The Wheelchair Tyre Benchmark
Schwalbe Smart Guard protection belt is made from a proportion of recycled natural rubber. The “anti-ageing“ sidewall construction can withstand typical overloading caused by low inflation pressure for much longer.
Flat-Less (Unplattbar)
Exclusively from Schwalbe. Only tyres with SmartGuard® puncture protection can rightly call themselves “unplattbar” or “flat-less”. The safest choice for Wheelchairs. The flat-less puncture protection even protects against thumb tacks
SmartGuard®
The most effective protection belt for Wheelchairs. 5 mm of highly elastic special rubber. Exclusively from Schwalbe. Partly obtained from recycled material.
2Grip
Tyres gentle on the hands. The sidewall is completely smooth. The tyres glide gently past the hands. This is patent-protected and standard for all Schwalbe Wheelchair tyres
Black’n’Roll
Special rubber compound for Wheelchairs. Leaves no unsightly marks on indoor floors and lasts much longer than a normal Grey Wheelchair tyre compound.

What are the requirements for a Wheelchair tyre for everyday use?
Wheelchair tyres for everyday use are subject to a wide range of requirements. They must be able to withstand permanent loads while guaranteeing a comfortable ride. They should be pleasant to grip and easy on the hands, while still offering the best grip. Wheelchair tyres need to be particularly puncture-resistant without rolling sluggishly. They must perfectly translate braking forces while remaining maneuverable. Schwalbe wheelchair tyres have been developed precisely according to these parameters and offer the best support in everyday use.
The Schwalbe Marathon Plus is not Schwalbe’s best-selling model for nothing – Flat-less thanks to a 5mm thick SmartGuard puncture protection layer and with anti-aging sidewalls, which also tolerates loads due to low air pressure without permanent damage or cracking, the Schwalbe Marathon Plus is also the maximum load rated wheelchair tyre. In addition, it offers a pleasantly low rolling resistance and scores in the area of sustainability with the use of recycled rubber in the SmartGuard layer.
