What is it about this obsession of pumping up the tyres to the max. pressure (cos it says on the side wall)? It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you. Price of Schwalbe Marathon Plus Road TyrePeace of mind, great handling and modest rolling resistance aren't easily married in the same sentence but the Marathons are notably faster at 85psi than competitor models, affording a decent momentum in most contexts while turning a lofty seventy nine inch gear. Even inflated to ninety psi, they've delivered a serene, magic carpetesque passage over horribly surfaced lanes and the ability to shrug and speed through shards of broken glass is truly liberating, although there's plenty of scope for split second skirting of these, potholes and other potentially damaging imperfections. A issue with the Plus tyres is that if they do flat (unlikely, but happened to someone I know on the European tour they're currently on) they're a pig to fix roadside. These Schwalbe Tyres are for every-day use, with densely woven 50 EPI’s for extreme puncture resistance and longevity. The Marathon Plus Tour model adds a more robust and distinctive trekking tread than the Original, which is designed for long tours and everyday use alike, both on and off-road. Together, they advertise it offers the same rolling resistance, road grip, protection, and durability, but adds a slightly improved off-road grip. Larger patches of ‘reptilian’ tread for greater traction, DuraSkin fibers for unique sidewall appearance

Puncture Force Sharp Needle: Pre-2021, this score was known as 'Puncture Resistance'. On some tires with weakly bonded casing wires, the sharp needle can split the casing wires resulting in a lower score. Schwalbe keep changing their tyres whilst making the names only slightly different. They do have model numbers though; the current Marathon is HS420 and the current Marathon Plus is HS440. At Chain Reaction Cycles we found 135 products from Schwalbe, of which 119 were in the Tyres category. Schwalbe’s three-tire Marathon Plus lineup is among the company’s most popular, and has been around for more than a decade and a half. For the most part, it’s immensely popular among most who’ve tried it. After all, they report it delivers a solid mix between comfort, low rolling resistance, high puncture protection, and a variety of tread patterns from which to choose, depending on terrain. As with most products in the cycling industry, though, you’ll pay for the technology. There's an unusually broad range of sizes too, including 24, 20 18 and even 16 inch - catering for everything from tourers and junior/mountain bikes through to small wheeled folders, whose wheels can prove devilishly difficult to remove at the best of times, let alone puncturing en route to the station on a wintry morning.I felt that 2 punctures in 9500 miles was not too bad given the number of flints and thorns on the roads I ride on. The strong and reliable tread patterns give riders a safer and more secure ride on the road and in bad conditions, featuring a LiteSkin sidewall for durability. Unless you weigh 20 stones such high pressure in 35mm ish tyres offers no benefits and most certainly won't make you faster. E-BIKE READY. Due to its great properties Marathon Plus is an ideal choice for E-Bikes (E-25). The main sizes are approved and tested for E-bikes up to 50 km/h.
