Hello and welcome to MAPS - the site for anyone and everyone that has had the pleasure of riding a set of the iconic Schwalbe Marathon tires. Since the launch of the original Marathon some 25 years ago, the Marathon has carved a place for itself in cycling history through its versatility and durability. There can be few serious cyclists who've never owned Europe's most ridden tire.

Nowadays, there is a Marathon for everyone - from the legendary original to the ultra lightweight Marathon Racer, and even a spiked snow tire, the Marathon Winter. Here we pay homage to the entire Marathon range, which you can access by clicking on the links to the right. We also pick our favourite Marathon for each cycling discipline, which you can see by clicking on the links above.

If you share our passion for the Schwalbe Marathon, we are sure you will enjoy this site. Choose your disciplne, choose your favourite - and spread the word - when it comes to touring tires, it has to be Marathon.
