Review on 🚲 Schwalbe Marathon Plus RLX 26x1.35 Bicycle Tire: Durable Black Wire Beaded Design by Luca Washington

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Get this and no more flats

I've been using Schwalbe tires for a while. I have the MP set on my two wheeler recumbent (700c) and on my rear 26 inch recumbent. I've ridden a 700c for over a year without a flat tire and was only defeated by a very large wood screw on the road. However, the tire deflected the bolt so I didn't mess up the rim. You don't need liners, heavy cameras, nasty gooey gel or anything but those bad boys. I liked them MUCH better than the Specialized Armadillo (still a good tire). But these are the perfect tires for touring. They're not very heavy, and if you're going cross-country, the speed won't be any higher than the speed on any given day. I have driven over 4000 miles on these tires and expect more.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • old
