Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tire

The Schwalbe Marathon Plus is Schwalbe’s best-selling tire and a trusted choice for cyclists who want exceptional protection against everyday punctures. Its patented 5 mm SmartGuard puncture-protection layer provides outstanding defense against common tire hazards like glass, sharp stones, flints and metal debris.

While no pneumatic tire can guarantee that you’ll never get a flat, Marathon Plus offers some of the best puncture protection available — making it an excellent choice for commuters, recreational riders, touring cyclists and e-bike riders.

Built for long-lasting performance, Marathon Plus features:

• 5 mm SmartGuard Protection: A thick, highly effective puncture-protection layer helps shield the tube from sharp objects, including thumbtacks.

• Low Rolling Resistance: Despite its substantial puncture protection, the patented SmartGuard construction is designed to maintain efficient rolling performance.

• Recycled Materials: SmartGuard incorporates a portion of recycled rubber from used latex products.

• Anti-Aging Sidewalls: Improved sidewall construction provides greater resistance to cracking, even when the tire is occasionally ridden with low air pressure.

• E-Bike Ready: Marathon Plus is an excellent choice for e-bikes. Main sizes are approved and tested for e-bikes with speeds of up to 50 km/h.

Important: Because of the unique construction of the Marathon Plus, always use a pressure gauge when checking tire pressure. The traditional “thumb check” is not reliable for this tire.
