Hi XTC OKE

 

 

 

I have had the Race King Worldcup editions for a half a year. I could not make them seal with Stan's on XTR rims - but that could be due to my lack of experience. I ride them with tubes, and have had 2- 3 punctures.

 

 

 

Whilst I appreciate the low rolling resistance of the Race Kings, I would like to have more grip and traction. My other bike has 2.4" Mountain King Protections, and they provide subjectively significantly more traction and seal with Stan's. Thus, I will be retiring the Race Kings and replacing them with 2.2" Mountain King Protections + (hopefully) Stan's. I know there is a weight penalty, but for me, it is worth it.
