The Kryptotal Fr has been optimised for aggressive front wheel use and is the mixed conditions specialist in Continental’s Gravity Range – and it excels in this sector with multiple World Cup DH and EWS podiums. The Soft compound is the gummiest option available in the Enduro casing and provides a good balance of traction, durability and rolling resistance. The Enduro casing is robust and supportive while remaining compliant and surprisingly light, making it a great choice for all-mountain and enduro use.

The Renthal Revo-F pedals are the iconic UK component brands' recently launched flat pedal, and it's a top-tier option for riders looking for both performance and durability in their flat pedal setup.

Only the high asking price and the fact that it should be lighter for that price stop it from getting a perfect score.
