SchwalbeMarathon 700c Tire (HS 420)(Return to Product Page)

I commute with this tire. It is not the lightest or fastest tire, but I bought it because it is so durable and reliable. I do not cringe if my path has glass sparkles or visible trash on it, I roll on thru with confidence. This tire is tough and I am on time!

I like these tires because you don't get flats hardly ever.

This tire is very durable. I never get any flats . And they wear forever

Great tire for the daily street rider.....Like the treat and minimal roadtire interface

I ride 12-18 miles day for fitness on lousy Missouri chip-n-seal roads on my Giant Seek2. Came with Columbiere 32mm 700c tires. After about 750 miles, I started getting flats on the rear once or twice a week (Never on the front-even now). Read reviews of the Schwalbe Marathon with Green Guard and ordered one (quick shipping and good service from BTD). Absolutely love it. NO FLATS! Good tread pattern especially fo occasional dirt/gravel roads. 95psi means relatively low rolling resistance. Plan to get another for the front when the Columbiere wears out. NO REGRETS!!!

Incredibly fast rolling and superior grip tire! Had experience with these tires while living in Germany....Excellent wear properties and flat protection A. Make sure the tire bead is seated properly on your clincher rims before inflating it to 90 PSI.

I use this tire for my work commute year-round. I've been riding Schwalbe Marathons for about 4 yrs. and recommend them to anyone who wants to ride a ton of miles with a loaded down bike and not worry about flats. The reflective strip around the tire is super bright when new but gets dulled out with road grit and wear but it still helps visibility. The new green guard belt makes a great tire even better.

I have used Schwalbe Marathon tires to commute to work for almost 5 years. During these past nearly 10,000 miles of riding I have gone over glass, rocks, pieces of metal, sticks, and other assorted road debris. I have had 1 only flat from a screw nail. The tire grips the road well in rain, holds 100 psi, has a reflective sidewall, lasts for 1000's of miles, etc. What more could you ask from a tire?

Schwalbe tires some of the most durable tires I have ever used. These are on my commuter which I need to be reliably flat proof and after a few hundred miles fit the bill. Schwalbes are a bit pricey but on sale are an excellent bargain.

I commute twenty miles each day on a Toureasy recumbent bike. I have the Schwalbe Marathon 700c GreenGuard on the rear. I love the relective stripe because it gives me additional visiable and the 95 PSI Max gives me a faster and very comfortable ride. Schwalbe also makes this tire in a 20', that I have on the front. It is great to finally have the same tires on the front and rear even if they are not the same size.

I purchased these tires after getting 3 puncture flats in one afternoon riding my Kenda Kwickrollers. I purchased these and havent had a flat since. Reflective strip adds a bit of style appeal with the other white accents on the bike also.

Commuting in Montana means using a variety of roads and trials paved or not to get to work. These tires have withstood lots of surfaces. They seem bomb proof.

I use this tire for replacement commuting tires on hybrids, or for a fatter tire on touring bikes.

As good as the original Marathon tires are, these are better! only slightly heavier, but with a LOT better puncture protection.

I've used Schwalbe Duranos and Marathons for long distance self-supported bike touring. I like their durability and overall performance. The reflective side walls on the Marathons are a great safety feature for night riding. I've also used Stelvios and Ultremos on century rides for their low rolling resistance light weight.

None of these tires are cheap but I learned the hard way that you get what you pay for.

I have these tires on the bike that I use for commuting to work. One third of the commute is on hard pack dirt trail through wooded forest preserve and these tires have performed well in terms of grip and durability. They also ride quite smoothly on the pavement - not like the 700c x 23 tires on my road bike, but still nice. Tread offers decent water shedding in the wet. I would buy these again.

I typically buy the Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires because they are bulletproof in my opinion, I don't have flats on the road with them, I get about 10k miles on the front, 5k miles on the back, and they just continue to roll on

Well made, sturdy, comfortable, and daily fast. Bought them for a 2500 mile tour but using them here in Key West where the road surface is terrible. They are holding up well to the punishment of the coral stone. Nice ride.

I bought 32 mm but the tire only measures 29 mm. I have only put about 100 miles on this set but I did put a lot of miles on a set of 25 mm on my road bike. With the 25 mm I think I had over 4000 miles on them and they still had tread on them and I never got flat. I have to give them 3 stars because of the overstating of the size.

I have not used these tires yet but have used the 25mm version before with good results. I am disappointed with this set because I purchased a set of 700x32 but once installed they only measured 29mm, closer to a 28 than a 32.
