## Description

The unpunctured tyre for the wheelchair. The Marathon Plus is now the absolute reference for puncture-proof pneumatic tyres on wheelchairs. The SmartGuard protective belt is made from recycled natural rubber. The "anti-ageing" side wall can withstand the typical overloads due to too low air pressure much longer.

Review: Absolutely top top class and easy to fit. - I had four punctures in only about 120 miles of cycling on my new Trek DS Sport 8.6 with Bontrager tyres. The bike’s great, but the tyres are rubbish, and as I was buying my third pair of replacement inner tubes the sales guy suggested puncture protective tyres. Frankly, mechanical ignoramus that I am, I did not even know such things existed. As usual a visit to desertcart produced a great selection; I always regard price as a give-away on items you want to reply on and so the slightly higher price than most and the large number of 5 stars attracted me to these Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres. It is in my nature to worry a lot about reviews that express difficulty in performing manual tasks; this is because I am a total half-wit when it comes to doing anything with my hands. I get men to do even the simplest of tasks in the home and any device in need of repair is either simply replaced or sent to a mender. My skills extend to very minor mechanical tasks but this does at least include mending punctures (or rather replacing the inner tube) and I have put new tyres on a bike before as well. I figured there was a You Tube video; I had got string and cable ties if needed; I’d had tyres on and off many times before and, most encouraging of all, and probably the decider for me, many of the reviews plainly thought the difficulties of fitting, expressed by so many, were exaggerated. So I decided to take the risk. To say they were much easier than I expected would be a huge understatement. Unfortunately, I cannot say that the exercise was trouble free but I believe this to be due to my own carelessness and absolutely not any refleciton of the tyre. On my first attempt everything seemed perfect and I had got the tyre on so easily I actually wondered if I had received the same tyre as ordered. However, on inflation, reaching about 80 psi the inner tube burst. Yet another tube up the Swuanee. I am still not entirely clear what caused this but I think I had not checked thoroughly and there was a place where the tyre was not on the rim properly. None weeks later I still have some minor hearing loss from the bang and ringing in my ears and I am awaiting an apppointment at Ear Nose and Throat. This is not a joke or an exaggeration. I am told I may have permanent damage. Be warned! Anyway, undaunted I tried again. The second time around, again dead easy to get the tyre on, but this time I made extra sure that it was sat perfectly in the rim and that the tube was not caught between tyre and rim in any place. I also inflated it gingerly and checked the tyre at about 2 bar before going further. This time all went smoothly; with this practice the other wheel took no time at all. I didn’t need the YouTube video, I didn’t need string or cable ties, I didn’t even need a tyre lever. I was able to get them on with my fingers alone. I just did not find that the tyre came off on one side as you worked in the other as so many seemed to find. I am not showing off. I want people to know that they are much easier than some would have you believe. If I can do it, anyone can do it, trust me on this. They look the part as well and the ride is undoubtedly smoother and even more comfortable than it was before. Nor do they seem to me to be materially heavier than what I had before. I found that I did not need to blow them up to the 80 to 85 psi I used to use previously with my Bontrager tyres. 70 psi seemed perfectly sufficient. So far, after nine weeks as already mentioned, and much use, I have not had a single puncture. To say that I am mightily impressed would be a massive understatement. These tyres really are the business. Absolutely first class.
Review: Reliable good quality - I’ve brought 4 of these over the last 5 years and so glad as they are reliable and not had one puncture yet! However I’ve used the lower quality version Tyrago and had a side puncture within 5 months of purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing and better with one additional tool
*by L***D on 7 September 2025*

These are phenomenal tyres. My first bike was a e-bike for commuting to work, about 8km each way. Punctures galore! Then I got some of these and I didn’t have one since. Back then I used typical tyre levers and it was a pain. The tyres are much firmer so they take a bit more work. Since moving I now commute by train which is only 3km away. Therefore, I bought a folding bike. I also bought a tyre glider tool off amazon and wow! On in seconds. If you are buying these, get the tyre glider too! Be aware they are a much firmer ride but that’s to be expected.
