The name Grand Prix has become a brand of its own in cycling circles worldwide. The Grand Prix is THE classic tire marking quality and performance. Not unlike its predecessor, this generation is eager to change traditional standards. The new Grand Prix marks the trend toward wider tires in performance cycling. Wider tires roll easier, yield higher mileage and offer more comfort and grip, therefore the new Grand Prix profile is 24mm. Wide enough to exploit the advantages of wider tires, but still light and slim enough to improve the performance of any racing machine.
The Race King has presented itself as a talented newcomer in the best way possible - with victories! Irina Kalentieva - Topeak/Ergon took the first prototype to the podium at the 2007 UCI World Cup Championships. The secret of the Race King is a large volume casing mated to a low-profile tread pattern that not only spells speed, but also incredible all-round traction and control. Paired with our proprietary Black Chili compound, and weighing in at a scant 460g (2.2 SuperSonic), the Race King will impress through an incredibly wide variety of conditions. Choose the 2.0 for the ultimate XC weapon, or the 2.2 when a slightly bigger footprint is needed. Riding a 29’er? The 29 x 2.2 is bound to be one of the most desirable big wheels in the game.
