Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tour 700c Tire (HS 619)

The real things! Great tires!

These hard to find two inch touring tires were listed on Amazon, but were Marathon Plus at one supplier and another supplier there had several reviews suggesting they had gotten factory seconds! Bikes Direct had the correct tires with the model numbers I was seeking. They arrived timely and I replaced the MTB knobbies on my Priority Bruzer! Great ride for long rail trails and tow paths! Good rolling resistance and A solid ride. I have put 3000 miles on them with no complaints.

Marathon plus 20x1.35: a challenge to mount (but very durable and swift rolling)

I mounted these on our Bike Friday Pocket Tourists that fit in Samsonite suitcases for air travel.

They were a challenge to mount but I used a tire bead jack that helped enormously.

The marathon pluses are extremely tough and flat resistant...the rolling resistance seems minimal as they are nearly as quick and effortless as the much narrower and lighter Schwalbe Durano 20 x1.1 that they are replacing.

These tires also seem to be a good choice for both pavement and gravel

Schwalbe Marathon E-Plus 700c Tire

Best e-bike tires!

I replaced the Kenda tires that came with my e-bike, which barely lasted a week. In my observation, these new tires are very robust and built to last, unlike the Kenda tires, which crumbled when I removed them. Installing the new tires was tough, I even ended up bleeding from my thumbnails! However, once on, these tires provide excellent grip when pushed hard.

I do recommend practising safety above all else, as e-bikes can be tough on tires. These tires are CE-R75 certified, which is the highest standard in Europe. I've ridden over a thousand miles on them now, and the wear is minimal, I can still see the factory mould lines. Zero flats and I'm confident there won't be anytime soon.

Comfort is also top-notch; I can ride for long periods without realising how much time has passed. I highly recommend these tires for e-bikes, especially since tire weight isn't a significant concern.

Schwalbe PRO ONE TLE 700c Road Tire (HS493)

Fast tire with great tire

Review for the 38mm Schwalbe Pro One TLE tire. I installed a 38mm Pro One TLE to replace a worn 34mm Pro One TLE on my Specialized Turbo Creo e-bike that I use for work commuting, which is a 48 mile round trip commute. The extra 4mm width added some comfort/cush to the stiff riding frame. Commuted 1500 miles on this (rear) tire with no issues. Held air just fine and no flats in over 1600 miles commuting. Some conditions include sticks/twigs/debris on a canopy covered trail. Tire is starting to square off but after 1600 miles w/ average speed at 21.3mph with the power of an e-bike, I'd say this tire handled it just fine.
