Punctures become obsolete with the MARATHON PLUS! The SmartGuard layer made from a flexible, special rubber offers particular resistance to shards of glass and flints. Even a thumbtack cannot penetrate this protective layer. The SmartGuard belt does not increase rolling resistance. The MARATHON PLUS rolls as easily as a tire without protection.

From EBTire: The Schwalbe
Marathon Plus is truly the type of tire you need if you
just can't have any flats. We see a lot of tires but
this is the thickest one we sell. It has the same casing
as the Marathon Regular giving it the same traction and
the same feel. The casing of the Marathon Plus has a
real thick strip of material built into it so it can
stop small objects. It also has a high weight rating so
it is the kind of tire the heavier rider should look at
or those who use powered bikes. Visibly thicker and
studier feeling than other tires, these tires are worth
their weight in gold for reliability and safety. Highly
recommended.
Schwalbe is the only manufacturer of bicycle tires that
is not a division of a larger company. For decades they
have been producing top notch high quality tires for the
European market. Long lasting, good traction, attractive
looks have made them winners overseas and now they have
been taking over America. The Schwalbe Marathon and
Marathon Plus are becoming some of the most popular tires ever. Get a pair
and you'll find out why. Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires set the
standard for what a tire ought to be.
