## Description

From the manufacturer In the first decades after World War II, the bicycle tire was considered a massive interchangeable product that could practically not be improved. In the 1980s, cycling was re-established as a popular trend as more and more people climbed back into the saddle. It was in this context that Schwalbe, established in 1973, emerged as a benchmark in the bicycle tire market. The release of the legendary Schwalbe Marathon tire in 1983, with its unprecedented mileage, was greeted with great enthusiasm by cyclists and specialist journalists. You can find Schwalbe bicycle tires in the USA. In South Africa, Japan and Australia. In Europe, they are the most important player! They are "tire fanatics" and are 100% committed to bicycles and, for several years, to wheelchairs. TIRE TECHNOLOGY FOR OPTIMAL DRIVING EXPERIENCE Whether you have a city bike, touring bike, road bike, gravel bike, or MTB: tires affect the riding experience like no other component of the bike. The choice of tire not only determines how well the wheel grips the ground, but also influences the ease and comfort of the bike to roll. Ideally, the tire combines such characteristics as maximum grip, high mileage, optimal rolling properties, low weight and reliable puncture resistance. Sounds technical? The sum of these properties is tangible for all cyclists: as an optimal riding experience. At Schwalbe, they work to continuously refine and improve this driving sensation, day after day. TYRES FOR ALL TYPES OF BIKES The bicycle world has become increasingly diverse over the years. New categories, such as MTB, gravel bike, and last but not least, the electric bike, created entirely new market segments and presented hitherto unknown challenges for tyres. In this context, Schwalbe deliberately chose to focus on the development of innovative tires and tubes, rather than extending the company's activities to the technically quite different automotive tire sector. This strategy turned out to be absolutely successful: when Schwalbe released the first off-road tires in the mid-nineties, the firm quickly became known as the best brand among mountain bikers. Today, millions of MTB riders worldwide rely on Schwalbe MTB tires with their distinctive names, such as Nobby Nic, Racing Ralph, Billy Bonkers, Dirty Dan, Magic Mary or Hans Dampf.

Review: Absolutely top top class and easy to fit. - I had four punctures in only about 120 miles of cycling on my new Trek DS Sport 8.6 with Bontrager tyres. The bike’s great, but the tyres are rubbish, and as I was buying my third pair of replacement inner tubes the sales guy suggested puncture protective tyres. Frankly, mechanical ignoramus that I am, I did not even know such things existed. As usual a visit to desertcart produced a great selection; I always regard price as a give-away on items you want to reply on and so the slightly higher price than most and the large number of 5 stars attracted me to these Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres. It is in my nature to worry a lot about reviews that express difficulty in performing manual tasks; this is because I am a total half-wit when it comes to doing anything with my hands. I get men to do even the simplest of tasks in the home and any device in need of repair is either simply replaced or sent to a mender. My skills extend to very minor mechanical tasks but this does at least include mending punctures (or rather replacing the inner tube) and I have put new tyres on a bike before as well. I figured there was a You Tube video; I had got string and cable ties if needed; I’d had tyres on and off many times before and, most encouraging of all, and probably the decider for me, many of the reviews plainly thought the difficulties of fitting, expressed by so many, were exaggerated. So I decided to take the risk. To say they were much easier than I expected would be a huge understatement. Unfortunately, I cannot say that the exercise was trouble free but I believe this to be due to my own carelessness and absolutely not any refleciton of the tyre. On my first attempt everything seemed perfect and I had got the tyre on so easily I actually wondered if I had received the same tyre as ordered. However, on inflation, reaching about 80 psi the inner tube burst. Yet another tube up the Swuanee. I am still not entirely clear what caused this but I think I had not checked thoroughly and there was a place where the tyre was not on the rim properly. None weeks later I still have some minor hearing loss from the bang and ringing in my ears and I am awaiting an apppointment at Ear Nose and Throat. This is not a joke or an exaggeration. I am told I may have permanent damage. Be warned! Anyway, undaunted I tried again. The second time around, again dead easy to get the tyre on, but this time I made extra sure that it was sat perfectly in the rim and that the tube was not caught between tyre and rim in any place. I also inflated it gingerly and checked the tyre at about 2 bar before going further. This time all went smoothly; with this practice the other wheel took no time at all. I didn’t need the YouTube video, I didn’t need string or cable ties, I didn’t even need a tyre lever. I was able to get them on with my fingers alone. I just did not find that the tyre came off on one side as you worked in the other as so many seemed to find. I am not showing off. I want people to know that they are much easier than some would have you believe. If I can do it, anyone can do it, trust me on this. They look the part as well and the ride is undoubtedly smoother and even more comfortable than it was before. Nor do they seem to me to be materially heavier than what I had before. I found that I did not need to blow them up to the 80 to 85 psi I used to use previously with my Bontrager tyres. 70 psi seemed perfectly sufficient. So far, after nine weeks as already mentioned, and much use, I have not had a single puncture. To say that I am mightily impressed would be a massive understatement. These tyres really are the business. Absolutely first class.
Review: Great quality - Good adherence and great when breaking. My Brompton feels like another bike

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality
*by A***E on 20 March 2026*

Good adherence and great when breaking. My Brompton feels like another bike

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good long wearing tyre, will last for many miles from a well known manufacture
*by R***S on 1 February 2026*

I have been using Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres in various sizes for some years; for road or gravel use I find them fine, however they can be a hard ride when inflated to the recommended pressure.. I bought a pair of these to replace the rather unsuitable tyres fitted to the folding bike I had bought. Since I bought these I have travelled around 250Kms with around 150Km on gravel cycle route, and as is normal for these tyres they show very little wear. On surfaced roads I have found them a little twitchy on corners as there very little flex in then, but they do roll fast. Be aware these are a very tight tyre to fit and there is a knack to fitting them, so if you are new to fitting tyres, be prepared for much cussing and expletives’ you also need good tyre levers none of those cheap plastic ones as sold on some online shops. Whilst these tyres are expensive they provide good value as they are long lasting and really do stop the puncture fairy from having party time. You might also have to remove your mud guards as they have a high profile.
