"I received the Kryptotal tires during Crankworx Whistler, where Continental whisked us away for a heli drop to try them out! Alongside special guests Gee and Dan Atherton, the media crew got to enjoy a lengthy downhill run featuring rocky alpine terrain, forested areas with loose but grippy dirt, and looser, dustier lower sections. Since then I've been riding them on my home trails in various weather conditions, so read on to find out how they fared through my on-trail testing."
"The rear Kryptotal tire offers large side knobs of a similar shape to the front tire, but they sit on slight inward angles. In between are alternating double rows of wide and triangular center knobs, and the triangular knobs also alternate between two slightly different shapes. This tread features sipes on every knob, and like the front, the tread leaves some room between the knobs."
"Trail or Enduro MTB products face the tough task of doing everything well. When it comes to tires, that means ensuring good traction, ample sidewall support and reasonable rolling resistance. Continental's Kryptotal tires were designed to offer an ideal all-around tread, and I'd say they delivered on that claim while keeping their weight in check."
Continental's Kryptotal tires target enduro and trail riders by balancing traction, braking grip, and rolling resistance. Testing included a heli drop at Crankworx Whistler across rocky alpine terrain, forested sections with loose yet grippy dirt, and looser, dustier lower trails, followed by additional home-trail rides in varied weather. The Kryptotal line uses front- and rear-specific tread designs: a front with large side knobs, alternating double and triple row center knobs with sipes and mixed ramp angles; and a rear with inward-angled side knobs plus alternating wide and triangular center knobs with sipes on every knob. The tires tested were 29×2.4" Fr SuperSoft front and Re Soft rear, both built on Continental's single-ply Enduro casing with Apex protection to resist pinching.
