Profile World Edition

Profile May 2011

  • Celebrating the 25th anniversary of our Marathon tire. In 1985 the Marathon perfectly captured the spirit of the Germany environmental movement at the time. Everyday cyclists, touring cyclists and the specialized trade were overjoyed that they had a top quality bicycle tire suitable for everyday use.

  • A surprisingly good combination: Leopard and Schwalbe. Schwalbe is the tire sponsor of Luxemburg's newest race team Leopard-Trek. "We want to win the 2011 tour", says twice tour runner-up Andy Schleck.

  • "Green" Marathon wins Gold. On the occasion of its 25th anniversary, Schwalbe presented the fifth generation of the long-distance runner Marathon. The new features include a new profile design, innovative rubber mixture and a protection belt, from which one third is made up of recycled material.

  • Schwalbe is Tubeless ready. Schwalbe's MTB Evolution tires are now Tubeless ready: They can be converted into a tubeless tire by the addition of a latex based puncture sealant liquid ("latex milk"), or used quite normally by inserting an inner tube.

All this and more in the May issue of Profile.
