Schwalbe “The Green” Marathon Tyre 700 x 38c

The Schwalbe Green Marathon Tyre 700 x 38c is built for cyclists who want a reliable, eco-conscious tyre without compromising on performance. Whether you’re cruising the bitumen, rolling over light gravel paths, or tackling the occasional dirt trail, this tyre handles it with confidence. Schwalbe’s renowned GreenGuard layer adds a solid line of defence against punctures, offering peace of mind no matter the terrain.

This latest version of the Marathon brings with it a sustainability focus that’s hard to ignore—crafted from 80% recycled or renewable materials, including carbon black derived from used bicycle tyres. It’s also the first Marathon made entirely with Fair Rubber. The modern tread pattern keeps things looking sharp while delivering sure-footed grip in all conditions. Price is for one tyre.

Who is this for?

Commuters, e-bike riders, and weekend tourers who value durability, puncture resistance, and a bit of off-road capability. Ideal for those riding mixed routes that shift between asphalt, hardpack gravel, and light trail surfaces.

Who is this not for?

Performance-focused road cyclists chasing speed, or mountain bikers seeking aggressive off-road tread. This tyre leans toward everyday use, not race-day performance.

Why we love it

It’s hard not to appreciate a tyre that lasts, resists punctures, and doesn’t trash the planet. The Green Marathon combines practical reliability with a lower environmental footprint. The reflective sidewall is a bonus for visibility, especially on early commutes or late returns.
