Product details
Brand: Schwalbe
Our Schwalbe Marathon Tire with a reflective strip is our fastest and lightest Marathon yet and is recommended to use with Brompton Electric. Nothing quite rides like a Brompton with a Schwalbe Marathon Tire, and this one has brilliant handling characteristics. This tire has thick tread depth and uses harder SpeedGrip compound rubber for better grip and longevity. A Brompton Electric partnered with our Schwalbe Marathon Tire puts a little extra zing to your commute, will keep you going for longer, and get you there faster. Its LiteSkin sidewall keeps the tire lightweight and nimble, while the Raceguard nylon under the tread gives the tire excellent puncture protection so you can tackle bustling city streets and unpredictable terrain. The reflective strip feature improves rider visibility at night so that you can travel Brompton style anytime, anywhere. The Brompton will get you to where you want to go, and with our Schwalbe Marathon Tire with reflective strip, you can enjoy the ride that little bit more.

I moved to these from the Continental Urbans that came with the bike - as they kept puncturing. These have been a lot more solid on London roads. Not quite as comfortable a ride, but I feel more assured with these on my bike. They’re a bit of a pain to get on the rims is my main issue but I still manage.
great item and value.

It was in such poor condition that when I took it to the bike mechanic to fit it they said it'd be no good and cause bulges in the tyre. Poor quality, stored incorrectly and damaged the wheels. Buy from somewhere else!

Had to buy this to replace an almost new Marathon tyre that the bead started creaking on the one side and then the wire bead came out of inside tyre carcass and punctured inner tube So not happy with Schwalbe and trying to understand what has happened for tyre to fail I hope the new tyre lasts longer than the last one and doesn’t leave me stranded

Expensive and the wrong size - slightly for the rim. Painful to fit by hand unless you use tyre levers - didn’t used to be
