Schwalbe are celebrating the 40th anniversary of their most iconic tyre by giving it a well deserved update.

The Marathon has been given a modern tread design in order to conquer every challenge from urban jungle to bike touring.

Over 40 years ago Schwalbe set a new standard for puncture protection and durability and thanks to their continuous research and development, the Marathon remains the benchmark for these qualities today.

What is RCB?

The abbreviation RCB stands for recovered carbon black. It is obtained from used tyres. In the recycling process at Schwalbe's partner Pyrum Innovations, the tyres are mechanically processed (Shredded) and then recycled in a thermochemical process known as pyrolysis. The carbon black acts as a filler and reinforcing agent in the rubber compound. It influences the dynamic properties of the tyre (Abrasion, rolling resistance, wet grip) and is used for colouring.

Technology

Fair Rubber

Schwalbe is the first tyre manufacturer to offer products with Fairtrade rubber. Schwalbe pays a Fair Rubber premium for every kilogram of rubber. This premium is used exclusively to improve the living conditions of small farmers and their families.

E-25

Tyres with the recommendation "E-25" are the perfect choice for all pedelecs with pedal assistance up to 25 km/h. The most important criterion for this recommendation: safety.
