Brompton Schwalbe Marathon Racer 16 inch tyre - Tan Wall

The Schwalbe Marathon 16 x 1 1/3 inch tyre was originally introduced on the 2018 model Brompton and is the entry level of three tyres fitted as standard in the factory on the current Brompton folding bike range (as at end 2018 - along with Kojak and Marathon)

This version of the tyre is new for 2021 - a tan wall version with folding bead - originally available only on the Brompton Explore special edition bike

The Marathon Racer tan wall is made by Schwalbe in the 16 inch size specifically for Brompton - previously it was only available for larger wheeled bikes

Note: The tyre is directional - this means it is designed to run in one direction - so should be fitted accordingly. There is a direction indicator moulded into the side wall of the tyre, it is not always that easy to spot - we have added it to the video to try and help

Schwalbe Marathon Racer 16 x 1 1/3 inch tyre features / details:

  • ETRO size: 35-349
  • Tyre pressure - min: 65 psi / 4.5 bar
  • Tyre pressure - max: 110 psi / 7.5 bar
  • Weight: approx 230g (this compares to approx 270g for the wire bead standard Marathon Racer)
  • Tyre bead: Folding kevlar to help reduce weight
  • Directional: Yes - so the tyre needs to be fitted the correct way around
  • Colour: Black with tan walls

Inner tube: AV4 (Car type / Schrader valve)
Inner tube: SV4 (Presta / racing type valve)

Note: We always recommend using no tools to fit your new tyre (i.e. hands and fingers only) to your Brompton.
Using tyre levers often results in damage to the inner tube (pinching it when levering on the tyre) or to the tyre bead (trying to force the wire bead over the rim with brute force)
 
Installing without tyre levers may seem difficult (or impossible) at first - but, honestly,  it's just a matter of technique
The below video shows how to install a tyre without tools - in fact it's the even tougher Marathon plus - but the technique is exactly the same
 
 
In order to replace the tyre / tube you also need to remove the wheel (either front or rear) - the below videos show how it should be done.
