SchwalbeMarathon 700c Tire (HS 420)(Return to Product Page)

Just put a pair of 700x35s on my Jamis Bosanova and it's like having a brand new bike. The tires were easy to get on the rims though 35mm was really pushing the fender clearance - a very tight fit. I only wish I had purchased these thousands of miles ago, the ride is so smooth and comfortable now having ditched the harsh Vittoria stock tires.

there is nothing to dislike about this tire. No flats, rolls freely, inflatable to 95 lbs.,great traction, easy to install, good price.

My son and I rode with these from Seattle to San Francisco. Not a single flat.

Schwalbe tires are great for what they are. Not a race tire but a good city tire for everyday and every condition riding. Comfortable and long wearing. I can't recommend enough.

I had read many reviews on this tire, and my commuter was ready for new rubber so I decided to try a pair. I commute 4000 miles a year, and ride in all weather, so traction in wet and slushy conditions was important. I mounted them myself, and here I encountered a fit issue - they were loose on my Alex 700C rims. I had to finesse them to get the bead seated, since they wanted to come off the rim. This could be an issue with an on-the-road flat repair. Basically I had to keep partially inflating, and pushing the high spots down into the groove to get the bead engaged on the sidewall hook before going to full riding pressure. Fiddly... That said, riding them I find the ride to be very good, they seem to roll better than the Kenda's I replaced (OEM on my Charge Mixer) and grip very well in the wet. Oh, and the reflective strip is a nice touch on a commuter tire too!

I have been riding these tires for a year now and have not had a flat. I use them on the bike paths in town where we have a lot of broken glass. Also use them on a bike i set up to ride on gravel. If you don't like flats when you would rather be riding I recommend you give these tires a try.

I traveled through whole Europe with this amazing tire without any flat problem!

Yes, I have my fingers crossed, but... Five years and hundreds of city, trail, and road miles and not one flat. They are heavy but extremely durable. Currently using them on my one year old Specialized Cirrus.

3200 miles and I finally got a flat, big chunk of glass. I practically tore my fingers apart trying to get the glass out - I was impressed with how hard it was to remove, I kind of felt like Wiley Coyote pulling on a rubber band - the thing just wouldn't let go. The Greenguard is tough stuff, hard to get things through it and that's why it's been such a reliable tire.

Low rolling resistance is nice too.

I purchased these tires as an exact replacement set - the prior pair have over 4K miles and counting on a combination of hard surface and gravel trails without a single puncture. I enjoy the smooth ride, reliability, and confidence to hold a line.

I've been using Schwalbe Marathons for years. They serve very wall for a long time in my daily commutes to the gym and work on neighborhood streets and gravel trails. I rarely get a flat. They take a little more muscle to mount than less-expensive tires I've tried, but I suspect that is a sign of the quality of materials. Highly recommended.

Excercise riding. Some touring.

Great puncture proof tie for long distance touring

I have been commuting on Schwalbe Marathons since 2012 and have had two punctures during that time. They are a little heavy, however, the trade off with a puncture free commute is worth it. During that time I also did a 1,000 mile tour with no punctures.

I use these to ride on asphalt and sidewalks with occasional gravel. They don't have great traction in mud, but that's to be expected with the tread design when pumped up to the higher pressure rating. Overall, seem good for touring with roads and paved trail. I've only ridden 150mi on them, but absolutely no complaints so far.

I bought these tires to put on a gravel bike I built. I want to start by saying these tires have a lot going for them. They roll incredibly well for 32MM tires. I have ridden them on a variety of surfaces and they hook up great. Everything from asphalt, to grass, to gravel, to boulder strewn jeep trails, to hard pack dirt. They took a pounding over about 500 miles during my 3 week vacation in the Colorado Rockies and they show no wear, cuts or abrasions. The critical flaw is that the front tire is out of round. I mounted them before I went on my vacation and rode them for about 100 miles on the paths around New Orleans. The front tire has a very pronounced thump, thump, thump as it rotates. I put the bike in my stand, spun the tire and lowered a straight edge to the tire. That really made the bad spot stand out. There would be plenty of clearance throughout most of the tire's rotation then about an inch of the tire would rub. Had the tire not been defective, I would have given 5 stars.

I ride a set of 700 x 35's, mounted on a touring bike, across paved trails, road shoulders, grass and gravel. After 500 miles, no flats, smooth ride, only 1 needed re-inflation.

I'v only ridden a few hundred miles on them but they seem very flat resistant, very good on pavement or hard-packed surfaces not so good on loose sanddirt. I no longer worry about running over stuff in the street...

Ive had the tires for a few weeks with no flats so far. Live in the middle of goat head country. Arrived quickly after ordering.

Had tires to my door in a couple of days!
