Schwalbe Marathon Plus 16 x 1.35 tyre with SmartGuard

It is impossible to guarantee that a flat will never happen, but the Marathon Plus has the best defense against everyday tire wreckers such as glass, flints or metal shards. Use a pressure gauge to adjust tire pressures as the common 'thumb check' is insufficient due to the special construction of the Marathon Plus.

From a Brompton point of view, the Marathon Plus has more tread but is thinner than either the old standard (yellow label) or kevlar (green label) Brompton 16" x 1 3/8 " tyres for folding bikes, and is lined with SmartGuard rubber.

The new generation Marathon plus tyre from Schwalbe gives the touring and recreational cyclist an opportunity to ride one of the lowest rolling resistance tyres for high mileage and optimum safety

The modern tread pattern is designed around a silica compound and a Kevlar puncture protection belt making it ideal for leisure riding, offering complete reliability.

At night the Marathon plus tyre comes into its own - with the application of 3M Scotchlite reflective material along the sidewall the tyre provides unparalleled safety at night when the risk of an accident is heightened

The Marathon plus is able to give the opportunity for touring and recreational cyclists to ride one of the lowest rolling resistance tyres for high mileage.

Note: If you are using the brompton tyre (bottle) dynamo which connects with the tyre, please use a standard brompton tyre rather than this one, as there is a slight size difference which will affect your dynamo's capability to function correctly. (i.e. it won't work properly!)

• High quality tyre for touring and everyday use
• Smart guard puncture protection
• All round tread compound
