Description
Good For Your Ride And Our Environment
The Schwalbe Green Marathon 26" is the first bicycle tire with a closed-loop product cycle. They are made from 100% Fair Rubber, including 70% from recycled and renewable raw materials, resulting in reduced pollutants by 98% and reduced CO2 footprint by 34%. All at the same time maintaining the optimized riding performance and all of the durability that you have come to expect from previous Marathons.
The GreenGuard puncture protection layer under the tread is made of 3mm flexible, special India rubber partly from recycling for particularly reliable protection.
Schwalbe E-50 certification marks tires with European ECE-R75 approval, their recommendation for fast E-Bikes — S-Pedelecs with type approval, insurance, and motor assist over 25 km/h — for which a special tire approval is necessary.

Reviews
Personally, don't care about sustainability but if that floats your boat ... The Schwalbe is a well built tire for daily rides especially if you find yourself on less than ideal road surfaces. The tread pattern accomodates all surfaces, wet or dry and rides well with minimal noise and vibration. The traction and cornering are good and mounting is easy. Reflective sidewalls are kind of 'fred' but seeing other riders after dark with illuminated wheels and knowing how drivers who are 'bicycle blind' in the daylight don't get improved vision after dark it just makes good sense to make yourself as visible as possible and live to ride another day.
I have run this tire on the back of our tandem for about a year, 40 miles a week. Only one flat, a small nail. The tire looks almost brand new with very little wear. I bought another to replace the front tire when it needs replacing.
