The Original High-Mileage Touring Tire for Brompton Folding Bikes
The Schwalbe Green Marathon is the archetypal touring tire, purpose-built for utility riders who demand dependable performance and exceptional longevity. Designed specifically for Brompton folding bikes in the 16 x 1.35" size (35-349 ETRTO), this tire features a highly elastic 3mm thick GreenGuard puncture protection layer made from India rubber—one third of which comes from recycled latex products. This impressive protection stops glass, thorns, and debris from reaching your inner tube, keeping you rolling mile after mile without the frustration of frequent flats.
The Green Marathon strikes the ideal balance for utility riders: robust puncture resistance, excellent grip on varied surfaces, and low rolling resistance that won't slow you down. The Anti-Aging sidewall construction resists the typical cracking caused by underinflation or overloading, extending tire life far beyond conventional options. A full reflective stripe on the sidewall enhances visibility during night rides. With Schwalbe's legendary Endurance compound and proven design, this is the tire to choose when you need one dependable option for daily commuting, touring, and all-weather riding on your Brompton.
