Brompton Schwalbe Marathon Racer Tan Wall Tyre

Brompton Schwalbe Marathon Racer 16 inch tyre - Tan Wall

The Schwalbe Marathon 16 x 1 1/3 inch tyre was originally introduced on the 2018 model Brompton and is the entry level of three tyres fitted as standard in the factory on the current Brompton folding bike range (as at end 2018 - along with Kojak and Marathon)

This version of the tyre is new for 2021 - a tan wall version with folding bead - originally available only on the Brompton Explore special edition bike

The Marathon Racer tan wall is made by Schwalbe in the 16 inch size specifically for Brompton - previously it was only available for larger wheeled bikes

Note: The tyre is directional - this means it is designed to run in one direction - so should be fitted accordingly. There is a direction indicator moulded into the side wall of the tyre, it is not always that easy to spot - we have added it to the video to try and help
