SCHWALBE TYRE MARATHON PLUS

THE FLAT-LESS TIRE. Schwalbe‘s best selling model. The most puncture resistant pneumatic tire there is. In addition to the superior puncture protection it features many inner values:

ROLLING RESISTANCE. The patented, 5 mm thick SmartGuard layer, when compared to all generic products, has a significant advantage in rolling resistance.

RECYCLING. Also in the SmartGuard, we use a proportion of recycled rubber from old latex products

"ANTI-AGING" SIDE WALL. It now lasts much longer before developing unsightly cracks when subjected to use with too low air pressure.

E-BIKE READY. Due to its great properties Marathon Plus is an ideal choice for E-Bikes (E-25). The main sizes are approved and tested for E-bikes up to 50 km/h.

FLAT-LESS WITH MARATHON PLUS.
Only Marathon Plus tires make your bicycle flat-less. The 5mm thick puncture guard protects even against thumbtacks. www.schwalbtires.com/blog/news/innovation/flat-less/

It is impossible to guarantee that a flat will never happen, but the Marathon Plus has the best defense against everyday tire wreckers such as glass, flints or metal shards. Use a pressure gauge to adjust tire pressures as the common 'thumb check' is insufficient due to the special construction of the Marathon Plus.

NOTE: Tyres which include "Reflex" in the colourway includes a reflective strip on the sidewall.

  • Performance Line
    • Excellent quality for intensive use.
  • Endurance Compound
    • The Marathon compound for the highest durability.
  • SmartGuard®
    • The most effective protection belt for bicycle and e-bike tires. 5 mm of highly elastic special rubber. Only tires with SmartGuard® and Smart DualGuard can rightly call themselves "unplattbar" or "flat-less". Exclusively from Schwalbe. Partly obtained from recycled material.
  • flat-less
    • Exclusively from Schwalbe. Only tires with SmartGuard® and Smart DualGuard puncture protection can rightly call themselves "unplattbar" or "flat-less". Proven a million times over - the safest choice for bikes and e-bikes. The flat-less puncture protection even protects against thumb tacks.
  • Recycling
    • Old products made of natural rubber (such as gloves, tubes...) are crumbed and, over several procedural steps, used as base material in the puncture protection system.
  • E-25
    • Tires with the recommendation "E-25" are the perfect choice for all pedelecs with pedal assistance up to 25 km/h. The most important criterion for this recommendation: safety.
  • E-50
    • E-Bike tires with European ECE-R75 approval. Our recommendation for fast E-Bikes - S-Pedelecs with type approval, insurance, and motor assist over 25 km/h – for which a special tire approval is necessary.
About Us

Though we’re a bike shop that sells, builds and fixes bicycles, they’re really just the means to an end; albeit a beautifully designed means to an idyllic end. Our job most importantly is to encourage as many people as we can to get out and ride for transport and enjoyment. We'd love to make riding a bike as commonplace as your morning cup of coffee, which by the way is our other obsession.
