Cross King CX vs Speed RIDE review

In this entry we are going to compare and review Continental Cross King CX vs Continental Speed RIDE tyres. Both manufactured by the same brand Continental, these tyres have been designed to be used for different purposes. Whilst Continental Cross King CX is better for Cross Tires activities, Continental Speed RIDE is a great choice if your needs are more aligned to Urban/Tour activities.

Features Performance - PureGrip Compound The advanced new compound Based on activated silica compounds, this technology was originally intended as an performance level compound, but after intensive development at our Korbach Research and Development Department Facility, an advanced new compound with outstanding grip and cross-country properties was developed. This new rubber mix, given the self explanatory name “PureGrip”, is ranked just behind our BlackChili Compound and is being used in our performance products both in the road and mountain bike sectors. Whilst providing great grip, it is also long lasting and highly durable – both characteristics of Continental tires, which are exclusively manufactured in the factory in Hefei (Asia). NyTechBreaker Nylon fabric in the performance sector Our new NyTech Puncture Protection has been developed based on the proven Continental SafetySystem Breaker. Its nylon fabric makes it resistant to punctures and cuts like Kevlar reinforced high strength fibres, but offers lower rolling resistance and reduced weight. The NyTech breaker sits between the SafetySystem and the PolyX Breaker® as a more effective puncture protection casing in the performance sector.	Features Puncture ProTection Worry-free throughout the day If you are looking for a reliable, value for money companion for every day use, choose a tire with Puncture ProTection Breaker. This robust Rubberbreaker combines with the rubber-reinforced sidewalls of the tire to guarantee a high puncture and wear protection. No frills tires with a clear focus and durability.
