Schwalbe Marathon Plus Mtb Hs468 Performance Line Rigid Tyres

These are outstanding tires in my view. Very hard-wearing and resistant to punctures, even after years of cycling over blackthorn and hawthorn strewn paths. The new ones seem to be performing just as well as the old ones.

Marathon much firmer at same pressure, runs very quietly on hard surfaces, well planted when pressure dropped.If puncture resistant works will buy again.Black Jack had about as much puncture resistant as a balloon. Had good results with decathlon filled tubes but when they failed you wind up repairing 3 or 4 punctures.

schwalbe marathon plus tyres are great tyres very good puncture resistant,I have them on both of my bikes great purchase

Oh well the idea is good puncture right in the Centre of the tyre so not any better than normal tyres very very disappointed s small thorn in the Centre maybe it was 6 mm long penetrating the 5 mm belt ! No count on them saving you then

Fitted to my lads Carrera MTB which is used every day on paper round and then in weekdays for two mile trip to school and back.He was getting punctures once or twice a week - picking up shrapnel on his round and thorns on the backtrack to school.We got so good at replacing inner tubes on rear wheel that we could enter timed events.But now - that's a thing of the past. Chose this specific one as it has that little strip of shielding - and in the last six months not a single puncture.We're so out of practice at fixing inner tubes we're going to have to retire gracefully and hand the timed event trophy back! But on the bright side - that's a good thing.Already mentioned about these to some poor unfortunate soul outside Asda fiddling about with a puncture repair kit. Hope he saw the light too.

Fed up after 17 punctures in 26 weeks, I purchased these tyres and, still taking the same old route, I am very happy to say that I have had 11 weeks with 0 punctures. Marvellous!

Grips well and gives confidence against punctures

Fabulous tyre, easier to fit than the marathon plus I have on my hybrid that's for sure. These tyres, with the slime tubes, should be indestructible. The only issue I had was with the packaging, the tyre came in a 6'x3' box 😮
