At Sea Otter this spring we learned that Continental would be releasing at least one new 29″er tire model based on the Trail King family of tires and it would be offered in two different widths. Now I am hearing that indeed there will be even more offerings from the German manufacturer.

I’ve heard that Haro may be working on a couple more 29er models. They had great success with the Mary last year, sold them out quick. So they’ve decided to expand their offering.
