Description
Ride Confidently Day or Night with Marathon’s Touring-Ready Tires
Engineered for the dedicated commuter and touring cyclist tackling diverse terrain, the Marathon tire delivers unmatched reliability and safety. Its standout Reflex sidewalls feature integrated light-reflecting bands, significantly boosting your visibility during dawn, dusk, or night rides – essential peace of mind for urban explorers and long-distance tourers alike.
At the heart of its performance is a sophisticated dual-compound design:
* Endurance Silica Compound: Provides exceptional tread life and remarkably smooth rolling resistance, making every pedal stroke more efficient on your daily commute or weekend adventure.
* GreenGuard Protection Layer (3mm): Crafted from highly elastic natural rubber (33% recycled latex), this sub-tread layer absorbs shocks and enhances grip while contributing to an eco-conscious choice.
Crucial for worry-free journeys is the aramid-MB belt. This innovative shield weaves tough aramid fibers with natural rubber directly under the tread, offering superior puncture protection against road debris and glass – perfect for unpredictable city streets or country paths.
Built for Hybrid & Touring Bikes:
* Size: 27 x 1-1/4 (ISO 630×32)
* Bead: Sturdy Wire
* Weight: 660g (23oz)
* Color: Sleek Black with Reflective Stripe
