limits on technical trails or simply looking for maximum confidence on the descents, our expanded Gravity range offers the performance and flexibility they need.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Softer Rubber For All<\/h2>\n

Until now, if you wanted to ride Continental\u2019s grippiest SuperSoft rubber compound, you were almost exclusively limited to the heavier downhill casing, with just a couple of exceptions<\/a>. Now, with the addition of several new Enduro SuperSoft options, riders can enjoy the benefits of the brand\u2019s tackiest rubber with the still tough but lighter-weight Enduro casing. In fact, now riders can find the Kryptotal Front, Kryptotal Rear, Xynotal, and Argotal in Enduro SuperSoft in both 27.5\u2033 x 2.4\u2033 and 29\u2033 x 2.4\u2033.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Continental\u2019s Soft rubber compound, which balances grip and durability, has previously only been available on the Downhill and Enduro casings (and the Kryptotal Front 29\u2033 x 2.4\u2033). This has left riders seeking the more supple, lighter-weight Trail casing tires primarily limited to the brand\u2019s firmer Endurance rubber compound. Well, not anymore. Moving forward, the Trail casing and Soft rubber combination will be available for the Kryptotal Front and Rear, Xynotal, and Argotal in both 27.5\u2033 x 2.4\u2033 and 29\u2033 x 2.4\u2033 sizes.<\/p>\n
