Continental Rubber Queen UST Tubeless Tire
Product DescriptionContinental Rubber Queen UST Tubeless Tire Pro Review
I tested and reviewed the Continental Rubber Queen’s (now known as the Trail King in the US) about a year ago, and thought they were a great tire. Brett Hahn the US Brand Manager for Continental, asked me to try out the UST version of the RQ’s. Since then, I have bashed and smashed the tires through just about any terrain imaginable, and they have turned out to be stout, durable, with excellent traction and best of all are big and meaty!

from Vic, BC Date Reviewed: February 10, 2011 Strengths: It's a 2.4 huge tire and rolls better than most, no all 2.3's I've tried. Even at 28psi, WT? Grip grip grip (grips like a monkey to the last banana in the tree) Ability to run low psi (tubeless) Quality Have I said how well it rolls Weaknesses: Price maybe. $130 for a pair makes my eyes water. BUT I really hope these are the answer to my grip, low psi, no pinchers prayers. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Who is YOUR daddy?

from Birmingham, AL USA Date Reviewed: October 26, 2010 Strengths: These are now the Trail Kings I believe. I am changing from Nevegal 2.3's UST to the 2.2 and they are a little lighter, roll better with a rounded profile and have similar grip on the rear. I consider this more of a rear tire due to the lack of projecting side knobs and round profile. Weaknesses: Hard to inflate on Mavic rims Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Oak Mnt Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $54.00 Purchased At: Full Cycles Similar Products Used: Highrollers, Nevegals, Octapus Bike Setup: Trail SCBLT2

from Munich, Germany Date Reviewed: February 17, 2009 Strengths: I actually have the 2.2 version of these and what an awesome pair of tyres they are! As it's snowy and icy around these parts I did not expect to stay on my bike for the entire ride, but these tyres did me proud. They even made it up the mad climb at the end there which had me dumbstruck.. The UST part was a no brainer, I stuck them on my Crank Bros Iodine rims with no problems at all. Will come back and re-review as the year goes on and the trails change.. Weaknesses: Cost a lot of money, but then I am an early adopter. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Tremalzo, Italy Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $60.00 Purchased At: tnc-hamburg.de Similar Products Used: Kenda, Tioga, Coni's etc... Bike Setup: Orange 5, All Mountain setup..
