About this product
The Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tyre is a durable clincher tire designed for a range of bicycles, including folding bikes, electric bikes, and road bikes. Featuring SmartGuard rubber construction, it is engineered for high puncture resistance, marketed as 'Flat-Less.' This black tire comes in a 16x1 3/8" (16x1.35) size, specifically compatible with Brompton bikes, and is sold individually. Its E-Bike Ready designation ensures suitability for electric bicycles.
Our take
I appreciate components that offer peace of mind, and the Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyre seems to fit that bill with its 'Flat-Less' and puncture-resistant features. For a daily commuter or touring cyclist, reducing the chance of flats is a big win. The 16-inch size is clearly aimed at folding bikes like Bromptons, and it's good to see it's E-Bike Ready. While the specs don't list an exact weight, the focus is clearly on durability over ultralight performance, which is a sensible trade-off for a utility tire. It's a reliable choice for consistent riding.
