SCHWALBE Marathon Winter Plus Smart Guard WIC 20´´ x 1.60 Rigid Urban Tyre
Conquer the winter streets with unwavering confidence and control. The SCHWALBE Marathon Winter Plus is the ultimate tyre for dedicated urban cyclists who refuse to let ice and snow dictate their riding schedule. Engineered for maximum safety on the most treacherous surfaces, this 20-inch tyre transforms your daily commute or city ride into a secure and predictable journey, even when conditions are at their worst. It provides unparalleled grip when cornering, braking, and accelerating on frozen roads, giving you the freedom to ride all season long.
The true power of the Marathon Winter Plus lies in its specialized design for icy conditions. Featuring 168 robust tungsten carbide spikes, this tyre bites firmly into slick ice, providing exceptional traction and stability where standard tyres would fail. These spikes are strategically placed to ensure optimal grip, especially when cornering, so you can navigate frosty bike lanes and icy intersections with complete peace of mind. For the best performance and to ensure spikes are permanently fixed, it´s recommended to run the tyres in on asphalt for about 40 km while avoiding hard acceleration or braking.
Beyond its incredible grip, this tyre is built with Schwalbe´s legendary Marathon durability. It incorporates the highly effective SmartGuard puncture protection belt, the most robust protection layer available. This virtually impenetrable shield provides outstanding defense against shards of glass, sharp metal, and other road debris that can cause frustrating flats. This level of protection is essential for a reliable Urban Cycling experience, ensuring you get to your destination without interruption. The rigid bead construction further enhances its durability and ensures a secure, dependable fit on your rim.
This Clincher tyre, with a versatile width of 1.6 inches, offers a fantastic balance between stability on slippery surfaces and efficient rolling on cleared pavement. Its design is perfectly suited for compact city bikes, folding bikes, and recumbents that use the 20´´ wheel size, bringing premium winter safety to a wide range of bicycles.
