Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- This tyre is also known as the "flat-less" tyre because the SmartGuard anti-puncture layer makes a flat virtually impossible.
- The ADDIX wear-resistant rubber compound ensures an extremely long product life.
- The Reflex reflective strips on the sides increase your visibility in traffic during the day and in the dark.
- The tyre is available in multiple widths ranging from 28 to 47 mm, each compatible with standard bikes and e-bikes with a top speed of 25 km/h.
- As the focus is on puncture protection and durability, the tyre is relatively heavy.

The Schwalbe Marathon Plus is the gold standard when it comes to puncture resistance: a sturdy, hard-wearing city bike tyre featuring Schwalbe's SmartGuard anti-puncture layer. Thanks to this highly effective protection, it has been regarded as "the flat-less tyre" for many years. Choose this tyre if you are looking for maximum reliability and a long service life, and would prefer to avoid punctures altogether.
If you ride an e-bike capable of speeds over 25 km/h, the Schwalbe Marathon E-Plus is a better choice, as it is specifically approved for speeds up to 50 km/h. If you are also looking for more comfort on long rides, take a look at the Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tour E-50.
If you ride an e-bike capable of speeds over 25 km/h, the Schwalbe Marathon E-Plus is a better choice, as it is specifically approved for speeds up to 50 km/h. If you are also looking for more comfort on long rides, take a look at the Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tour E-50.
SmartGuard puncture-resistant layer
Beneath the tread lies the thick SmartGuard layer, which blocks sharp objects such as glass, gravel and glass shards before they can reach the inner tube. It is a very effective technology that makes getting stranded with a flat tyre highly unlikely.
ADDIX rubber compound
The rubber in this tyre is formulated for maximum wear resistance, ensuring the tyre lasts a long time even with frequent and intensive use.
Compatible with:
- City bikes, trekking bikes and e-bikes (up to 25 km/h)
Not compatible with:
- Speed pedelecs or e-bikes travelling faster than 25 km/h – for these, choose the Schwalbe Marathon E-Plus (up to 50 km/h).
- Tubeless set-ups (i.e. without inner tubes) – this is a clincher tyre for use with an inner tube, not a tubeless tyre.
Not sure? Here’s how to check:
Look on the sidewall of your current tyre for the size, for example 37-622. Compare the first number (the tyre width) and the last number (ETRTO/rim size) with the table below to find the correct size.
| Size (ETRTO) | Size (inches) | Weight | Max. pressure | Min. pressure | Designed for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28-622 | 28x1.10 | 750 g | 7.5 bar / 110 psi | 5.5 bar / 80 psi | E-bike up to 25 km/h |
| 32-622 | 28x1.25 | 810 g | 6.5 bar / 95 psi | 4.5 bar / 65 psi | E-bike up to 25 km/h |
| 37-622 | 28x1.40 | 900 g | 6 bar / 85 psi | 4 bar / 55 psi | E-bike up to 25 km/h |
| 40-622 | 28x1.50 | 960 g | 6 bar / 85 psi | 3.5 bar / 50 psi | E-bike up to 25 km/h |
| 40–635 | 28x1 1/2 | 1,010 g | 6 bar / 85 psi | 3.5 bar / 50 psi | E-bike up to 25 km/h |
| 42-590 | 26 inches | 940 g | 6 bar / 85 psi | 3.5 bar / 50 psi | E-bike up to 25 km/h |
| 47–622 | 28x1.75 | 1,100 g | 5 bar / 70 psi | 3 bar / 45 psi | E-bike up to 25 km/h |

Standaard meegeleverd
- 1x Schwalbe Marathon Plus buitenband, in de door jou gekozen maat
- Een binnenband in de juiste maat en ventieltype, zie onze Schwalbe DV17 of Schwalbe SV17 binnenbanden
- Bandenlichters om je oude band te verwijderen, zie band & wiel gereedschap
- Een fietspomp, zie onze fietspompen
- Een bandenplakset voor onderweg, mocht je toch een keer lek rijden, zie de Simson reparatiedoos
Door de stevige SmartGuard-laag is deze band iets stugger te monteren dan een gewone buitenband: reken op 15 tot 20 minuten per wiel, en gebruik bandenlichters om het proces makkelijker te maken. Zorg dat de binnenband niet gekneld raakt tussen band en velg voordat je oppompt.
Twijfel je of je het zelf goed doet, of wil je het uitbesteed hebben? Onze Mantel-werkplaats monteert je nieuwe banden voor je.
Twijfel je of je het zelf goed doet, of wil je het uitbesteed hebben? Onze Mantel-werkplaats monteert je nieuwe banden voor je.
- Check je bandenspanning regelmatig en blijf binnen de min./max. druk voor jouw maat (zie tabel hierboven).
- Gebruik een pomp met drukmeter, zoals onze fietspompen met drukmeter, om nauwkeurig op te pompen.
- Ook met de SmartGuard-bescherming blijft een bandenplakset voor onderweg een verstandige aanvulling, voor het zeldzame geval dat je toch lek rijdt.
Waarom heet de Schwalbe Marathon Plus 'de onplatbare band'?
Dankzij de dikke SmartGuard anti-leklaag onder het loopvlak houdt deze band scherpe voorwerpen zoals glas en steentjes tegen voordat ze de binnenband kunnen raken. Dat maakt lekrijden vrijwel onmogelijk, vandaar de bijnaam.
Is de Schwalbe Marathon Plus geschikt voor mijn e-bike?
Ja, deze band is e-bike-ready tot 25 km/u. Rijd je een snellere e-bike of speed-pedelec (tot 50 km/u), kies dan de Schwalbe Marathon E-Plus, die daar specifiek voor is goedgekeurd.
Welke bandenspanning moet ik gebruiken bij de Schwalbe Marathon Plus?
Dat hangt af van je gekozen bandbreedte: bij 28 mm ligt de range tussen 5,5 en 7,5 bar, bij 47 mm tussen 3 en 5 bar. Check de tabel op deze pagina voor de exacte min./max. druk van jouw maat.
Is deze band ook tubeless te rijden?
Nee, de Schwalbe Marathon Plus is een draadband die je met een binnenband monteert. Er is geen tubeless-uitvoering van dit specifieke model.
Wat is het verschil tussen de Marathon Plus en de Marathon E-Plus?
Beide hebben dezelfde SmartGuard-lekbescherming, maar de Marathon Plus is e-bike-ready tot 25 km/u, terwijl de Marathon E-Plus is goedgekeurd tot 50 km/u en dus geschikt is voor speed-pedelecs. Rijd je een gewone e-bike of fiets, kies dan de Marathon Plus; rijd je een snelle e-bike, dan is de E-Plus verplicht.

If you want to put an end to flat tyres, look no further!

Best tyres for city dwellers: there’s so much glass lying about here – you couldn’t drive over it without getting a puncture before. I fitted these tyres and haven’t had any more trouble since.
