Schwalbe Marathon Plus SmartGuard E-25 Endurance Performance Wired 700c Road Tyre

This is my second Schwalbe SmartGuard good puncture protection and wear.

Excellent service and products. Would definitely but from here again.

I've purchased a few items using my Cycle to Work LOC and I managed to save a lot, since almost everything is available on the scheme. They also splitted it into 2 deliveries as a few items where delaying the whole process. Very happy!

It was time to update the tyres that came stock on my Marin Gestalt 2 2019 gravel bike, I ride more road than gravel anyway, and so sacrificed a couple of mm for the assurances these tyres bring... I've tested them on various surfaces and used them in wet and dry weather, also at both the minimum and maximum PSI (80 & 110). Absolutely no issues.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Schwalbe G-ONE Performance tyres I had on previously had more agility and sideways flex to them, they were lighter and this was the first noticeable change... However, the G-Ones had worn quite heavily after 2000 miles (3 months) and punctures were becoming a weekly occurrence. At 110 PSI, the Marathons gave me a noticeably faster ride than I have had in a long time - 17mph average over 13 miles with 800ft elevated gain - a lot of PBs according to my Strava - all this with a noticeable headwind too, and on a Friday (i.e. the 9th commute of the week). So despite the extra weight, I think the design can absolutely sprint and accelerate and the power transfer is awesome at 110 PSI if you can take the rigidity that comes with this (no bad thing)------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In terms of compatibility, my inner wheel rim width is 19mm, so 28mm is the most sensibly slim tyre I can go down to - Absolutely no issues fitting the tyre (levering in the last few inch)... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A final point, My Marin Gestalt 2 is all black and the reflective trim on the Marathon looks so unbelievably slick with this minimal aesthetic! --------------------------------------------------------------- So all in all, I am extremely pleased with my purchase, will recommend to anyone who favours robustness and reliability. I may get myself something lighter as well for fair-weather days in the saddle, but for now, this is the tyre for me.

Hard to give a review so early after receiving the tyre,however looks good and hopefully performs well.

i have these on all of my bikes and from tredz they were almost half the price of my local bike shop so many thanks

Did a 10 mile test before and after fitting and hardly any difference in speed or ride. Tricky to fit, but when worked out how on the front no problem on the back.

Using these tires over three years on two different hybrid bikes in Cambridge with zero flats! My occasional use MTB has Specialized Armadillo Hemisphere tires and usually suffers a flat within two weeks on the same route to work yet some how I have never had a flat with these. Highly recommended and will be on my commuting bike until they stop making them! I am a hefty rider that rides hard on my 5 mile commute so these definitely get some abuse but just keep going!

Training for my first tonne. Good grip on those wet and muddy roads. They feel so good I may even use them on the day.

I wanted a good tyre for winter rides and so far these have been great.
