Why Is the Marathon Plus the Most Trusted Puncture-Resistant Tire?

The Schwalbe Marathon Plus is the gold standard in puncture-resistant tires, built to handle the toughest urban commutes, long-distance touring, and everything in between. Schwalbe's legendary SmartGuard protection layer absorbs sharp objects like glass, thorns, and small metal shards, making this tire as close to flat-proof as a clincher gets. Riders routinely report tens of thousands of miles between flats, making the Marathon Plus the definitive choice for anyone who simply cannot afford to be stranded with a flat tire.

The wire bead clincher construction with reflective sidewall stripe adds visibility for low-light commuting, while the durable rubber compound delivers consistent grip across wet pavement, dry roads, and gravel paths. Available in 700 x 38 and 700 x 45, the Marathon Plus fits a wide range of touring, commuter, and hybrid bikes. This is the tire you mount once and forget about, season after season.
