Reviews over the

Schwalbe Marathon Plus

Every week, I cycle 120km commuting on a sporty hybrid. The Vredestijn tyres, type I don't remember, were starting to run out. After 2x punctures, I decided to try the Marathon Plus, mainly because of the positive reviews about its anti-puncture properties. I have now had about 500 trouble-free kilometres. It's a nice tyre and it's highly visible in the dark because of the reflection. However, I do feel that it cycles a bit heavier than its predecessor and I still have to get used to the feeling when cornering. Maybe the thick rubber makes for a bit less feeling with the road surface? I am convinced, though, that this benefits anti-leakage and longevity. At the moment, I still think that the next set will be more sporty again, but first let's see how long these Marathon Plus tyres last.

Pros & Cons

excellent tire and cycles very nicely
