Schwalbe Marathon Racer

The Schwalbe Marathon Racer is a fast and lightweight tire within the Marathon series, designed for commuters and touring cyclists who want a balance between speed, durability, and puncture protection. Here are its key features:

• Lightweight: As the name suggests, it is one of the lighter options in the Marathon range, making it suitable for faster rides.
• Puncture Protection: Equipped with RaceGuard, a double layer of nylon fabric that offers good protection against punctures while keeping the tire light.
• Tread Design: Has a smooth tread with a slight pattern, offering low rolling resistance on roads and enough grip for wet or light off-road surfaces.
• Compound: Uses Schwalbe’s SpeedGrip Compound, which is designed to offer both grip and speed, making it efficient for long-distance riding.
• Reflective Sidewall: Includes reflective strips on the sidewalls for improved visibility in low-light conditions.
• Sizes: Available in multiple sizes, commonly 700x30C, 700x35C, and 26x1.50, making it versatile for a range of bikes.
• Weight: Lighter than other Marathon tires, with the 700x35C version weighing around 420-440 grams.
• Pressure Range: Typically between 50-85 PSI (3.5-6.0 Bar), depending on size.
• Durability: Although lighter, it still maintains durability for touring and commuting with enhanced puncture protection.
