About this deal

Performance Line: Excellent quality for intensive use. They are the very best value for money tyres. I rode a set of 26” Marathon Originals across Missouri’s Katy Trail, a rail-to-trail project that spans more than 220 miles across the state, roughly from Kansas City to St. Louis.

To put those 5 watts in perspective, a touring cyclist might average very roughly 100 watts. So the Plus tyres absorb an extra twentieth or so of your total pedalling power versus the standard Marathons. I have recently fitted them to front and rear of a Electric Commuter / MTB - 350W (that sits at 27kg with always loaded Panniers and camera and lights etc) - I am 90KG and wanted something that was puncture resistant as I didn't want the hassle and time of attending to punctures! Riding for exercise at all times and also in my daily commutes so weight of tires & bike etc are not an issue (but battery life is .. lol) .. I've had 3 versions of the Original over the years, the middle one was best, with Kevlar and a good compromise between weight, rolling, ruggedness and puncture proof. I think it was the HS308 or something like that. It is still available, but all must be pretty old by now as they havn't been made for a few years. As expected, rolling resistance of the Marathon Plus is higher than the plain Marathon. Depending on air pressure, you're giving up 4 - 6 watts of power per tire (20%). This isn't all that much given the 2 mm of extra puncture protection the Plus provides. I think it comes down to personal preference whether you like the lower rolling resistance or the higher puncture protection.

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. 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.

When we compare the Marathon tires to similar tires from different brands, the Schwalbe tires seem to be in another league when you take both puncture and rolling resistance into consideration. At least at the time of this writing, the other brands just can't compete.

Samuel D wrote:Whether you would notice the 5-odd watt difference in power absorption (per pair of tyres at a typical all-up weight and touring speed) of the standard Marathon and Marathon Plus is an open question. It’s certainly not a big difference. But it is a small downside for no gain if the standard Marathon already provides sufficient puncture protection, and I think for most people it does. On the other hand, the relatively few gripes related to a greater number of flats and lower quality than expected, as well as high price.
