Marathon Supreme HS 382

i have these in 26 X 2.0 and they are really fast! they are also extremely comfortable. i run them at 50psi

What is the outside diameter of the the 26x2.0 tire? Thanks in advance!

I had high expectations for this pricier touring tire.

They were met. The first tour: No flats for all 900 km on all kinds of terrain, including glass-strewn city streets. On a fully-loaded folding bicyle.

I place a pretty high cost on dealing with flats on tour because they can really throw a wrench in your plans. Unexpected delays are always stressful. And a flat is not just a delay, it’s a full halt until it’s fixed, wherever and in whatever conditions. So paying more for a rock-solid tire is something I’ll not regret.

I only sometimes wished I could have rolled a little faster. 42mm is too wide for a strict road tire, but I did appreciate the extra traction when tackling some logging roads and unpaved paths in the Schwäbisch Alps. I would have walked so much more of the looser paths had I not had as wide a tire. As an occasional off-road, all-rounder touring tire, the Supremes truely shine.

Hey, Schwalbe Guy…
The Stelvio has four speed bars and the Supreme has five, but when I switched from Stelvios to Supremes I noticed a definite 2 mph drop. What do the speed bars mean and what are they comparing against? Thanks.

Does the Marathon Supreme have a certain direction of rotation or does it not mater how they are installed.

Any plans to produce a 700x28c Marathon Supreme?

I have a Cannondale Bent I. It uses a 16” front tire. I purchase my tires in sets. I am excited about the Marathon Supreme HS 382 for my recumbent. Please let me know when you have a 16” tire for my front wheel, and I will order a set.

Schwalbe products seem to be highly rated but I have some questions…

My questions are the following:

Why do we have to keep asking “when are the tires coming in” (this includes me)?
If this is supply and demand, why does it seem that supply can’t meet demand?
Does the company keep low supply to keep prices high (like Harley Davidson)?
Is it run by one person who has to do everything? *8^)

Of many of the US bike shops that sell Schwalbe, most don’t have the size I’m looking
for, or are just out of stock.

It’s OK to bash me on this, I just needed to ask the questions.

When are you going to get 29 inches back in stock?

I too would love to see smaller 700x28c & 700x25c Marathon Supremes introduced. The 32 just won’t fit my single speed commuter/training bike. And the near slick design seems perfect for mostly asphalt riding.

Hello out there……
Can you tell me when the 700x32 Supremes will be back in stock????
From; bigbearjim@hotmail.com

Are 26x2 Supremes likely to result in a faster ride than 26x1.75 Plus tires?

Please make the Marathon Supreme in a 2.35 width for a 29er bike for all road touring

Thanks

When are the 700x32c tires going to be back in stock?

The Marathon Supreme should be developed into a lighter version (similar weight to the Kojak or lighter) for greater speed, with the same tread and rubber compound as the existing Marathon Supreme for superior grip. The new tyre should not need to have the extra weight of puncture protection (270g heavier than the current Kojaks for example). It would be a tyre for those who want most of the characteristics of the Marathon Supreme but with extra grip. Perhaps it could be called the Marathon Ultra or GP. And definitely make it in 26 x 2.0 width - that’s a great width.

Keep the weight down for speed, and the grip levels up for aggressive on road cornering.

let me know when will 11647483 (700 X 32) be back in stock. Thanks very much

I commute 10 miles everyday. Rain, snow, sun and dark, warm, cold and wind. I used to be the fastest flat changer at least 3 times a week. I got tired of it and spent 120 dollars on a pair of Marathon Supreme and I’m going on four months with no flats. From time to time I’m riding over glass just for the fun of it
Thank you, I’m in love with your product.
You’ve got a cyclist for life.

The person who posted below “contacted Schwalbe last week and was told that there was no difference between the 2008 and 2009 Marathon Supreme. However, I see now on the website that they claim “For 2009 we have completely revised our : HD Ceramic Guard, Triple Nano Compound, LiteSkin side wall. The Marathon Supreme is now even lighter and faster.”

Can you confirm if there is really any difference between the 2009 and 2008 in this size? If there are differences, then I will want to make sure that I am getting the 2009 version when I purchase from a retailer. - Best Regards Bill

Hello there, when is marathon going to be back in stock?
do you have any tubless tire +/- similar to marathon in terms of size, speed and patern?? otherwise, do you have any suggestion? many thanks. (Tony)

Any idea when they’ll be back in stock?

I am waiting delivery on a matched pair of Marathon Supremes and was wondering if the tires have direction arrows and/or does it make any difference. Thanks for any mounting info.

Marathon Supreme HS 382

11652483 50-622 28 x 2.00

When will these be available here?

I manage stock at a local bicycle retailer. We already sell tonnes of Schwalbe tires. I would stock and sell many more of the Supremes if there were narrower sizing for it, perhaps 700x28c and 700x25c as well as 26x1.00”.

I just recently changed to Marathon Supremes in place of the OEM 700X45 Specialized Burrough CX Pro. My main reason for choosing the Schwalbe puncture resistant lines, were that I get a lot of flats.

First impressions are mixed, but largely positive.

I run them at the max recommended 85 PSI.

They are on a 622X18 Alex rim, and measure 2194, in circumference, under load, (for those interested in speedo setting numbers.)They actually measure 40cm wide, mounted on this rim.

They have been run primarily on MUP’s and surface streets.

I mounted them with only my fingers, without incident. I also installed new Schwalbe tubes and rim protectors, the 20cm strip filling the rim bottom perfectly, wall to wall.

After mounting, they definitely vibrate crossing the garage floor, as they cross the tread pattern; but, this completely disappears once loaded. I never felt it once, while riding.

While they “feel” a little slower, the normal average time to go from point A, to point B, hasn’t changed (a 42 mile loop.)

The rubber compound “feels” hard to the touch, but proves to be very compliant in the corners, and rides very smooth.

They are much more surefooted, especially in the corners. Both wide and short turns are much better.

They are very quiet, and smooth running, and feel very good under me.

Their very round profile, and the fact that the tread design wraps right around the sides of the casing sure helps them make very smooth transitions, along with the excellent cornering. No “slippery” feelings in the corners, at all.

They ride much smoother than the OEM’s inflated to the same pressure. They roll very well.

The tread depth is deeper than it appears in print, or on websites.

The reflex sidewall strip, is very reflective……

I realize that 100 miles isn’t a lot to make a determination, but, the first impressions on this one are very good! Very rider friendly.

I normally average a flat about every 100-125 miles, considering their use, (MUP’s are very flat inducing,) and nothing yet! - Time will tell, if they will really make the “big” difference to me.

So far, I really like them, and would recommend them to others.

I would also buy this tire in a heartbeat if it came in a 28mm tire.

Thanks!

I contacted Schwalbe last week and was told that there was no difference between the 2008 and 2009 Marathon Supreme. However, I see now on the website that they claim “For 2009 we have completely revised our : HD Ceramic Guard, Triple
Nano Compound, LiteSkin side wall. The Marathon Supreme is now even lighter and faster.”

I’m looking for the 26x2.0 size and I found a dealer with a pair left in inventory but I’m believe it is old stock (2008). So I was concerned about the differences. According to the person I spoke with, Schwalbe is currently out of this size and not expecting a new shipment until late September. Can you confirm if there is really any difference between the 2009 and 2008 in this size? Any more details on the differences?

Thanks!

How often do you all make a production run? Need to know about when you’ll have the 40’s back in stock as I can not find a dealer who carries the Marathon’s that wide. I’m a tandem rider and have a heck of a time finding tires. Thanks.

Is the Marathon supreme no.11650483 700 x 40C compatible with the Velocity Deep V’s, 19mm wide? What tire pressure would be best for a rim this narrow?

Will it be November before any more of this size show up?

will there be a 20 x 1 1/8 version?

Anyone could comment offroad performance of this tire? Light offroad, fire roads and uphill are ones im interested in…
