Race King Wire vs Set Grand Prix Attack & Force review

In this entry we are going to compare and review Continental Race King Wire vs Continental Set Grand Prix Attack & Force tyres. Both manufactured by the same brand Continental, these tyres have been designed to be used for different purposes. Whilst Continental Race King Wire is better for Mountainbike Tires activities, Continental Set Grand Prix Attack & Force is a great choice if your needs are more aligned to Race Tires activities.

Race King Wire

Set Grand Prix Attack & Force

Classic competition tire which feels at home at the Cross Country World Cup or at marathons.Low rolling resistance, good self-damping and low weight make it the right choice for all race bikes.

Attack on the bike: much aero, low weight.The specially developed 3D tread pattern provides flow optimized behaviour.Front: agile and direct; rear: comfortable and dampening.

First choice for racers

Features

E25
Suitable for E-Bikes
For our E-Bike tyre we fall back on over 100 years’ experience with moped and motorcycle tires. All of our city/trekking tires are rated to a standard speed of at least 25 km/h. Those tires marked e50 are also certified for S-Pedelecs. With their high quality structure, puncture protection is high and the rolling resistance is low offering protection from premature wear brought about by the additional driving force.

Features

TPS
Know-how from motorcycle sport, specially adapted for bicycle racing to address the specific demands of front and rear wheels. Front: agile and direct. The narrower tire provides reduced air resistance and improved steering characteristics. Rear: comfortable and dampening. With its slightly broader contact surface the tire provides better traction. Thanks to the compound mix being optimised for rolling resistance, stiction is reduced. The result: a pioneering front and rear wheel tire system in which the tires have been painstakingly matched with one another.
Vectran
The benchmark in puncture protection
Vectran™ is a synthetically manufactured high-tech fibre from a natural model. Like spider silk, Vectran™ is a liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP). Vectran™ is spun from the melted liquid polymer Vectra and processed further to a multi-strand thread. Spider silk like Vectran™ has an enormous tear resistance at a very low weight: Exactly the right properties to process into a premium Continental bicycle tire as a puncture protection insert. A Vectran™ Breaker is lighter, more flexible and protects more effectively against cuts than the comparable nylon breaker. Vectran™ Breaker does not adversely affect the rolling resistance.
BlackChili
It’s all about how you mix it
With our unique tread compound, which is produced only in Germany, we have revolutionised the sport of cycling. With the legendary BlackChili Compound we have answered the eternal question of the best balance of grip and rolling resistance for cycling.
Regular test wins confirm the measureable and noticeable advantages for the cyclist, established in the laboratory and on the road. The latest polymers as well as specially developed carbon black particles and filler materials guarantee unique performance
