What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I’ve been using the 29 x 2. 40 Grip Magnotal for mixed trail days—it’s fast-rolling but hooks up when I need it to. If things are damp or steep, I’ll switch to the Soft compound. Both seat tubeless easily and give me peace of mind with that sturdy Trail casing."When our rides mix chunky climbs with rooty descents and sidehill switchbacks, we count on the Continental Magnotal Tire to keep control feeling intuitive and traction feeling locked in. Built for trail, downcountry, and all-mountain riding, this tire balances speed and security across a variety of surfaces and weather conditions. The Grip compound provides low rolling resistance with consistent trail traction—ideal for long days and rolling terrain—while the Soft option enhances grip on wet or technical descents. Each version uses Continental’s Trail casing: a durable single-ply construction with added sidewall protection and E25 e-bike certification, so it’s built to withstand modern torque and trail demands. With reliable puncture resistance and confident cornering feel, the Magnotal helps us charge confidently no matter the terrain.
