Good fast tyres

- Remco, 18 January, 2024

The Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres positively surprised me where the Swalbe One tyres were flat after just 1 ride these tyres were put under my gravel bike. With 4 bar enough grip in the forest and a light run on the road. Mounting is only VERY difficult, the tyres are really too stiff for that.

Pros & Cons

No punctures yet
Smooth running
Sufficient grip
Very difficult to fit

Fine, BUT...

- Mark, 13 October, 2023

This one is for electric bikes, not for bikes that sometimes ride on sand. Because, in the the groove of the tyre creep sharp pebbles that eventually push their way through the tyre (at least from an ordinary outer tyre) and so you will puncture much faster. If you sometimes take on sand, don't take this marathon, but another type (I don't know the exact designation).

Pros & Cons

Solid

Great tyre, for this price

- Richard, 12 October, 2023

Fine tyre that is easy to fit. Lies nicely around the rim, giving good roadholding. Lots of grip. Could be slightly wider for more comfort. Now we just have to wait and see what the lifespan does.

Pros & Cons

easy to mount
good grip
good roadholding
comfort

Just an excellent band.

- John, 1 February, 2023

An excellent tire, just rode about 50 km, nice grip even on wet pavement. The tire is a bit stiff. Fitting the tire to the rim is also a bit tricky due to the strongly outward standing tire flanks.

Good grip

Fine tire with a downside in the length ridges.

- Mart, 22 July, 2022

When you drive over tiles the tire goes searching for longitudinal ridges which feels like you suddenly have a flat tire and starts swabbing very irritating.

Pros & Cons

quiet
strong link
suffers a lot of searching when driving over tiles
tire gives resistance

Perfect tire commuting

- Erna, 10 December, 2021

Was looking for a trouble-free tire for commuting. Is not the lightest tire but is super anti-puncture. Had to work hard to mount it. And last but not least, excellent value for money.

Good but heavy.

- peter, 30 October, 2021

Bought for my old city bike, noticeably heavier but once up to speed not too bad. Next tires will be the Marathon Racer but that will take a while.

Super sturdy band and comfortable

- Kristof, 17 August, 2021

After almost 100km I can pass judgment on this outer tire. Very sturdy but also slightly heavier than normal outer tire. Good rolling properties on normal and slippery roads. On the latter also very good grip. The tread is quite supple which greatly benefits the puncture resistance but has the disadvantage that the tire finds its way a bit in the longitudinal grooves on worse roads and cobblestone joints. This gives a strange feeling, as if you are in danger of sliding away when you are not. Therefore 4 instead of 5 stars. Highly recommended. A bit more difficult to fit around your rim though.

Pros & Cons

Good grip on slippery road
No more fear of broken glass on the bike path
Price/quality
Unpaved road is no problem
Very strong tire
Sensitive to longitudinal grooves
Slightly more difficult to fit on the rim

Great for touring and constant daily use

- Ryan, 2 July, 2021

First, this review is based mostly on bicycle tour and everyday riding. That is what I use my bicycle for. I do not have a car and I don't really like to use public transportation. I only get around by bike. This is the third time I've these tires. I love them. They are built very well, almost puncture proof and the tread is made so water will go off to the side. My last pair were 28 x 1.5, but these are 28 x 1.4. Personally, I like the 1.5 better. It's nice to have a wider tire - more comfortable, more control, and less of a chance of a puncture. But I will add that I am not upset with the purchase. Due to how sturdy these are, and the tread pattern, and the puncture protection, I do recommend them

Pros & Cons

Comfortable ride
Great tread pattern to keep out rain
Hardly ever a flat
Sturdy build
Not very wide

4 / 5
