Disigned for Expedition. See the tread and it is immediately recognizable that this tire is designed for expedition and rough terrain use. But only by riding can the easy rolling ability of the Marathon Extreme be experienced. The light, yet at the same time, solid construction is made possible by the all-around SnakeSkin fabric layer. The High Density belt protects against punctures. Additionally the tire uses the latest compound. Triple Nano Compound ensures safe grip on wet roads, low rolling resistance and remarkable durability.
