Puncture protection
SmartGuard
The Marathon Plus MTB is a 26 x 2.10-inch tube-type MTB tyre for riders who prioritise dependable puncture protection and long-distance practicality. Its substantial SmartGuard layer helps defend against everyday tyre hazards including glass, flints and metal shards, while the wired bead gives the tyre a robust, traditional construction.
On the road and firm paths, the central HS468 tread rolls efficiently and keeps noise and drag under control. Move onto gravel, dirt and light trails and the stronger outer lugs provide additional traction. This balanced tread has proved popular for touring and e-bike use, where you may ride a mixture of asphalt, packed trails, loose gravel and rougher surfaces in the same outing.
The tyre is approved for fast e-bikes up to the E-50 rating and carries the ECE-R75 mark. Reflective sidewall detailing improves visibility in low-light conditions, while the ADDIX compound supports the specified Marathon Plus MTB configuration. At 1,150 g, it is a deliberately protective rather than lightweight option, so it suits riders who value fewer interruptions over outright speed. Set pressure with a gauge rather than relying on a thumb check, and stay within the specified 2–4.5 Bar range.
Choose it for a 26-inch MTB, commuter or e-bike used on mixed roads, gravel, rail trails and light off-road terrain where puncture protection matters more than low weight.
SmartGuard puncture protection
The thick protective layer helps resist common hazards such as glass, flints and metal shards, reducing the likelihood of roadside tube repairs.
Mixed-surface HS468 tread
A faster-rolling centre section works well on asphalt and firm paths, while the outer lugs add grip on gravel, dirt and light trails.
Approved for fast e-bikes
The E-50 rating and ECE-R75 mark make this a suitable option for approved fast e-bike applications.
Reflective sidewalls
Black construction with reflective detailing helps make you more visible when riding in low-light conditions.
Built for loaded riding
With a maximum load of 121 kg, it is suited to practical commuting, touring and e-bike use where durability is a priority.
Wide pressure range
The 2–4.5 Bar range lets you tune the ride for smoother roads, rougher paths or additional comfort, within the specified limits.
Tube-type wired construction
This wired-bead tyre uses an inner tube and offers a robust, familiar fit for compatible 26-inch rims.

Every detail as listed by the manufacturer.
Schwalbe is a bicycle tyre and tube brand founded in 1973 by Ralf Bohle. The company began with a focus exclusively on bicycle tyres, at a time when bicycle tyres were generally regarded as a low-quality product category. The Schwalbe name comes from the German translation of “Swallow”, the name used for the tyres Ralf Bohle initially imported from Korea to Germany. The brand is associated with developments in bicycle puncture protection, balloon tyres, tubeless technology and the Marathon tyre series.
