Hanover, Germany, April 10, 2025: Continental has launched three all-new MTB tires in April 2025, designed to provide riders with increased performance, durability, and ultimate grip on every trail. These tires, Dubnital, Trinotal, and Magnotal sit alongside the acclaimed Gravity range, ensuring that every rider, from XC racers to trail enthusiasts, finds the perfect tire for their chosen terrain.

Built on years of expertise and extensive real-world testing, Continental's latest tires inherit the trusted performance of the Gravity range. Featuring cutting-edge tread patterns and advanced casing technology, these models are designed to enhance rider confidence, tackle technical challenges, and provide long-lasting durability. Whether on high-speed courses, aggressive trails, or all-mountain adventures, they provide the traction and control riders need to push their limits.

Dubnital – master of speed

Dubnital is engineered for dry to damp conditions and is ideal for rocky, hardpack, and medium-loose soils. It is built to meet the needs of XC and downcountry riders who demand maximum speed. A direct successor to the beloved 'Race King', Dubnital takes performance to the next level with its cutting-edge tread and advanced rubber compounds. The result? Unmatched efficiency, grip and control at high speeds.

Trinotal – control the terrain

Designed for versatility, Trinotal excels in dry to wet conditions and handles a mix of hard and loose soils. Perfect for XC and downcountry riders, this tire offers superior grip and stability, allowing riders to confidently navigate a variety of terrains. Replacing the popular 'Cross King', Trinotal conquers the unpredictable challenges of modern trail riding with precision and control.

Magnotal – dominate wherever you ride

Magnotal is built for aggressive all-mountain and trail riders seeking the perfect balance between performance and control. It thrives in dry to wet conditions, handling hard, loose, and muddy soils with ease. As the direct successor to the 'Mountain King', this all-rounder tire bridges the gap between gravity and XC/DC riding, setting a new standard for versatility. Magnotal offers exceptional grip for riders pushing their limits on the most challenging terrain.

Built for performance: a comprehensive MTB tire range

Continental’s expanded MTB range now spans eight models, with the three new tires joining the existing five models from the Gravity range to complete the MTB family. Each Gravity tire is designed to optimize performance across different conditions:

Xynotal: Unrivaled control over rock and hardpack terrain
Kryptotal Front and Rear: The perfect balance of stability, traction, and rolling resistance for mixed terrain
Argotal: Cornering stability and enhanced side grip for loose conditions
Hydrotal: Maximum grip and self-cleaning performance for wet and muddy trails

With the launch of these three new models, Continental continues to set the standard for MTB tire innovation. The expanded MTB range draws on years of experience, cutting-edge technology, and rigorous testing to ensure that riders — from racers to weekend warriors — experience the ultimate in grip, durability, and control.

Grip For Every Trail

Commenting on the launch, Alexander Haenke, Product Manager for MTB & Gravel at Continental Tires, said: “With the introduction of Dubnital, Trinotal, and Magnotal, we are proud to complete the overhaul of our MTB lineup, finally replacing our iconic 'Kings’. The new models now seamlessly fit into the nomenclature and logic of our Gravity range tires, and give riders the freedom to use our portfolio as a playground to create their perfect setup. We’ve tested these tires with gold-medal-winning athletes to ensure they perform at the highest level — now it’s your turn to push their limits. While our technology has already been proven in the world of gravity, we’re excited to see how riders take them to new heights across other disciplines”.
