You Won't Regret Buying These
Love these!
I have a Merida Big Nine 5000 and had begun experiencing punctures on every other ride - so, I decided to swap out the stock Maxxis Ikon tyres that came with the bike from new
Not knowing much about bike equipment, I did the normal research over a few weeks and these Schwalbe Marathon Plus' seemed to keep cropping up in my puncture-proof tyres search - looking through the normal review sites (Amazon and specialist bike blogs etc) whilst most reviews sang their praises, there were the odd comments about weight/slower/not so quiet etc
Having swapped them out myself (which was easy, 30 minutes tops for both tyres), I could not be happier with them - can barely hear them at times, a big improvement in 'rolling' especially on tarmac and no noticeable difference on dirt paths from the Ikons
It is still early days re the punctures (none yet), but I look forward to getting out now, with no fear of flats every time
Couldn't be happier with them....like REALLY happy!!
