Review on 🚲 Schwalbe Marathon Plus 47-622 (28 x 1.75) Tire: Endurance, Smart Guard, Wire Clincher, 1100g, Black - High Performance and Durability by Daniel Oliver

Marathon Plus HS 440: Great tire for commuter traffic - don't worry about the weight!

Excellent tires so far. Not a single flat tire on my daily route, littered with broken glass. The nice wide width makes for a smooth and fast ride on rough roads and is much better on grass and gravel than the previous 28mm tires I've replaced. There is no noticeable reduction in speed compared to my thinner and lighter tires. Hypothetically, the additional weight primarily affects acceleration and not cruising speed. So as long as you're not racing, you're fine. I got a Marathon Plus HS 440, the current model from Schwalbe.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Fits
