Description
Engineered to replace the iconic Cross King, the Continental Trinotal is a next-generation tire for riders who demand speed, grip, and versatility across varied terrain. Designed for modern cross-country, down-country, trail, and even e-MTB applications, Trinotal shines on hardpack and light mixed soil—whether dry or damp. The advanced tread profile features a redesigned center with increased studs and void volume for exceptional traction, a siped transition zone for smooth terrain adaptation, and a reinforced shoulder for aggressive cornering stability. Available in Trail or Race casing and Grip or Rapid compounds, riders can tailor performance for either pure speed or maximum control. Trinotal is tubeless-ready, hookless compatible, and E25 e-bike rated, offering both comfort and puncture protection at lower pressures.
At its core, Trinotal is all about choice and performance. The Race casing is Continental’s lightest and fastest MTB construction, offering a supple, single-ply build reinforced for tubeless reliability and reduced weight—ideal for XC racing and fast-paced down-country riding. The Trail casing is more adaptive and robust, engineered to withstand aggressive terrain while maintaining suppleness and grip. For riders seeking uncompromising speed, the Rapid compound delivers road-inspired rolling efficiency and acceleration. For those prioritizing control, the Grip compound offers damping, flexibility, and traction on loose and unpredictable surfaces. With cutting-edge construction, terrain-optimized tread zones, and a choice of performance tunings, the Continental Trinotal redefines what’s possible for modern off-road riding.
