What customers say about "Key Specs"
Schwalbe Marathon Green Guard Reflex Wired Touring Tire
- I was really pleasantly surprised by the speed I can carry.
- Glassprooof touring tire. They work well on gravel roads.
- These are certainly the most comfortable tires I have ever used. They smooth out any road imperfections for a smooth ride.
- Great tyre, transformed the ride comfort and ideally for commuting/touring bikes
- Good traction in the wet and on less than ideal road surfaces.
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.

What customers say about "Features"
Schwalbe Marathon Green Guard Reflex Wired Touring Tire
- I purchase these Tyres for my ebike and since then I never had any flat incident, arrived quick were not folded and fitted on my ebike perfectly.
- Rolling resistance feels good for what it is, and good for puncture protection.
- Best tyres for city and touring use. Puncture proof and low rolling resistance.
- Tyres are exactly what i was looking for. They were also not folded for ease of transport so they could be fitted straight away.
- You cant beat these. No punctures so i just replace them when they get cut up but thats after 3 years of daily commuting.
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.
