SchwalbeMarathon Plus 26" Tire (HS 440)(Return to Product Page)

I have had good luck with this tire on my trike. Not the fastest but great flat resistance,

I have an electric cargo bike. I do vast kms on it with up to 70 kg cargo. I can't afford to get a puncture at any time. This tyre gives me that peace of mind.

My wife and I rode 1,200 km following Eurovelo 15 in the Summer of 2019, and they hardly look used! No punctures!

Awesome tire

Excellent product, I have been using Marathon tires for 2 yrs great tires.

The quality of the tires of this brand is very good. I like it very much. There is a protective film inside

Living in the southwest, we have a nasty problem, called goat heads. These are little seeds that have 4 points, always rest on 3 with one sticking up. And they puncture everything they even go straight through Kevlar inlays, puncture free inner tubes, and since the points break off in the tire even slime does not seal it anymore. Goat heads are a cause for a flat a week at least!!

A few years ago I started on these Schwalbe Marathon Plus. Now, thousands of miles later Not a single flat!!!! And I cannot say I feel a difference in riding, as some people complain about. These tires are just straight up the best to get.

I had 4 flats in the last 4 months and wanted something that would stand the test. After researching various tires, I settled on the marathon plus. Installation was a little more difficult than other tires for some reason and these tires are not for the weight conscious. However, after 2 months I'm vert happy with them. No flats - and I've ridden through some rough city streets!

I put this tire on a friends xtra cycle(rear wheel). He carries a bunch of weight on the rear. It was a little hard to seat on the rim, but I eventually got it on.

These are the best tires I've found for my commutertouring bike. I've run over some crunchy debris during my early morning commute that would surely have been an instant flat with other tires. Haven't heard that awful puncture hiss yet, but for extra assurance I pair them with tire liners. I've gone on a few self-supported, solo tours with fully-loaded panniers, and can tell you that the last thing I want to mess with on a trip is a flat tire. My last set of Schwalbes lasted over 5,000 miles and I'm sure these will be just as sturdy.

I dident get a chance to use this 26" on my winter recumbent. But I do have a 20 on the front. First day out. Tire got a huge cut in it. Down to the tread. But the tire did not fail. Wet traction is great. Rolling resistance is what you would expect. I think these tires will suit my winter rides perfectly.

On a surly IHT beck tire. Excellent ride for this clydesdale

I've ridden coast to coast across America on Schwalbe tires, and I recently purchased this specific width of tire for a rail-trail tour on the Blue River, Chief Standing Bear, Homestead and Mopac rail-trails in NE Kansas and SE Nebraska. We had heard that there might be goatheads on a section of these trails, so I wanted the best protection for worry-free riding. I had a fabulous six-day tour out and back on these trails and not a single puncture. The tires also handled a rainy, wet day on the trail with absolutely no problem - this width of tire cut into the top wet layer of crushed limestone with fabulous handling (while my touring partner's wider tires floated a bit on top, making his bike harder to handle). Fabulous worry-free tire that's perfect for touring on rail-trails.

Lower drag (gained 1 mph) compared to knobbies, and one of only few tires that fit on my existing rims. Worked well for driving on roads and packed gravel for a cross-country trek over the pass. Great for commuting to work as well.

These tires are not light but for touring or for your commuter you cannot go wrong. Nearly bullet proof.

Bought these while in Arizona to resist constantly getting flats from goat-heads. Since putting these on I've been flat free and can enjoy the ride instead of being on the side of the road fixing yet another flat. Will purchase again.

Very good price and order came in within 4 days. Little hard to install but able to put on without too much trouble. So far with 300 miles & going strong.

I love them. I tour and Commute averaging about 125 miles a week and these tires are solid

My first choice for my ebike was a Continental Contact Plus Tire which wasn�t available. I decided I would order a Schwalbe Marathon. I am very satisfied with this tire and would order it again.

I use this tire on my five mile work commute. It has great tread wear and very puncture resistant ! Bomb Proof ! Makes the Long Haul Trucker roll smooth as glass...
