Schwalbe's New Marathon E-Plus Tire: Optimized for E-Bikes

Features and Performance

The Schwalbe Marathon E-Plus is the company's first tire specifically designed for electric bikes. It combines proven puncture-resistant technology with new features to meet the demands of e-bikes.

The tire incorporates Schwalbe's patented SmartGuard puncture protection layer, ensuring excellent flat protection. Additionally, the E-Plus features a reinforced sidewall to withstand the increased weight and torque of e-bikes.

Rolling Resistance and Grip

Despite its puncture-resistant construction, the Marathon E-Plus has surprisingly low rolling resistance. Testing has shown that it requires only 60 watts to maintain a speed of 18 mph, which is comparable to top-quality road tires.

The tire's tread pattern provides excellent grip on both wet and dry surfaces, ensuring stability and control for e-bike riders.

Comparison to Marathon Mondial Evo

Schwalbe's Marathon Mondial Evo is another popular tire for e-bikes. The E-Plus offers several improvements over the Mondial Evo, including:

• Increased puncture protection
• Lower rolling resistance
• Improved grip

The Marathon E-Plus is a significant upgrade for e-bike riders seeking a tire that combines durability, performance, and safety.
