Marathon Plus 26" MTB Tire - Performance, SmartGuard, Addix, E-50

The Schwalbe Marathon Plus 26" MTB Tire is built for riders who want real-world speed on pavement and hardpack, plus dependable grip when the route turns rough—without constantly worrying about punctures. Its SmartGuard protection layer targets common flat causes like glass and road debris, making it a strong choice for commuting, touring, and utility riding on standard bikes or fast e-bikes.

The tread design prioritizes efficiency with a fast center section for low rolling resistance, while the shoulder lugs add bite for cornering and traction on loose surfaces. With E-50 e-bike suitability and ECE-R75 certification, it’s designed for the higher loads and sustained speeds that e-bike use can bring.

• SmartGuard puncture protection - Helps reduce flats from common hazards like glass and debris for higher day-to-day reliability
• Fast-rolling center ribs - Improves efficiency and smoothness on pavement and hard surfaces
• Off-road shoulder lugs - Adds cornering control and traction when conditions get loose or uneven
• Addix compound - Balances grip, rolling resistance, and tread life for mixed-surface riding
• ECE-R75 / E-50 e-bike rated - Verified for e-bike demands, supporting confident use on higher-speed, higher-load setups
• Pressure-sensitive performance - Best puncture protection and ride feel come from checking inflation with a gauge due to the tire’s reinforced construction
