What customers say about "Key Specs"
Schwalbe Marathon Plus HS Wire Tire
  • Installed like a dream. No problem fitting over the rims at all.
  • They ride like a dream and easily handled all the weight for a loaded tour plus me.
  • The Schwalbes are excellent commute tires with great grip and low rolling resistance. I have 500 miles on them now with almost no signs of wear and ZERO flats.
  • They're a smooth ride and offer greatly reduced roll resistance, especially from a stop. They're quick and easy to install.
  • Probably the most difficult tire to install- took me 3 hours to get one tire on and the back tire never went on the rim.
Schwalbe Marathon Mondial Double Defence Tire with Folding Bead
  • Been using these tires since 2012 on my monster cross bike and they are working great.
  • The grip and handling are great, and the extra size of the 42 noticeably softens the ride for a steel touring bike.
  • While obviously, this is not a race tire, I did't feel much drag, and I was able to do long distances with reasonable effort.
  • They are not the lightest tires, but that is the trade off for superior flat protection.
  • They are stable and predictable on the pavement, hardpack, and gravel. The tires feel connected on wet surfaces.

What customers say about "Features"
Schwalbe Marathon Plus HS Wire Tire
  • They go on easy, they have a very nice reflective sidewall, they're less expensive, and the ride is so smooth. It kind of feels like a have a little suspension on my commuter bike.
  • I trust these tires more than any other tire on my e-bike.
  • These tires are excellent in the rain. They are high pressure, so they have the low rolling resistance I prefer.
  • These tyres grip well and with enough air can help you go faster, and i love the reflective strip on the sidewall.
  • Installation was one of the worst I've experienced for a tire. The rubber is so unforgiving that getting the tire bead to stay seated is almost impossible without extra assistance.
Schwalbe Marathon Mondial Double Defence Tire with Folding Bead
  • The Mondails are reasonably fast and light, but still with some depth to the tire "knobs" for good grip on the lousy roads found in most cities.
  • Great for riding over broken pavement, potholes and trolley tracks. The tires feel sure-footed on wet pavement.
  • Have only had one flat in over 7000 miles riding on pavement, gravel and dirt.
  • These are absolutely the best touring tire available. ...and they are foldable.
  • The tires performed superbly. I had no punctures, and I had no difficulties riding long offroad sections and completely broken asphalt.
