The new Flat-less tire. A heavy-duty trekking tread for asphalt, or offroad allows this
versatile tire to always feel at home, whether in everyday use, or on long tours. The robust
structure is an effective damage defense that is twinned with SmartGuard, the most effective
puncture protection belt for bicycle tires.

20" Marathon Plus

Any plans to offer a Marathon Plus in 20 inch size?

Kevlar bead

How about making a folding version of these?

I just ordered a Continental Top Contact folding tire. I’m about to order a Specialized Armadillo Crossroads, for comparison. It’d be nice if you guys had something in the line-up too. You get great reviews, and this seems like a near-ideal tire, except for the wire bead.

It saves weight, which makes a lot of sense when you’re biking a lot (if you’re not, you don’t need puncture-proof). In addition, it’s easier to mount and unmount, and easier to store.

Any chance this will ever

Any chance this will ever come out in 650B?

Bike Friday sizes

Will you ever have this available in 20” for touring with a Bike Friday?

Real Tire Review

I can’t believe no one has properly reviewed these tires yet. I just bought a set and put about 200 mi on them and so far I only see one draw-back; everything under the sun sticks to them. So far I’ve pulled off stones, tar, gum and, yes, even a band-aid which wouldn’t come off even by skidding the tire! Normally I wouldn’t have to much of a problem with this, but everything that sticks to these tires turns into a repetative bump which detracts from the best aspect of these tires: the ride. The ride is INCREDIBLE! It’s like you’re riding on marshmallows without the added drag. Even at 70 psi, you don’t feel vibration from the road OR the tread! And, boy, do they grip. These suckers are such a soft compound they even PULL PAINTED LINES OFF THE ROAD (which gives you a multi colored tire for a while), but it’s an awesome trick to show your friends. All in all, even if these weren’t flatless tires, they’d still be the best touring tire I’ve ever ridden!

And...?

Mounting tips?

I’ve just bought a pair of 26” Marathon Plus Tour tires. I put one on the front rim, no problem, but I absolutely cannot get the other one on the back, even after using dishwashing liquid. I should mention that the back rim is of a different make, but it is the same size.

Any tips on mounting these?

Thanks,
