Schwalbe
Marathon Plus 26" Tire (HS 440)

Lower drag (gained 1 mph) compared to knobbies, and one of only few tires that fit on my existing rims. Worked well for driving on roads and packed gravel for a cross-country trek over the pass. Great for commuting to work as well.

I've ridden coast to coast across America on Schwalbe tires, and I recently purchased this specific width of tire for a rail-trail tour on the Blue River, Chief Standing Bear, Homestead and Mopac rail-trails in NE Kansas and SE Nebraska. We had heard that there might be goatheads on a section of these trails, so I wanted the best protection for worry-free riding. I had a fabulous six-day tour out and back on these trails and not a single puncture. The tires also handled a rainy, wet day on the trail with absolutely no problem - this width of tire cut into the top wet layer of crushed limestone with fabulous handling (while my touring partner's wider tires floated a bit on top, making his bike harder to handle). Fabulous worry-free tire that's perfect for touring on rail-trails.

Great tire.. great price.. fast shipping.

These tires are not light but for touring or for your commuter you cannot go wrong. Nearly bullet proof.

My first choice for my ebike was a Continental Contact Plus Tire which wasn�t available. I decided I would order a Schwalbe Marathon. I am very satisfied with this tire and would order it again.

Very good price and order came in within 4 days. Little hard to install but able to put on without too much trouble. So far with 300 miles & going strong.

I use this tire on my five mile work commute. It has great tread wear and very puncture resistant ! Bomb Proof ! Makes the Long Haul Trucker roll smooth as glass...

I love them. I tour and Commute averaging about 125 miles a week and these tires are solid

I put these on my mountain bike so I could ride on rough roads. They were perfect!

i use the tires on my e-bike. and ride every day.

the best road tire for the long distance

These tires are great. I have been using Schwables exclusively for the last 15 years on all my bikes. I know they are good, because the Dutch remember the Germans invading Netherlands. However in spite of that , the only tires you can buy in Netherlands are Schwables. They also love the Rohloff hubs, which I also have on my recumbent Hase Trike along with the 20 x 1.75 inch and 16 x 1.75 tires. You need to add to the description, bicycle vehiclist which I have been since 1985. A bicycle vehiclist owns no car and does everything by bike, most people do with their cars. My cargo bike can carry passengers and has as much floor space as a BMW motorcycle. It has electric assist for use on the steep hills here. I do use public transportation, but unfotrunately Amtrak will not take recumbents which are my most favorite bike to tour with.

My wife and I have rolled over 40,000 miles on some pretty remote trails with Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires on both of our HP Scorpion's. We have had only three punctures in three and a half years and one was a roofing nail that would have punctured an automobile tire. We wouldn't trust any other tire.

I never would have guessed that just changing my tires would make such a huge difference. Now my ride is very comfortable, smooth, fast, responsive, and has excellent grip. They are worth the money that I paid for them.

I've installed this on my CatTrike road, which has a 26" rear wheel conversion kit. The combination of moving to a 26" wheel, a 1.75" tire, and the Schwalbe Marathon Plus has results in an incredibly smooth ride even over rough terrain. On a trike, that rear wheel is critical to the experience and this tire has made a huge difference.

I used the Schwalbe Marathon Plus 26" tire on my last two rides across America. Each ride starts at the Capital Building in Salem Oregon and ends at the Capital Building in Washington DC. 3300 miles of touring and 700 miles of training (in one year) on the same set of tires. Only one flat tire in two years. I'm currently training on last years tires and I'll replace them with a new set of Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires (HS 440) before I leave this spring on my third ride across America. GREAT TIRE

We installed the 26x1.75 tires on our DaVinci tandem in preparation for riding the C&O Canal. We were looking for a tire that would be good for the weight and service of a tandem on rough and uneven surfaces.

The tread is an aggressive touring type that should be good on a variety of surfaces.

We have not ridden the C&O yet, but we have been putting on some miles on rough roads and some dirt path trails with good result. The ride is smooth and stable.

Very pleased with this tire.

I have put over 300 miles on these tires with absolutely no problems. I am using them on an electric bike most on bike paths and streets. I highly recommend them to other e-bikers. Good traction and no flats, which I was getting on the bike's original equipment on the same terrain.

Smoother ride on bumpy roads. I've only used the tires on nice trails but still a good ride

I have used this product for many years for commuting, regular riding, and touring. It is very sturdy and has very significantly reduced flats. The time that it saves me for not having to fix flats is great. This is my tire of choice. I recommend it for regular riding, commuting, and touring.
