    City & Tour Tire Casings

    A bicycle tire casing comprises the fabric, bead, and puncture protective materials, all vulcanized together during the layup process.
    Providing the backbone or a bicycle tire, the casing has the largest impact in how a tire will preform.
    While puncture protection is important in all bicycle tires, it is in City & Tour applications that a flat would be detrimental to a early morning commute, buisness delivery, or weekend cruise.
    Schwalbe acknowledges this by attributing a easy to understand puncture protection rating to each City & Tour casing.

    From a rating of 7 (flat-less) down to 3 (great value kevlar protection), our City & Tour range comprises of offerings to meet the needs of every Cyclist at every price point.
    The attached video further describes the Schwalbe Tour & City Tire Puncture Protection scale.

    Only tires with SMARTGUARD® and SMART DUALGUARD can call themselves flat-less. You can never completely rule out a flat tire. Against the typical puncture gremlins such as glass shards or flint granules with the Marathon Plus however, you are very well protected. With all Marathon Plus tires it is necessary to use a pressure gauge to adjust the air pressure. Due to the special design a pressure test by thumb is not sufficient.
