The Marathon Plus is the only tire worldwide that can claim to be flat-less. This is thanks to its unique, patented puncture protection layer—five millimeters thick and made of special, highly elastic rubber. Even thumbtacks can't puncture this tire. But the new Marathon Plus isn't just flat-less. It also rolls lighter than ever and, thanks to its anti-aging sidewalls, is incredibly durable. It's also suitable and certified for fast e-bikes.

Rolls lighter
The unique puncture protection layer makes the Marathon Plus slightly heavier. Although the Marathon Plus weighs a bit more, its rolling characteristics are excellent. The laboratory test objectively confirms what one can already experience subjectively on the bike: the new Marathon Plus rolls significantly lighter than other tires with a comparably thick puncture protection layer.

Longer lifespan
The original Marathon Plus is now protected against premature aging due to weather influences or overload from low air pressure. We've developed a special anti-aging technology. This makes the sidewalls of the Marathon Plus extremely resistant to unsightly cracks. Furthermore, the Marathon lives up to its name with a new rubber compound: the Endurance compound rolls thousands of kilometers with excellent handling and low wear.

Saves natural resources
The Marathon Plus's puncture protection layer is extremely elastic. This is doubly important – for total protection and for the dynamic rolling motion. This high elasticity can only be achieved with a special rubber containing a large amount of natural rubber. Natural rubber is a valuable resource. Recycling is only available at a very expensive cost. Despite this, we choose to do so. That's why the new Marathon Plus's puncture protection layer is made partly of recycled natural rubber.

Excellent for E-bikes
E-bikes are a hot topic. Crucially, they're fitted with exceptionally stable, puncture-resistant tires that are durable. The Marathon Plus naturally meets all the requirements for e-bike tires. This applies not only to e-bikes with pedal assistance up to 25 km/h. The new Marathon Plus is certified with the European quality mark for e-bikes up to 50 km/h in all common sizes.
