Review on Schwalbe Marathon Almotion Evo Folding Tire // 40-622 (28x1.5') V-Guard by Roberto Nastanovich

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great first impression

V-Guard (tube) version, size 40-622 These tires were very easy to fit, no tools required. They measure 40mm to 41mm on a 25mm (internal) rim at 45psi. On the road they roll well, are very smooth and quiet, and really cushion the impact on broken pavement. I had no problems with straight-line stability or (normal) cornering. I would say that the handling characteristics are excellent, like the Schwalbe G-One Allround or the Panaracer GravelKing+. They feel a lot better than the Continental Top Contact II. I haven't ridden them on gravel or mud yet. I hope the off-road traction is better than the slick GravelKing+, the tread life is better than the gnarly G-One and the puncture resistance is better than both.

  • Price
