Key features and benefits

König ATC
The König ATC device is based on an elastic cord running on a system of pulleys located inside the tensioning device getting connected by the end user to the Micro-Adjust cable.

As soon as the wheel rotates, the elastic recalls the Micro-Adjust cable and put the chain under tension. The more the vehicle is driven, the more the chain gets properly tightened.

Contrary to other automatic tensioning systems on the market, the König ATC working geometry is transverse versus the wheel, allowing not only a proper tensioning but also centering and balancing the chain while driving. 1 of 4
König Micro-Adjust
The micro-adjustability allows König snow chains to reach a hyper-precise tensioning level according to the different tyre sizes, tyre profiles and wheel combinations.

The micro-adjustability function on traditional fitting snow chains is represented by the Micro-Adjust and locking devices paired together: the trigger of the locking device controls the sliding of the Micro-Adjust plastic cones and locks with approx 8mm snaps.

The Micro-Adjust technology provides an easy-to-handle and effective tensioning solution, 3 time more precise than the conventional tensioning chains. 2 of 4
Adjusting links

Adjusting links are connected to the front closing hook and they allow the front side of the chain to get smaller or larger to allow a more precise snow chain fit on different tyre sizes, profiles and wear levels.

Nylon bumpers for Wheel-Shield Level 1
The König Wheel-Shield Level 1 offers a full alloy wheel protection from the typical scratches of unprotected snow chains. All the components which might get in touch with the rim are manufactured in or covered by anti-scratch composite material.

Additionally side hooks are covered by a specific set of nylon bumpers which detatch side elements from the rim profile. 4 of 4
Performing, just great.

The new special cross-section design is partial carry-over of the tried and tested König XG-12 Pro cross-section.

Thanks to the triple traction bar design, the König XG Cross incorporates additional traction elements and more aggressive geometry making the difference in the most demanding driving situations.

Short pitch fine links

The links of the cross-sections are short-pitch low-profile links with a maxium thickness of 9mm.

2 of 2
Traditional fitting system with flexible cable (ground-up system)

The ground-up fitting system is based on the flexible cable sliding on the ground behind the wheel, allowing all the chain parts get connected without moving the vehicle.
