SCHWALBE Marathon Supreme Race & Road Folding Clincher Bike Tire - Multiple Sizes | Evolution Line | Black/Reflective | High-Performance Cycling for Commuting & Touring

I've had these tires (700x35 size) about a week and I've put about 100 miles on them so far, including a driving rainstorm yesterday. They are fantastic and a huge upgrade from my old worn out tires.They are light weight and the difference in rolling resistance is readily apparent - when coasting down a hill, it's clear I can roll further without pedaling. Last night's ride was in a hilly area and a driving rainstorm popped up at the end and I felt acceptably secure - perhaps a smidge less traction than my old tires but well within the range I'd expect. (Traction and rolling resistance have an opposite correlation - improving one will necessarily impact the other).I can't vouch for puncture resistance yet, but so far so good.I love the reflective strip on the sidewalls - they're impressively visible!These are by far the most expensive bike tires I've ever bought, but they're worth it.I got a set of these to replace my Schwalbe Mondial Evos, which I felt had too much rolling resistance on pavement. These roll super fast and grip the road well. I am happy to sacrifice off-road traction for speed since I mostly ride this bike on paved roads and trails. The Mondial Evos are fantastic tires too, so I’ll definitely hang on to them for gravel and light trail riding. You can’t go wrong with Schwalbe tires.This tire transformed my commute!! I'm commuting 30 miles a day, through glass-smooth tarmac to multi-use paths to roads with tar-filled expansion joints that give you the kinda jitters worse than some gravel trails out here. I knew that my 700 x 25c tires weren't going to cut it for me over the long haul. Enter the Schwalbe Marathon Supremes. These things roll fast, are plenty light enough, and I've confidence in how they'll hold up over terrain with opportunities to slash and puncture the tire. My rides now are much more comfortable, which makes me that much faster. I certainly don't have to get off the saddle to relieve discomfort as much (which is also a function of saddle choice - still dialing that in) but choosing these Supremes got me 15% closer to finding my 100% ideal commuter setup. The reflective stripes on the side help for side visibility too, as I'll have some night rides soon enough into the later seasons.Will certainly purchase these again. I perhaps would consider some Compass (Bon Jon Pass) tires for comfort rides on the roadie, although reviews say that these would be better against punctures. In which case, again I'm over the moon with these tires. One of the best bike upgrades I've made this year. Thanks guys.I do bicycle touring and these tires are great. They roll very easily and have a very smooth and plush ride. They have thick treads, which are puncture resistant. Because I am able to run these tires tubeless, if I do get a puncture, I won't get a flat. I also like the reflective sidewalls which are very bright at night when illuminated by car headlights. One thing to be aware of is that these tires are quite difficult to get on and off the rim. I had to have the guy at my local bike shop show me some pro tips before I could get them on my rims. It can be done with just a sturdy set of tire levers, but only with the right technique.I was able to purchase a set one tire at a time for an oddly low price here on Amazon. I owned and destroyed the previous version of these tires several years ago (the review is elsewhere on Amazon).The short version of the story is that they performed great, in that they were very smooth and fast-rolling with good traction on pavement and dry, hardpack dirt or rocks, but the sidewalls disintegrated under some only slightly rough use when the tread had only slight wear. I concluded they were best for elderly riders who never go off-road, ride over curbs, do bunny hops, etc. (And to be fair, I guess they are marketed as "touring" tires.)The ride of these new tires is similar at 45ish psi. We'll just see whether riding them in a not-entirely-staid fashion destroys them quickly, or if version two is constructed more strongly.Bought these for my Specialized Rockhopper 29er, fit is spot on. I got the 29x2.0 and measured the width at exactly 2.01 with calipers. Difference between these and the stock Captain Sport 29x2.0 knobbies is night and day for road use. Alot easier to stay at the higher gearing with these. These were the lightest I could find at the 2.0 width. They roll well and fast, grip is awesome, and even though they are wide only about 1/3 of the tire contact the road at a given time. They remind me of motorcycle sport bike tires grippy and easy to lean into the curves with.I know price is high but they should last longer with better puncture protection than most, according to reviews I could find about the previous generation of marathon supremes. I think they are worth the money considering good tires is about one of the few switches you can do to make a mtb ALOT more road friendly, oh and I don't miss the buzzing sound at high speeds, these are quiet.Can't review the tire much at this point as i've only mounted it (tubeless - sealed up fine), but this tire is NOT 2" wide. On my (admittedly somewhat narrow) 18mm ID wheels I measure about 46mm width after sitting at max PSI a few days. I have a few 26x~2" tires and the rest have all measured pretty close to advertised size. Here's what I've used on my originally 700c cross bike: 26x2.1 Schwalbe Thunder Burt require a perfectly true wheel or it rubs (decided not to run in back, but would have been ideal), 26x2 Race Kings are a little tight but acceptable (my rough stuff choice for the rear), 26x1.9 double fighter III's fit about perfect (worked rather well for gravel/street duty but are heavy), but these Marathons look tiny.Granted I got these tires for street use and being a little undersized probably doesn't matter much there, still it's disappointing as I was thinking they might double for light gravel use as well.Unexpected slight bulge in side wall (not the first time among recent production), having a hard time stopping the thire rubbing on the edge of the mudguard. Feels slightly slower than generic Marathon Plus due to reduced bounciness at 45PSI (speed perception) .Good quality product and on time delivery. Decent puncture resistance and lasts well. Fairly smooth tread but I have had no problems wet or dry.Mich haben die G-One von Schwalbe genervt, weil ich die immer nach 2000km runtergefahren hatte, war mir doch ein bisschen zu wenig. Auch Pannenanfälligkeit war bei den G-One ein Thema.Mit den Marathon Supreme widmet man schon etwas an Fahreigenschaften (die sind viel härter) und auch an Gewicht, aber die sind schon extrem robust, ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, diese Reifen mit normalen Fahrbedingungen kaputtzumachen.Auf der Straße einfach top, auf Schotterwegen kann man die noch ganz gut fahren (vor allem tubeless), unbefestigte Wege (Kies, Matsch, usw.) machen die natürlich nicht gerne mit, aber das müsste jedem vor dem Kauf solch eines Reifens klar sein. ;)Besonders gut finde ich: fühlen sich montiert so robust wie Marathon Plus an (gefühlt, kein wissenschaftlicher Test!!!), aber wiegen deutlich weniger. Von daher gerne die 5 Sterne.Habe mir den Supreme als Ersatz für den Marathon Plus gekauft. Kaufgründe waren, dass der Reifen deutlich leichter als der Plus waren.Habe nun mit den Supreme ca. 8.000 km gefahren. Bei zwei Decken hat man eine Gewichtsersparniss von ca. 800 gr. Hört sich nicht viel an, ist aber beim Lenkverhalten deutlich merkbar. Auch hat sich das Fahrverhalten beim Geradeauslauf und in Kurven deutlich verbessert. Der Hinterreifen hat ca. 7.500 km gehalten, also für mich zumindest mehr als ausreichend.Einen kleinen Nachteil will ich nicht verschweigen, der Marathon Plus ist einfach pannensicherer. ca. 50.000 km ohne einmal einen Flicken bemühen zu müssen, ist grandios.Beim Supreme hatte sich nach ca. 5.000 km ein Brombeerdorn durch die Decke gebohrt und für einen schleichenden Luftverlust geführt, aber damit kann ich leben.Der Reifen ist teuer und schön verarbeitet. Er hat sehr guter Werte bei Bike rolling resistance test. ich hab den in 37-622 aufs Hinterrad eingebaut. Ich bin ja kein Profi, und merke kein unterschied :) Außerdem ist auf den vorderen Rad immer noch alte Conti supersonic in 42-622 drauf. Völlig legitim, was nicht kaputt ist, braucht man auch nicht tauschen.Größe bei meinem Examplar ist wie angegeben. Bei maximnaler Druck von 6 bar habe ich 36mm gemessen. Der wiegt auch ein paar Gramm leichter als angegeben.Kaufempfehlung. Aber teuer ist er schon.Für die Freunde die aufs Gewicht achten, schlage ich folgende Produkte vor:Felgenband: Schwalbe - HIGH-Pressure-Klebefelgenband, aus Textil, ist robust und leicht, Kunsstoff Felgenband ist 30g schwerer.Maxxis Welterweight Schlauch---etw. 125 g , ist damit 30g leichter als Conti/Schwalbe, und kostet nicht die Welt ( bei mein Liebling online Bike-Laden).
