[Closed] Are mountain king non-chilli any good?

Not even if they were cheap, which they aren't. Black chili Mountain Kings are ordinary at best tbh, cheapo ones are like something from the late 80s.

No.

I will try and elaborate - NO!

In other words cheap OEM stuff. The chilli versions are fine ime - even if they have lots of detractors.

Basically - they're like cheap rock hard "ever last" car tyres.

I've used conti's of various sorts for years - never had the black chilli variant in any type. Got ordinary Mountain Kings on my Singlespeed, and I'd buy 'em again.

Bought as set from onone.(2.4 i think)
1 ride and fleabayed them.Downright dangerous as just no grip at all.
Scared the bejesus out of me..

I have some UST non Black Chilli Mountain King Mk1s on my hardtail. They've been fine TBH.

Excellent tyre....... for crashing !!!!!

Stay well away from them. Horrible bits of rubber!!!

I like mine. They're not the best, but they are predictable.

I swear the future of mountain biking is scary tyres. Makes things way more exciting.

i had them and thought they were poo. went and bought a set of bontrager xr4's, way better..
