Marathon Plus – The unplattbar® tire
The best-selling model in the Schwalbe portfolio not only impresses with its outstanding puncture protection, which it owes to the patented SmartGuard insert. Despite this 5 mm thick protective belt, the Marathon Plus also boasts excellent rolling characteristics. This is complemented by technical solutions such as the "anti-aging" sidewalls, which can withstand the typical overloads caused by low air pressure for much longer before unsightly cracking occurs. In addition, Schwalbe is committed to ecological responsibility with its extremely puncture-resistant bestseller by using a proportion of recycled rubber from old latex products during production without compromising the quality of the tire in any way. With all these outstanding properties, the Marathon Plus is also an ideal choice for E-Bikes.

ADDIX | Extremely durable universal rubber compound with a wide range of requirements.
recovered Carbon Black (rCB) | Following the successful introduction of the Green Marathon, Schwalbe is increasingly using recycled carbon black (rCB) in its tire production. This is a direct product from Schwalbe Recycling System and replaces 100 % fossil-based carbon black. In this way, 80 % CO₂eq is saved. And thanks to intensive research and development work, there is no need to compromise on quality and performance.
Smart Guard | This insert made of highly elastic, 5 mm thick special caoutchouc is Schwalbe's most effective protective belt for bicycle and E-Bike tires. Only tires with SmartGuard and Smart DualGuard can rightly call themselves "unplattbar" (flat-less). And despite the outstanding puncture protection function, SmartGuard tires still know to impress with their low rolling resistance.
E-25 | Suitable for E-Bikes up to 25 km/h.
