Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tour tyre review

Tough touring rubber

When it comes to the Holy Grail of the puncture-proof tyre, Schwalbe’s Marathon Plus has earned itself an enviable reputation. The Tour version follows the same tried and tested formula, hiding within its carcass a SmartGuard protection belt to deflect shards of road debris.

Its aggressive tread marks it out for mixed terrain when you’re riding heavily laden – the kind of thing you might be find on an extended tour in the developing world, making it tougher still for adventure touring than the benchmark Marathon XR.

This is all based on the assumption that you’re happy to put up with the extra weight, of course; we really noticed the 1,100g on the 2.0 version on test, even if once up to speed it rolled along surprisingly well.

BikeLife: Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tour, Long Term Review

December 30, 2020 7 Comments

If you know this tire then you will know that calling this film a “long-term review” is a bit of a stretch because at only 3000 miles I am not even at the midpoint of this tire. However, winter weather has forced me to make a seasonal change in my tire size and style so I thought it a good time to share some thoughts on the current tire situation.

Out are the Schwalbes, for now, and in are the Continental Race King 2.2’s, complete with Slime Tubes. (Yes, they are heavy.) Any tire with “Black Chili” in the name is a slam dunk for a New Mexico based rider. SOLD. If you are interested in a bulletproof gravel/tour tire then look no further than the Marathon Plus Tour. This tire handles all surfaces, high PSI and with zero punctures at the 3000-mile point, I am a believer.

The Donna Summer part was awesome!

Scott, Still going on here….

Your bike enthusiasm always makes me smile, and also a bit nostalgic. Was roadie back in the day, duathlons, one tri, and once did the Assault on Mt. Mitchell, a one day 102.7 mile ride from Spartanburg, SC to the top of Mt. Mitchell in NC, the last 25+ miles mostly uphill, rained the whole day. I was the one that felt assaulted after 10 hours on the bike, but still a fine memory. Ride on!

What music do you play in retaliation?

“What music do you play in retaliation?” Hahaha. My analogy might not fit, but this made me think of that Kathleen Turner Michael Douglas movie – was it War of the Roses?

In my world Donna Summer is synonymous with disco, a very dark period for music, so yes, War of the Roses time indeed.

Scott, Good memory. A marriage is always a game of navigating the green zone.

Chuck, Damian Marley. He seems the darkest of the Marley family and I love his sound. Man, epic. Love hearing riding tales. Working on BikeLife film now…

Schwalbe Marathon Plus tire review - robust and reliable

...because life's too short to be fixing unnecessary punctures

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

If you value reliability over other elements of performance, then the Marathon is one to consider. It is best suited to commuter and utility bikes, although other, less performance oriented, riding can also benefit from its features. It has good rolling resistance for its type and is a comfortable ride. Its downside is shown with hard cornering where it can lose its composure a little.

Highly puncture resistant

Long lasting

Quality made

Proportion of recycled material used in its construction

Reflective sidewall

Not as secure with hard cornering as some

• Construction
• Value and conclusion

The Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires build on their long held reputation for reliability and puncture resistance. They are also able to be used on e-bikes, as well as conventional bikes.

Marathon Plus tires claim to be flat-less, thanks to their unique patented puncture protection belt. They offer a long life, dynamic rolling behaviour and an anti-aging technology - which prevents ugly cracks in the tire sidewalls - and rank amongst the very best road bike tires for reliability and puncture resistance

That puncture protection belt is super strong and manufactured from a highly elastic special rubber. Even sharp thumb tacks/drawing pins cannot puncture it - and it is rated at 7/7 on Schwalbe's puncture protection scale.

It is purposed primarily for tarmac roads and paths and secondarily for light gravel surfaces, such as canal tow paths.

There are a wide variety of sizes from 35-349 (16") to 47-622 (700c/28") available, with 18 options in total.

Schwalbe Marathon Plus: construction

The Marathon Plus 28c tire uses a wire bead with the ADDIX rubber compound being used in the tread. Underneath the tread, the SmartGuard anti puncture strip uses a proportion of recycled C50 rubber from old latex products. 

The 28c tires weigh 750g each (which I confirmed with my scales). They also require an inner tube, rather than being tubeless compatible - but considering the puncture-proof credentials, sealant really would be overkill. The tires feature a reflective sidewall, which is good safety feature, particularly for night or winter commutes.

They are also e-bike ready with this model being E-25 (up to 25kph - UK assisted maximum), whilst others in the lineup are E-50 (up to 50 kph) compliant.

Pressure range is listed on the sidewall as 5.50 - 7.50 Bar (80 - 110psi) for the 28c model, but this is much higher than you'll really want to be using them. Previously Schwalbe has advised us to use as low a pressure as you can before the tyre feels like its folding over a bit in the corners and moderate square-edge hits touch the rim.

Schwalbe Marathon Plus: the ride

My first job, after weighing the tires, was to fit them. I decided to try them with the Pinnacle Laterite 2 bike that I had on test. The Pinnacle's wheels had a 17mm internal rim width, which was a reasonable match for the Marathon tires. I did find that the wire beaded tires were a bit of a fight to fit. They weren't a tight fit, like some can be, but more awkward. 

What I found was that the stiff sidewall/bead would pop off the rim on the opposite side to where you were fitting the tire. You almost needed three hands to fit them, with two hands to hold the bead in place and the third to lever the tire into place. Since that isn't the case, it meant that the struggle went on for a while...

I lined the centre of the sidewall writing up with the valve, for the sake of good form, and initially pumped them up to 90psi. Even at this pressure, you can feel a softness under the central ridge of the tire if you squeeze it. This is the 5mm thick puncture guard (the blue section in photo below), which is able to resist punctures from thumb tacks, says Schwalbe.

Although they are nominally a 28c tire, when fitted to the rims mentioned above I found that they came up a little wide. I measured the tires at 30mm - worth bearing in mind if you have tight tolerances, say with fenders, you may wish to size down to keep a safe gap between the tire and bike.

Once out cycling, I was pleased how comfortable they were to ride with. I was surprised how well they hid their 750g weight too. The Laterite test bike came shod with Schwalbe Lugano II wired bead 25c tires, which are less than half the weight of the Marathons at 365g - and yet the Marathons felt more comfortable. 

Both setups felt that they kept similar pace, although I didn't take any timing measurements. Schwalbe claims that the rolling resistance remains excellent, certainly when compared to other tires with puncture belts of similar thickness. This would seem to be a reasonable claim, as they did roll well.

The one area that let the Marathons down a little was with harder cornering. There is a corner I ride which tightens up on you mid bend. The road surface is nicely tarmacked and quite smooth. When I first rode it with the Marathons it was 6°C / 43°F and a cool, cloudy day with damp road surfaces. As I leant in initially, I didn't feel as secure on the Marathons as I normally do on other tires, so I straightened up a bit a took the corner wider, wondering if this was because the tires were new and not bedded in yet. 

So, a few rides later I tried the same bend again. Conditions were broadly similar (9°C / 48°F this time) and I found the same thing. I had to straighten the bike up mid-corner as I didn't feel 100% secure. Note that with the Lugano tires there was no issue when ridden two days later. 

But other than this tight and technical corner, I didn't have any issues with the Marathons' handling. I wonder whether is is the softer anti puncture strip that is causing this slight squirming sensation. I do appreciate that this is a tire purposed for reliability over performance, and that you're probably not riding super hard on a commute or a trip to the shops!

One of the key reasons to use these tires is because you don't want the inconvenience of punctures. So, as if on cue, a local farmer was hedge cutting on the lane that I was riding. I'd normally tiptoe through the shards, but sensing a testing opportunity I rode full tilt through the detritus. Nothing! I even deliberately rode back down the same lane on the return leg to catch more hedge cuttings. Needless to say that the tires remained fully inflated. 

After six weeks of riding, and removing them from the test bike, I inspected them closely for any wear, rips, cuts or thorns and could see nothing untoward. My friend has been using a pair of these (32c) for a number of years without issue. In fact he needs to replace the rear tire soon as he's worn it out!

This frame can take up to a 32c tire. Plenty of clearance in this case.

Schwalbe Marathon Plus: value and conclusion

At $50.00 / £44.99 RRP these tires are fairly expensive, yet represent good value for money as they come from a quality manufacturer, last well and are highly puncture resistant. The improvement in rolling resistance is a good thing and the fact that they use an amount of recycled C50 rubber in the SmartGuard is an environmental and recycling plus, too. The reflective sidewalls are a good safety feature when riding at night.

Although they are a quite heavy at 750g, this is similar to others in this segment. They rolled surprisingly well, which probably helped to hide their weight, as well as being a comfortable tire to ride with. Although they weren't great with hard cornering it should be kept in mind that this is not their purpose. Moderate cornering was good. 

Overall I enjoyed ticking off the miles with these tires as they rolled well and didn't leave me fixing a flat at the side of the road in the rain!

SCHWALBE Marathon Plus Tour

Przymierzam się do kupna SCHWALBE Marathon Plus Tour 28 / 1.40. Czy ta opona jest rzeczywiście nie do przebicia? Jeżdżę rowerem codziennie w każdych warunkach pogodowych, ważne dla mnie aby była dobra na deszcz i śnieg a także żeby można było na niej zrobić jakiś fajny przebieg. Choć najbardziej zależy mi na tym aby się nie przebijała. Czasami wyjeżdżam poza miasto ale to nic specjalnego, leśne drogi zazwyczaj, nic szalonego. W mieście jest pełno szkła i moje obecne opony często się przebijają. Już tracę cierpliwość dlatego chce od razu najwyższą (?) półkę. Co o nich sądzicie? Macie jakieś doświadczenie?

Odnośnik do komentarza

Seria Marathon od Schwalbe to wytrzymałe opony. Ja mam akurat Marathon Mondial 1,6" na komplecie zrobione ~4000 km z ciężkimi sakwami + ~2000 km po mieście. Patrząc na bieżnik może drugie tyle uda się przejechać. Co do Marathon Plus Tour wygląda bardziej pancernie, ma sporej grubości bieżnik i wkładkę Smart Guard, która ma dodatkowe z 5 mm. Także przebić ja od frontu nie będzie łatwo. Ja na swoich Mundialach chyba tylko raz przebiłem dętkę i winowajcą był gwóźdź, który dostał się do opony od boku. Niech ktoś jeszcze się wypowie, gdyż nie miałem tego modelu, aczkolwiek jak zajadę obecny zestaw sam może pokuszę się o Plus Tour'y.

Każda opona jest do przebicia. Ja swoją Schwalbe Marathon Plus (od SMP Tour różni się chyba tylko bieżnikiem) przebiłem w pierwszym tygodniu używania - wbił się w nią wąski gwóźdź, po jego wyjęciu uszło powietrze. Natomiast przez najbliższe 15 tys. km (czy coś koło tego) całorocznej jazdy po różnych nawierzchniach faktycznie nic, nawet nie wiedziałem, że to w ogóle jest możliwe, aż zacząłem się zastanawiać nad sensownością wożenia ze sobą dętki i pompki. Plusa miałem z tyłu, z przodu był Schwalbe Marathon (green guard) i z nim przypadkiem było to samo - przebicie w pierwszym tygodniu, też czymś konkretnym, a potem nic. Różnica między tymi oponami jest głównie taka, że Plus ma 5mm wkładki, a zwykły Marathon 3mm, za to zwykły jest lżejszy i ma niższe opory toczenia. Gdybym kupował jeszcze raz to wybrałbym zwykły Marathon, bo i tak bardzo dobrze daje radę, Natomiast jeśli zamierzasz jeździć po drogach przykrytych cierniami, czy innymi ostrymi i długimi rzeczami, to dodatkowe 2mm w Plusie może się przydać. Szczegółowe recenzje obu są na https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/ Ze swojej strony mogę dodać, że poza sztandardową antyprzebiciowością, obie ścierają się znacznie wolniej niż tańsze modele Schwalbe (Land Crusier, Road Crusier) na których też jeździłem/jeżdżę, moim zdaniem są zdecydowanie warte swojej ceny.

W sumie też rozważałem wersję Plus Tour. Ostatecznie Wziąłem dwie opony z nowej serii 2017 Gt365/GT .Mają wprawdzie przejechane dopiero 300km. W warunkach miejskich spisują się bardzo dobrze. Leśne suche leśne ścieżki nie są problemem. Prawdopodobnie zostawię je również na lato.. Mi udało się zakupić sztukę za około 100zł z przesyłką.

Obecnie jeżdżę na dość niskiej półce. Mam schwalbe silento. Opony fajne ale ciągle mi się przebijają, dętki już tak poklejone że dziękuję. Dlatego nie chce się bawić w półśrodki tylko od razu kupić najwyższą półkę antyprzebiciową. Wydaje mi się, że tour ma bardziej uniwersalny bieżnik dlatego ją rozważam. A chcę kupić coś co będzie jak najbardziej odporne na wszelkie warunki a także wytrzymałe.

Sbike 105zł, jest napisane wysyłka 2-3 dni. Ale możesz zadzwonić.

Hmm ja jeździłem na starszych zwykłych maratonach i było nieźle, potem eksperymentowałem z różnymi, między innymi Furious Fred, ale po kilku kapciach w końcu chciałem coś bardziej pancernego i kupiłem Marathon Plus. Jak dla mnie to był strzał w stopę... Cięższe od zwykłych, na suchym super, ale w błocie się ślizgają a na mokrym asfalcie boję się jeździć, już ze 3 gleby zaliczyłem jak mi się uślizgnęła na zakręcie.....

Aktualnie zastanawiam się nad zmianą, albo na Tour, albo na sprawdzone przez znajomych i polecane zwijane Mondiale, mimo że na Plusach zrobiłem ze 2-3 tys km w sumie i wyglądają jak nowe.

Tyle że toury z tego co widzę jeszcze cięższe od marathon plus, więc raczej pomyślę o mondial.

Jak to jest z ta rozmiarowka schwalbe? 

Wg sklepów oznaczenie opony Marathon z zieloną wkładką to 1,4", na stronie producenta jest natomiast info: 37-622 (28 x 1.40, 700x35C)

Więc jak to w końcu jest opona o szer. 35 czy 37?

Patrzyłeś na złą tabelkę. Są lżejsze. A jest jeszcze GT Tour i jest już zauważalnie lżejsza. Różnica w jeździe niewielka, za to te zakręty, jakoś łatwiej wchodzą... Z drugiej strony, jak wjedziesz za ostro, to każda "chybnie" na bok. Na "Marathon Plus" jeździłem w wersji (28 x 1.10,), ale nie mam dobrych wspomnień (poza brakiem kapci).

35C. Tak jest na oponie i na stronie producenta.

Jak się nie ścigasz na super idealnej nawierzchni, to poruszanie kwestii oporów toczenia, "nie ma znaczenia". Są inne kwestie generujące większe straty . Przykład...wjedź w dziurę ..wyboje czy popękaną drogę, prędkość i opór generowany przez kolarza, wiatr. Ostatnio spece Continentala zauważyli ten mankament (kwestia powierzeni styku opony z powierzchnią), podchodząc inaczej do nowych mieszanek/bieżnika.
