Schwalbe is now categorizing its TOUR portfolio into three clearly defined families: MARATHON, MOTION, and HYBRID. From there, riders can easily find the right model for their individual needs. With this realignment of the product range, Schwalbe aims to make choosing the right tire simpler and more efficient. To achieve this, the portfolio is being reduced by 30% and given a clear, new structure.

The new families.
From now on, there are three families within each of the three major cycling worlds — City & Tour, Dropbar, and MTB. Each stands for a clear area of use and helps you find the right tire faster.
For the long run
MARATHON
Schwalbe MARATHON tires are the reliable choice for everyday life on two wheels — long-lasting, worry-free, and built for every ride, from the city to the big cycling tour.
The Marathon family has historically grown around the original Marathon tire — the pioneer in durability and puncture protection since 1983.
The name Marathon has always stood for the highest quality and the latest in tire technology. The Marathon Plus models have consistently managed to set a new benchmark in puncture protection and are therefore the only tires that can claim to be "puncture-resistant." With "puncture-resistant," you can count on it. A Marathon product is a carrier of innovation and technology. The Green Marathon — as the most eco-friendly tire — continues down this path with conviction, proving that constant further development is an essential part of Schwalbe's DNA.
Every Marathon tire is a promise: A premium product you can rely on in any situation.
Marathon
Fast and reliable: Schwalbe's quickest touring tire for bicycles and e-bikes. Built as a super-efficient all-around tire for trekking bikes and e-bikes, it's lightweight yet sturdy enough for long days on the road. Its tread, casing, and compound work together to cut rolling resistance, helping you get up to speed faster and squeeze more range out of an e-bike battery. Made with the ADDIX Green compound, it's also one of Schwalbe's most environmentally friendly tires, built using up to 80% renewable and recycled materials. Avaliable in PRO version for peak performance.

The flat-less tire — Schwalbe's best-selling model. It's the most puncture-resistant pneumatic tire out there, thanks to a patented 5 mm thick SmartGuard layer that also lowers rolling resistance versus generic alternatives. The SmartGuard incorporates recycled rubber from old latex products, and a reinforced “anti-aging” sidewall resists cracking from low pressure over time. It's also e-bike ready, approved and tested for e-bikes up to 50 km/h.

Flat-less, built especially for e-bikes. With Schwalbe's top puncture protection level 7, the Marathon E-Plus pairs its SmartGuard layer with two extra layers of RaceGuard fabric for serious defense against sharp objects. The ADDIX-E compound, developed specifically for e-bikes, delivers strong grip and durability even at higher speeds, while a reinforced sidewall and carcass add load capacity and resist cracking over time.
Learn More
The pioneer in puncture protection, mileage, and environmental friendliness. Trusted for genrations, the puncture protection comes courtesy of the GreenGuard belt, while the tire itself is made entirely from Fair Rubber — Schwalbe's Fairtrade-certified rubber that supports fair wages for small farmers. It's also one of the most environmentally friendly tires out there, built from 80% recycled or renewable materials, including the first and only recycled carbon black sourced from old bicycle tires. A modern, sporty tread rounds it out, suited for both bikes and e-bikes.
Learn More
Safe, agile, and versatile — built for trekking bikes. As Schwalbe's benchmark touring tire, the Marathon Almotion is a lightweight, foldable companion designed for everyday touring and travel without sacrificing performance. Its RaceGuard puncture protection belt holds up well even with a loaded bike, and a new tread pattern combines a smooth center for efficient rolling with grippy outer blocks for traction off pavement and in wet weather. The ADDIX Green compound adds durability while using up to 80% renewable and recycled materials.
Learn More
Flat-less, with a purposeful trekking tread. Whether you're riding pavement or off-road, commuting daily or heading out on a longer expedition, this versatile tire is built to handle it. Its robust construction shrugs off rough treatment, and it's protected by SmartGuard — the most effective puncture protection belt available for bicycle tires, guarding against everyday hazards like glass, flint, and metal shards.
Learn More
The all-season tire. A siped tread pattern keeps the Marathon 365 gripping confidently in cold, wet, and snowy conditions, so there's no need to swap tires when the weather turns. It's built with the ADDIX 4Season compound to stay supple through temperature swings, and very good puncture protection comes from the GreenGuard belt underneath the tread.
Learn More
The most puncture-resistant MTB tire. Central ribs roll smoothly over hard-packed paths, while strong outer lugs dig in for serious off-road traction when the terrain gets rougher. The SmartGuard belt provides superior puncture protection against everyday hazards like glass and metal shards, and reflective detailing keeps you visible even after dark.
Learn More
The endurance runner, built for the long haul. Designed for thousand-kilometer expeditions and whatever the road throws at you, it's protected all-around by Double Defense Technology for reliable puncture resistance. It rolls smoothly on pavement but also carries up to 150 kg of total load off-road, so it holds up well with a fully loaded touring setup. The tread borrows from Schwalbe's MTB know-how — grooved shoulder lugs bite into loose terrain and wet corners, while smooth center blocks keep things efficient on pavement.
Learn MoreNEW
MARATHON Almotion
With the new MARATHON Almotion, Schwalbe has taken its benchmark in the touring tire segment to the next level. The sporty member of the MARATHON family combines low weight, high mileage, and the latest technology for demanding touring and bikepacking riders. The tire is designed as a versatile, ultra-lightweight companion for long distances and is also available as a PRO version. The completely newly developed tread with a modern closed center profile ensures a smooth ride and a long service life. The grippy outer blocks provide traction in wet conditions and high functionality — especially off paved roads.
For every day
MOTION
A Schwalbe MOTION is the everyday tire for your own path — individual, versatile, and always ready. Choose your tread and ride exactly the way that suits you.
The Motion family brings together all tires for personal expression. Motion tires offer individual tread patterns for individual needs.
From robust and load-bearing for demanding use on cargo bikes to light and dynamic for sporty urban bikes. In line with our guiding principle "the right tire for every bike," Motion models with their alternative tread patterns serve current trends just as well as the specific requirements of their respective applications.
The Motion family appeals to all-rounders & individualists, without compromising on functionality.

The MOTION Land Cruiser comes with basic puncture protection and is fully approved for e-bikes up to 25 km/h.
The Plus variant offers enhanced puncture protection through rubberized sidewalls and a three-millimeter puncture protection insert. A reflective side strip improves visibility in traffic.
For everywhere
HYBRID
A Schwalbe HYBRID is the crossover tire for SUVs and MTBs – tough off-road, reliable in everyday use, and built for those who want to go everywhere. The Hybrid family covers crossover tires for SUVs and MTBs that are also ridden in daily use.
Our Hybrid tires combine everyday and touring capability with off-road performance and puncture protection. They are an excellent fit for SUV bikes. Depending on the model, the balance between on- and off-road characteristics varies. Visually, this is always underlined by an attractive tread design. Voluminous like MTB tires, the models in the Hybrid family still roll quietly and smoothly on asphalt.
All tires in the Hybrid family deliver on both paved roads and unpaved trails.

Schwalbe & Schwalbe PRO
Range
Restructure.
Going forward, there will no longer be a distinction between Active, Performance, and Evolution Line. The focus is on Schwalbe and the product. Alongside the "Schwalbe Line" (which replaces the Active and Performance Line), there is now only one step up to the "Schwalbe PRO" Line. The "PRO" stands for the maximum in performance for the respective application — replacing the former Evolution Line.

NEW LABEL
Visible on the tire too
The labels not only get the new Schwalbe look, but are also updated in terms of the size and order of the individual details:
- The respective family comes first: Marathon, Motion, or Hybrid
- Followed by the blue-highlighted PRO suffix (where applicable)
- Then the model name, e.g. Almotion or Pick-Up
- Followed by variant details, TLR (Tubeless Ready, if applicable), the respective size, recommended tire pressure, and maximum load where relevant
COMPOUNDS
Unified
Compounds
Going forward, almost all tires in the city/touring segment will use either our most eco-friendly rubber compound ADDIX Green, formerly known as ADDIX Eco, or the Green Compound. Exceptions remain only for PRO Line models and the 365 models for very specific requirements.
ADDIX GREEN
ADDIX Green (formerly known as ADDIX Eco): Our ADDIX compounds stand for the highest performance and durability — for both tread and sidewall. At the same time, ADDIX Green is our most eco-friendly rubber compound, with up to 80% renewable and recycled materials, including recycled carbon black from our own tire recycling process — replacing fossil-produced industrial carbon black.
GREEN COMPOUND
Our Green Compound tread replaces the SBC compound in our entry-level models, delivering improved performance and durability. As a result, all Schwalbe tires now carry official e-bike approval (E-25). The Green Compound also scores on sustainability — it is made using polymers exclusively from renewable and recycled materials.
FAIR RUBBER
Another compound update: all PRO tires are now produced using fair-trade natural rubber (Fair Rubber) — just like many other models in our range.
