The Gatorskin race bike tyre had filled a gap for hard core commuters but they wanted more, more casing, more breaker, more protection...

The Schwalbe Marathon Plus has been a popular choice for commuters and tourers for many years and now after almost 10 years the tyre has been thoroughly overhauled and as a result it has a new, dynamic profile and boasts many internal improvements.One of the main features that makes this such a popular tyre is the SmartGuard 5 mm thick layer of flexible, special india rubber that offers durable puncture protection. SmartGuard has a crucial advantage especially with objects that lodge in the tread and that can be forced through almost any other protection belt by the rotation of the wheel. Here the SmartGuard has the advantage of thickness, because a thumbtack, for instance, simply remains in the rubber without damaging the tube. SmartGuard does not increase rolling resistance however the Marathon Plus rolls as easily as a tyre without protection. Puncture protection is further enhanced thanks to TwinSkin sidewalls which have an additional rubber coating on the side to protect against cuts and allows for uniform colouring.
Primarily designed for use on the road thanks to its low rolling resistance slick tread, the Kojak is fast, sporty and light. With the addition of a RaceGuard protection belt and reflective text on the sidewall, the Kojak is ideal for daily commuters and those who like to explore by road.
The Schwalbe Marathon is the original touring tyre and has been the main choice of commuters and tourers for many years. The tyre has been completely revised and utilises GreenGuard which is a 3mm-thick india rubber layer made up of recycled latex products that hugely reduces punctures. Its new sidewall construction can withstand cracking resulting from overloading for a very long time, and this durability is only enhanced by the new Endurance compound. The tyre is finished with a 3M Scotchlite reflective rim that provides added safety when riding at night.
