Review: パンク耐性タイヤながら走行感が良い - 16inスポーツサイクル（注文生産）に使用。 購入時に装着されていたタイヤがパンクしてしまい、ソリッドタイプのノーパンクタイヤ（チューブ）を試しましたが、走行感が全く変わってしまい（加速しない/惰性が続かないetc）使いものにならなくなってしまったので、パンク耐性タイヤで名の通っている本品を試しました。 本品は、加速感/惰性の伸びetcもオリジナルタイヤに遜色無く、コーナリング時の感覚が少し違う程度でした。 使い始めて数ヶ月で、耐久性のテストはこれからですが、実績の有るタイヤなので、安心感はあります。 Review: The right tire for an ebike ## Features - Increased durability - Includes GreenGuard - 3mm of thick layer - Features Anti-aging ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004T0GCYU | | Bike Type | Road Bike | | Brand | Schwalbe | | Brand Name | Schwalbe | | Country Of Origin | Vietnam | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 5,816 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04026495627917 | | Item Diameter | 700 Millimetres | | Item Weight | 0.5 Kilograms | | Item Width | 3.7 Centimetres | | Manufacturer | SCHWALBE | | Material | Rubber | | Material Type | Rubber | | Mountain Bike Type | Road Bike | | Tensile Strength | 85 Pounds Per Square Inch | | Tire Type | Clincher | | Tread Type | Semi-Slick | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Item Diameter:** 16 Inches - **Brand:** Schwalbe - **Tire Type:** Tubular - **Item Width:** 1.75 Inches - **Bike Type:** Road Bike ## Images ![Marathon HS Wire Bead Tire - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Bd-+455vL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: is this the Schwalbe Marathon HS420 tire ? current Schwalbe catalog doesn't show an "RLX" model. thanks ...** A: Got my 20x1.50 tires today. They are HS420 E Bike teady tires. Clearly identity them on the sidewall and by stock I.D. number from Schwalbe. **Q: I want to mount this tire to a bike friday and with my wheels I require the 406 size tire. Is this the tire for me?** A: Yes (unless it's mislabeled. Fractional 20" sizes, e.g., 20 x 1 3/4, would not be 406, decimal 20" sizes, e.g., 20 x 1.5, should always be 406. This is according to Sheldon Brown (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html#decimal). **Q: Under the size selection, is there any difference between the 26x1.75 and 26x1.75 Inch? Those are the same tire sizes correct?** A: The thing to watch for is decimal vs fractional. Whether or not they include the inch on the label varies with the manufacturer, and is not important. However, 26 x 1.75 is NOT the same as 26 x 1 3/4. 26 x 1.75 (1.5, 2.0, etc.) is the same for everybody BUT Schwinn. Schwinn uses fractional, e.g., 26 x 1 3/4", and their parts are NOT interchangeable with anyone else's. **Q: Is the tire shipped folded? Or is it shipped in its original round and bulky self? What are the shipping dimensions?** A: This one came in a cardboard shipping box roughly 30x30x4. I ordered a Marathon Plus as well, but from a different vendor, and it was folded and shipped in white shipping wrap. Depends on the vendor, I guess. Either way, the tires are awesome! Never buy anything else again. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ パンク耐性タイヤながら走行感が良い *by メ***ン on 30 November 2023* 16inスポーツサイクル（注文生産）に使用。 購入時に装着されていたタイヤがパンクしてしまい、ソリッドタイプのノーパンクタイヤ（チューブ）を試しましたが、走行感が全く変わってしまい（加速しない/惰性が続かないetc）使いものにならなくなってしまったので、パンク耐性タイヤで名の通っている本品を試しました。 本品は、加速感/惰性の伸びetcもオリジナルタイヤに遜色無く、コーナリング時の感覚が少し違う程度でした。 使い始めて数ヶ月で、耐久性のテストはこれからですが、実績の有るタイヤなので、安心感はあります。 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The right tire for an ebike *by N***R on 27 October 2013* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely recommend to people in need to puncture resistant 700x25c tires *by K***N on 17 June 2018* ## Frequently Bought Together - Schwalbe Marathon Tyre - Slime Bike Inner Tube with Slime Puncture Sealant --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/376794434-marathon-hs-wire-bead-tire](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/376794434-marathon-hs-wire-bead-tire) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
