It seemed all I was doing was fixing flats, throwing away tubes and I was starting to dread getting on my bike - another flat today? I read about these and researched a lot of reviews and finally decided to take the plunge. I am SO glad I did. 3 years later NOT ONE SINGLE FLAT, even in serious sticker country like New Mexico. The tires are definitely on the heavy side and I added almost 2 lbs to the weight of my bike but it is well worth it since now I don't even think about flats anymore. I can't bring myself to not carry an extra tube and a pump but I could easily have NOT carried those for all this time and never had a problem. I find the tires ride fine, no particular difference in feel vs standard road tires, and I have tried all the top brands. The durability is outstanding - I am easily getting twice the tread life out of these than any tire I have ever used. The 700 x 25 is pretty low profile once mounted and inflated so it keeps my road bike looking like a road bike. I found mounting was much easier if I used a cord to tie the tire securely to the rim at one point then work my way around - very stiff and the tire would inevitably pop off at the critical moment before I used the tying down method. After that it went on pretty easy. The massive payoff though is the complete cessation of flat tires. I will gladly put up with a little extra weight (with no noticeable sacrifice in performance) for the peace of mind of being able to ride anytime anywhere without the specter of flat-fixing looming over the trip. 5 stars all the way for me - I will NEVER put a regular tire back on my bike. Review: Awesome touring road tire - Let's say it up front. This is a heavy tire. However, it's heavy 'cause it's built like a tank. I've got over 900 miles on them and I can still see the front tire's mold line. Normally you'd think a tire that hard would be difficult to handle with poor cornering. Not so. Wet and dry the grip is good. I wouldn't go racing with it, but once you get it up to speed it rolls well. I run about 70 PSI and the tire soaks up minor road roughness very well. That's a good thing because my city doesn't maintain the streets as well as they once did. On smooth pavement the tire sings a sweet little tune that's just barely audible. They're not cheap, but they should last 2 to 3 times as long as a lightweight skinny tire. I seldom got more than 2000 miles from a 700x20, but then I weigh 90 kilos. For a commuter or long distance touring bike this is a great choice. PS: Don't believe the word out that the tires are hard to mount. However - there are tricks you MUST know. I mounted both tires in under 20 minutes _without_ tools. Brute force is NOT the answer. I use strapping tape to secure the parts of the tire that I've mounted and COMPRESS the casing so that the tire is pushed towards the unmounted side. After 4 or 5 taped areas about 8 inches apart I can then use my hands to push the casing over the rim. And of course you must be very cautious airing the tube to prevent blowouts. ## Features - THE FLAT-LESS TIRE - The most puncture-resistant pneumatic tire offers the best puncture protection for your bike and is ideal for long, worry-free rides. - ANTI-AGING SIDEWALL - The special sidewall of the Schwalbe Marathon Plus bicycle tire is resistant to typical overloads caused by low air pressure and does not show any cracks. - VARIOUS SIZES – The bicycle tire is available in sizes 16, 20, and 24 inches, as well as 26, 27, and 28 inches, making it suitable for different types of bicycles, including e-bikes, road bikes, and MTBs. - OUTSTANDING SAFETY - The Marathon Plus offers optimal protection against punctures, including thumbtacks, thanks to its robust 5 mm puncture protection layer. - BRAND EXPERTISE - Schwalbe stands for over 100 years of tradition and expertise in the field of bicycle tires, which guarantees quality and reliability in every product. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0025XOWP4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #54,074 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #208 in Bike Tires | | Bike Type | Road Bike | | Brand | SCHWALBE | | Brand Name | SCHWALBE | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,608 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04026495720588 | | Item Diameter | 700 Millimeters | | Item Weight | 0.75 Kilograms | | Item Width | 28 Millimeters | | Manufacturer | SCHWALBE | | Material Type | Compound | | Tire Type | Clincher | | Tread Type | Standard | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Type | Extended | ## Product Details - **Item Diameter:** 7E+2 Millimeters - **Brand:** SCHWALBE - **Tire Type:** Clincher - **Item Width:** 28 Millimeters - **Bike Type:** Road Bike - **Warranty Type:** Extended - **Material:** Compound - **Tread Type:** Standard - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 04026495720588 - **Size:** 700 x 28mm ## Images ![Schwalbe Marathon Plus Bicycle tire- 16, 20, 24, 26, 27.5 & 28 inches – Flat-Less tire for Bicycles – SmartGuard - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819PcyVKsXL.jpg) ![Schwalbe Marathon Plus Bicycle tire- 16, 20, 24, 26, 27.5 & 28 inches – Flat-Less tire for Bicycles – SmartGuard - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CvP0uc4jL.jpg) ![Schwalbe Marathon Plus Bicycle tire- 16, 20, 24, 26, 27.5 & 28 inches – Flat-Less tire for Bicycles – SmartGuard - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81dHeOxCzXL.jpg) ![Schwalbe Marathon Plus Bicycle tire- 16, 20, 24, 26, 27.5 & 28 inches – Flat-Less tire for Bicycles – SmartGuard - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GRtgSYNWL.jpg) ![Schwalbe Marathon Plus Bicycle tire- 16, 20, 24, 26, 27.5 & 28 inches – Flat-Less tire for Bicycles – SmartGuard - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AgsWurJSL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Item Shape, Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Colorado goatheads?** A: I thought our sandspurs here in FL were bad until experiencing the goathead thorns while in college in Colorado, the slime I had saved me that day but if the marathon tire can resist puncture by those thorns that's pretty impressive. BTW I have Marathons on my bike now, no problems and not too difficult to mount. **Q: I'm trying to decide between these and the Schwalbe Marathon HS420 tires. Anyone have experience with both and would the SMP be worth the extra $23?** A: I just used the Schwalbe HS (32mm) on a tour of Iceland. On-road, off-road, ice storm, rain, no problems took a lot of abuse, fast and comfortable. 1200 miles and not a single puncture. **Q: Which size would work on a 27x1 1/4 rim?** A: Only 27 1 1/4 will work on a 27 1 1/4 rim. 700c won't fit because it is too small. To fit 27 1 1/4 you might also try searching "Schwalbe ISO 630". **Q: Is this the HS 440 model or 348?** A: Does not have a model number on the sidewall and unfortunately I cannot recall if the packaging on the tire identified model but I believe I checked to see they were 440's. Continue to love how they ride and their durability. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No flats for 3 years *by D***N on April 25, 2013* I put a set of these on my bike after finally losing it with flat after flat after flat.
