Schwalbe Marathon Bike Tire, Black, Clincher

Good quality. Nicely packed therefore easily fitted

Schwalbe top class products, I recommend.....

Great tyres: I ordered the 700 x 35C, which fitted perfectly as a replacement for the slightly larger 700 x 40C tyres that were on my commuting hybrid bike previously. The tyres were from Amazon and arrived well packaged in individual full size boxes (so no issues of deformation due to the tyres being folded/squashed that some reviews mention - full marks to Amazon). Unlike some reviewers I didn't experience any problems fitting the tyres, and simply used Park Tools plastic tyre levers which did the job without any drama. Too early yet to comment on durability or puncture resistance, but given the usual Schwalbe quality I'm not expecting any issues. The tread pattern gives a low rolling resistance on the road due to a central raised bead, whilst on gravel the tread pattern on the rest of the tyre bites giving sufficient grip for light off roading (light gravel cycle tracks and the like). I didn't notice any appreciable increase in rolling resistance due to the puncture protection. The tyres have a reflective strip on the side-wall, which will aid visability at night. I would thoroughly recommend these tyres for commuting/touring and light off roading.

Got these for winter riding on poor roads, noticeably less drag than the 2.1 / 2.5 set of man tyres l had fitted and stand up well to the relentless grit and potholes. I’m sure you could get lighter but these are sturdy and can be ridden with confidence. Plough the road!!

I've been using these tyres for some time, until they wore off. They are very difficult to puncture, and the riding is very comfortable.Just a couple tips for the installation if you've never used this type of reinforced tyres:First, you'll need steel levers for installing them. The plastic ones are simply not able to take them in or out of the rimAlso, when you install it, be careful on the valve area, because as the internal rings are very tight, is easy to pinch the tube bit around the valve with this tyre, which will drive you mad if you are not able to figure the issue. So simply, when you are bringing the tyre into the rim, push the valve to make sure that is completely inside the tyreI don't give it 5 stars because of the packaging, very poorly done. I ordered one 700x35 and a 700x32, they came from different suppliers. One from bikes4life and other from amazon. You'd expect they to come in a square thin box, but one came in a long box, bent like an 8, and the other one came in a plastic bag, bent in 3 loops. So both were very deformed and much more difficult to install than if they had come perfectly round. This, of course disapears when you fill the tube, but is more difficult to install it.In terms of width, I recomend a little wider than what you see on the streets for urban use. You can go with 25 mm wide and you'll have better performance, but you'll feel each single imperfection of the ground. Also, I recommend a little wider on the rear than on the front, as it receives most of the person's weight. For urban use I recomend 35 mm on rear and 32 mm on front, or if you weight 60 kg or less, maybe 32mm on the back and 28 mmon the front, but never less than that

Not as light or flexible as a more racing oriented tyre but suits my purposes. I have now retired from work so no longer commute but I now cycle 3,000 miles a year on these tyres and its years since I had a puncture.

These tyres have transformed my folding bike. Following 8 years of slithering along slippery canal towpaths on the bike's original 1" smooth road tyres, along with poor advice that chunkier tyres wouldn't fit, I bought just one to try - and what a difference. With this 1.75" tyre on the front wheel and the original 1" on the rear, I immediately noticed how much grippier it was so ordered a second.Both were easy to fit taking just a few minutes per wheel for a complete amateur. Now the bike offers a smoother, grippier ride on all surfaces including wet grass, grit, gravel and light mud. The bike feels more stable, less wobbly and justI've even taken it over finely broken grass and a few small thorns without suffering any punctures - the 5/7 puncture resistance rating seems genuine.For anyone with a folding bike, I highly recommend these tyres. They'll add a little to the bike's weight for carrying but this is more than offset by the improved ride quality and confidence in knowing the tyres will handle a range of surfaces and offer good puncture resistance too. My only regret is that I waited all these years and didn't change them within weeks of buying the bike.

Got these to put on my mountain bike I'm cycling more on asphalt or some easy trails, and they are superb.A few reviews say they're tough to get on, but nothing a good set of tyre levers won't sort out.They are smooth to ride on and will make a noticeable difference to your rolling speed if changing from mountain bike tyres.I have suffered one puncture in about 6-700 miles. But that's it.They do ping you around a bit if on large gravel and don't have the greatest traction on loose substrate, but then that's not what you are likely to use these for.Reflective strip on the sidewall is a nice feature and does the job perfectly well.Bottom line is if you riding a mountain bike and need a set of tyres to swap to when not off road, these will do the job superbly. If you ride a reasonable amount you'll soon find these to be a great price when you don't have to worry about getting punctures and getting you from a to b quicker than your knobblies.

Very good product. However, it is very easy to make a mistake when choosing the right size because there are 2 different sizes listed as the same size. This also applies to bicycle inner tube sizes. So make sure about the size.

Great band for bike
