Schwalbe Marathon Plus MTB Wire Bead Tyre

The MTB Schwalbe Marathon Plus HS468 wire bead tyre is available in sizes 26x2,1 (54-559), 26x2,25 (57-559), 27,5x2,1 (54-584), 27,5x2,25 (57-584), 27,5x2,35 (60-584) and 27,5x2,6 (65-584). It is a tubetype tyre and must therefore be fitted with an inner tube: check that the tube is compatible with this size before purchasing.

The Addix compound and Smart Guard or Smart DualGuard protection are designed for riders seeking puncture protection for off-road use. The stated weight is 1.15 kg, and the wire bead (Drahtreifen) requires rims with this type of edge. When choosing, check that the ETRTO size is compatible with your rim and consider the terrain you ride most often.

Schwalbe was established in Germany in 1973 by Ralf Bohle, with roots in the family business founded in Bergneustadt in 1922. Today it is based in Reichshof and makes bicycle tyres and inner tubes. Its name means “swallow” in German and translates Swallow, the name of the first tyres imported from Korea.
