Schwalbe Tyres

• Marathan Original
  The original. The archetypal high quality touring tire. Now completely revised:GreenGuard. The highly elastic, India rubber layer is 3 mm thick. Other manufacturers call such a tire “Plus”. However, Green is not just the colour, but also the philosophy: One third of the GreenGuard is made up of recycled latex products. "Anti-Aging". The completely new sidewall construction can withstand for much longer the typical cracking resulting from overloading due to insufficient inflation pressure. Also the new Endurance Compound substantially increases durability.
  

  E-Bike Ready. The new Marathon has been designed for use on all types of E-bikes. The following sizes bear the ECE75 mark, suitable for use on faster, up to 50 kph, E-bikes.

• Marathan Plus
  A "Flat-less" tire that combines the comfort and easy rolling features of a pneumatic tire with puncture protection normally associated with PU tires. The SmartGuard puncture protection belt can handle even a heap of broken glass.
  Now with 2grip: smooth sidewalls that are hand friendly.
   
• Rocket Ron
  
  Real racers always want to improve by getting better and faster. Result: We radically revised
  Racing Ralph for the second time - with PaceStar Compound and a completely modified
  profile. Also the hard numbers show how ambitious we were:
  

  Carcass	127 EPI
  Weight	-30 g
  Rolling resistance	-20%

  In addition the modified profile and PaceStar compound provide even better control.
  29ers have a much larger contact area. For the first time the arrangement and proximity of lugs
  on the new Racing Ralph have been specially adapted to this greater contact area.
  It emphasizes even better the advantages of a 29" - rolling resistance and grip.
  Also available as a hand-made tubular tire in 26" and 29"!

• Nobby Nic
  
  Allgrounder! Now in a class of its own. Because we improved, “by evolution”, our all around, beloved MTB, tire test winner of many years. Here are the details:
  1. Phase shifted blocks. A variation in the interblock space has resulted in a profile cluster, which very positively
     affects grip.
  2. U-Blocks. The center blocks are non-directional. The tire is fitted to the rear wheel in same direction as the front
     wheel. So the U-blocks can act optimally against the cornering forces on both wheels.
  3. Cut resistance. The rubber tread compound migrates into the sidewalls. The shoulder area is thus better
     protected against cuts.
  4. Durability. Larger blocks increase the lifespan.
  5. Triple Nano-Compound. Naturally with our best rubber mixture for top performance grip and rolling resistance.
  Many detailed optimizations add up to a big difference:
  15% less rolling resistance than the former Nobby Nic.
  30 g weight saving. With its unbelievable power the new
  Nobby Nic is the true Allgrounder.
• Lugano
  Our entry-level model. Attractive bi-color compound. The classic diamond profile provides reliable performance on dry and wet roads. Naturally with a puncture protection belt.
   
• Durano S
  The faster Durano that is the true successor of the Stelvio. Dynamic slick profile and lots of color variants. Somewhat less durable than the regular Durano, but lighter and with lower rolling resistance.
   
• Ultremo ZX 
  As tire designers the Ultremo is the pinnacle of our ambition. We strived relentlessly to increase its speed and installed the ZX with HD Speed Guard and RaceStar Triple Compound. Both components are perfectly tuned to the requirements of an outstanding competition tire.
  

  The result: Significant reduction in rolling resistance. Even so we used additional material to reinforce the tire shoulders and to ensure a considerable increase in mileage.
  ZX - the best Ultremo ever!
