Schwalbe andEscapahave teamed up to bring you the best bicycle tires and tubes. With theSchwalbe Marathon Plus 20" HS440 Twinskin tire, you can say goodbye to flat tires. This low-profile tire has been redesigned with the Smartguard protective belt—made of a highly elastic, special rubber—which is particularly strong. This tire consistently resists sharp objects, such as broken glass and small stones. Even a thumbtack cannot penetrate this protective layer. The Smartguard belt does not increase rolling resistance. TheSchwalbe Marathon Plus 20" HS440 Twinskin tire " rolls" just as easily as a tire without protection!
You can never completely rule out the possibility of a flat tire. But against the typical causes of a flat—such as broken glass or sharp stones—the Marathon Plus tires offer the best protection. Use the Marathon Plus pressure gauge to adjust tire pressure. Due to the tire’s special construction, checking pressure with your thumbs is insufficient.
