Schwalbe Marathon Mondial Performance Wired Tire - 26x2.00 inch - 2017 - Black-Reflex

It is the successor of the legendary Marathon XR touring tire. And Schwalbe's latest version, the Marathon Mondial, carries on the Marathon's 26 year long tradition of developing tires for extreme cycle touring, using the very latest technology - Endurance Compound and patented puncture protection.

The profile already hints towards endless asphalt and off-road tracks. The closely spaced center tread rolls easily along on streets, while, just like a mountain bike tire, the side knobs provide traction and grip on dirt roads. The tread has a dynamic and modern look too it. The Marathon Mondial owes its durability to the rubber mixture. The affordable Performance version is made of the new Endurance Marathon compound.

Unpredictable gravel roads and potholes, acacia thorns: these are the treacherous tire killers. RaceGuard Protection (Schwalbe Puncture Protection Level 4) is just as important as the durability of the rubber mixture. A synthesis of special India rubber and several layers of nylon fabric offers very effective protection against infiltration punctures. There is only a minimal increase in weight and rolling resistance of these tires.
