SCHWALBESCH7087 Marathon Racer Performance Tyre - Black, 700 x 38 C

I have been using these tires for more than 10 years in Seattle. They are great year round on any paved surface, including poorly maintained pavement. I get about 8,000 miles on the front tire and 4,000 on the rear.

These are fast tires and sticky enough for aggressive riding. I wore through the KOJAK ires that came with my Ghost Speedline 1 after about 6 months and rotations of the tires. After regular flats, I went to Amazon for something like Gatorskins. I found these instead. Great price compared with other tires claiming puncture resistance and I've ridden over all kinds of road debris that Virginia construction pickup trucks seems to dump at every stoplight. I also purchase much heavier 700 X 35C Schwalbe tires for a future road trip and don't think I should have wasted the money - these aren't wearing much at all after 400+ miles of morning, pre-work rides. It's hard to find these given the complexity of the Schwalbe tire ontologies that they have, but these are indeed fast but also secure. You will not be disappointed!

The Schwalbe Marathon Racer is the lightest, and Schwalbe says the fastest, of the many confusing versions of the Schwalbe Marathon series of bicycle tires. Of course, the folding version is lighter still. Most touring bicyclists will probably opt for these cheaper wire bead versions of the Marathon Racer. On a recent 1100 mile bicycle tour I had no flats on the first half of the tour, but a number on the second half, so I give a neutral rating on flat protection to this tire. I am satisfied enough to have bought a new pair of Marathon Racers to use on my new bike. I have not tried all the number of bicycle touring tires on the market, but from my experience, if you want a touring specific relatively lightweight bicycle tire, you are not making a bad a choice to choose the Marathon Racer.

A-1

Every bike tire comes with some compromises but this tire fit my needs pretty well. Schwalbe is a reputable brand and this tire is the lightest in their marathon series. Decent tread for sun and rain. Great for city ridding and good enough for some races given the bike I have. No flats yet... not expecting the most resilient, flat-proof tire, but the protection is an upgrade over what I had.

I bought one to have as a spare. Currently I have a pair of them on my Cannondale T2 touring bike. They each have 2000 miles on them and look like they're good for at least 2000 more. Rugged and durable. Not a fast tire, but the rolling resistance is OK. We have a lot of broken glass on the roads around here, and never had a flat due to glass. Only one flat so far, and it was a large staple through the sidewall that I think would have killed any tire.

My Ghost Speedline 2 came equipped with Schwalbe Kojak tires, which I felt have insufficient tread for riding in the winter here in the Pacific Northwest. I replaced them with the Mariah on Racer HS 366s, and so far I have found them to be excellent.

Stiff tire.

Ottima gomma molto scorrevole, suggerita, io la uso su una bici da corsa che uso per commuting, rispetto alle classiche gomme da strada, queste sono leggermente più alte con un battistrada più pronunciato, dovrebbe avere una buona protezione per le forature.

Leider hatte ich mir den bestehenden Reifen durch die verzogene Bremse ruiniert.Zum Glück gab es den Reifen bei einem Händler hier für nur ~19€ inkl Versand!30€ wäre er mir aber ehrlich gesagt nicht wert.

Tire is great, just want I wanted, fast delivery

Habe für mein Gravelbike einen neuen Mantel gesucht.Dieser ist von der Qualität her sehr gut, leider ist der Durchmesser an der interne Toleranz, wodurch man den Reifen leider nicht aufziehen konnte (wurde auch mit Hilfen getestet und hat nicht geklappt leider).

Sie fahren sich kanz gut. Sin etwas anfälliger für Platten als Conti Contakt
