The Continental Kryptotal Rear DH is a rear-specific downhill tire designed for aggressive riding on mixed terrain, delivering maximum traction, strong braking, and reliable climbing grip. It complements the Kryptotal Front for a balanced, high-performance DH setup.

This tire is available in two sizes: 🔸 27.5 x 2.40 – ideal for mullet setups or agile bikes
🔸 29 x 2.40 – for speed, rollover capability, and high-speed control

Choose from two rubber compounds based on your ride style:

🔹 Soft Compound – great balance of grip, rolling efficiency, and longevity
🔹 SuperSoft Compound – maximum grip for steep, wet, or technical tracks

Featuring a reinforced DH casing for superior stability and puncture resistance, and tubeless-ready compatibility for lower pressures and better traction.

✅ Key Features:

Rear-wheel specific tread – optimized for braking and traction
Available in Soft and SuperSoft compounds
DH casing – for maximum durability and downhill performance
Tubeless Ready – for improved traction and fewer flats
Sizes: 27.5 x 2.40 and 29 x 2.40
Folding bead

Perfect for bike park laps, UCI-level DH tracks, or your go-to lines at Mont-Sainte-Anne, Bromont, or Sun Peaks.

INFORMATION

- SuperSoft: Our softest and grippiest compound in the MTB Gravity range. Especially for downhill and enduro use cases where the emphasis is on descending. Tires equipped with this compound are intended for riders who focus 100% on grip, traction, and control. Recommended for use cases with a high proportion of downhill riding.

- Soft: The balance between grip and rolling resistance for gravity-oriented use cases. High level of grip with reasonable rolling resistance. Option to optimize the rolling properties of your rear wheel on DH bike or have the optimal combo for Enduro or Trail.

- Casing DH: the most durable and reinforced casing construction for the most demanding descents

TECHNOLOGIES

The rolling properties of a tire's rubber compound are primarily determined by three interrelated factors: friction [grip], rolling resistance and mileage [durability]. The dilemma: if you improve one of these factors, it can have a negative effect on at least one of the others. A tire with maximum grip wears faster and rolls slower. If you then make a tire roll faster and longer, the grip, in turn, is reduced.

With our Black Chili compound, a tread compound that is still based on the latest knowledge in polymers and raw material research, we have provided the bicycle industry with a sustainable solution. Depending on a tire's application, we tailor the compound formulation to the specific discipline - for road or mountain biking, time trial or downhill.

How does it work? For the Black Chili, we refine special synthetic rubbers with proven natural rubber to achieve high performance tread blends. To these mixtures, we then add soot particles, whose shape and surface properties are optimized.
