Schwalbe Marathon Plus 700 x 28c (28-622) Wire Bead Tyre with Smartguard and Reflective Sidewall

Product Information

The Schwalbe Tyre Marathon Plus lasts much longer than previous models thanks to its anti-aging side wall, aiding to stop developing unsightly cracks when the Schwalbe Tyre is subjected to use with low air pressure. Rolling resistance is much lower than their girth and deep tread pattern would suggest and the clever sub layer seems vastly superior to Kevlar, inspiring confidence when negotiating town centre streets littered with glass, tacks/similar nasties. I never had a puncture since fitting these, but they aren't the most comfortable tyres I've used due to their stiff casing.

I've just bought a new bike with the former, and wonder if changing to Plus is a waste of time and money. The patented, 5mm thick SmartGuard layer, when compared to all generic products, has a significant advantage in rolling resistance.

I used 23mm Open Corsa CX's all through the winter, commuting, training etc, and they're still going now.

This is only because my route includes some underpasses that the local youths are trying to turn into bottle banks. Its advanced design offers a lighter roll for a comfortable, smooth, and safe ride, meaning Racing and club cyclists, commuters, touring cyclists, and E-Bike riders can all enjoy the benefits of increased puncture protection. This is essentially a clever subsection of supple rubber designed to force sharps out, rather than drawing them in as deep treaded Kevlar types can, especially with age.The Original offers the broadest range of sizes among the Marathon Plus lineup, with 18 different versions in 16”, 20”, 24”, 26”, 27. I originally found these to feel VERY slow, but this improved as they wore in and the sidewalls became more supple.
