I'm always on the lookout for a good on/off road tyre and like the look of Schwalbe's [url= http://www.schwalbetires.com/marathon_extreme ]Marathon Extreme[/url]. I was wondering whether anyone has tried this tyre. The quoted weight for a 26 x 2.0 is 570g, which is comparable with the Panaracer Razer XC PRs that I'm using but published tyre weights don't always match up in reality and I was wondering if anyone has a set and knows the real world weight.
Just put some on the girlfriends Long Haul Trucker - they seem a good bet for on/off road rough stuff type touring. Certainly lighter than the XRs we've used in the past. Didn't weigh them at the time but if I get a chance over the weekend I'll pop one off and get it on the scales.
I have used the 700cX35 version IIRC. Lovely tyre but I like Schwalbe tyres generally.
