Product Information

With a centre tread, this Schwalbe Tyre provides low rolling resistance and virtually noiseless running, so you can enjoy the sounds of the great outdoors in pure serenity. Cycling is today considered a progressive form of personal transport that offers nothing but advantages – with one unfortunate exception: the tire puncture. Schwalbe identified this problem at an early stage and has continually set new milestones in matters of puncture protection. For example, Schwalbe offers touring and city tires that can call themselves “flat-less”. For high-performance cycling, our Tubeless Easy Technology combined with tire sealant also sets new benchmarks in preventing punctures. And almost all other Schwalbe tires have an integrated puncture protection belt. Schwalbe tires for the future.

Spa Cycles have a useful video showing how to fit these tyres: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XUFVrl0UT4‎ Samuel D wrote:Whether you would notice the 5-odd watt difference in power absorption (per pair of tyres at a typical all-up weight and touring speed) of the standard Marathon and Marathon Plus is an open question. It’s certainly not a big difference. But it is a small downside for no gain if the standard Marathon already provides sufficient puncture protection, and I think for most people it does. I use Marathons (HS308) for touring with full camping gear and have had one puncture in the last 13 years. RECYCLING. Also in the SmartGuard, we use a proportion of recycled C50rubber from old latex products. Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Tyres.

SmartGuard®

When we compare the Marathon tires to similar tires from different brands, the Schwalbe tires seem to be in another league when you take both puncture and rolling resistance into consideration. At least at the time of this writing, the other brands just can't compete. Earlier versions had Kevlar layers in. To confuse the issue still further Schwalbe sold other tyres for a while with a 'Kevlar guard' layer in. Then it became 'K-guard' in some models and this appears to be a rubber layer with no Kevlar.
