RECYCLING. Also in the SmartGuard, we use a proportion of recycled C50rubber from old latex products. Wider tyres can be run at lower pressures than narrower tyres without increasing the risk of punctures. This can make them more comfortable and gives you more grip, useful if you are an all-weather cyclist. Performance Line: Excellent quality for intensive use. They are the very best value for money tyres.Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tyres are essentially heavy duty, ultra reliable commu-touring tyres that inspire unprecedented confidence without feeling sluggish or barge-like, as the 970g weight for a pair would imply. Puncture Force Sharp Needle: Pre-2021, this score was known as 'Puncture Resistance'. On some tires with weakly bonded casing wires, the sharp needle can split the casing wires resulting in a lower score. Weight: 700x25c 595g / 700x28c 750g / 700x32c 810g / 700x35c 900g / 700x38c 960g, 26: 26x2.35 775g / 26x1.50 870g / 26x1.75 995g / 26x2.00 1100g, 27.5x1.50 920g

They are also e-bike ready with this model being E-25 (up to 25kph - UK assisted maximum), whilst others in the lineup are E-50 (up to 50 kph) compliant. But it is always going to be a very individual choice, with the right tyre for you depending on your unique combination of road surface and preferences. Ride through broken glass! The new Marathon Plus with SMART GUARD makes it possible thanks to the highly flexible, special rubber layer. The revolutionary feature of this new puncture protection system is its 'super-ball' characteristics. The Smart Guard special rubber protection belt is so flexible that it has no effect on rolling resistance, unlike traditional puncture protection systems which increase a tire's rolling resistance. The approximate 200 gram extra weight compared with the 'classic' Marathon is hardly noticeable in everyday use. Once out cycling, I was pleased how comfortable they were to ride with. I was surprised how well they hid their 750g weight too. The Laterite test bike came shod with Schwalbe Lugano II wired bead 25c tires, which are less than half the weight of the Marathons at 365g - and yet the Marathons felt more comfortable.The Marathon Plus 28c tire uses a wire bead with the ADDIX rubber compound being used in the tread. Underneath the tread, the SmartGuard anti puncture strip uses a proportion of recycled C50 rubber from old latex products. E-bike ready: Special tyres are necessary for fast E-bikes. The best solution is tyres with ECE-R75 certification, valid throughout Europe. All of Schwalbe’s Energizer tyres bear the mark and are valid on vehicles up to 50 km/h
