New Schwalbe Marathon GT/365
I just took a look at the Schwalbe website, and I'm seeing a whole bunch of new tires, including
Marathon GT
Marathon GT 365
Marathon Cross
as well as e-bike specific offerings.
Supremes are now advertised as "Tubeless Easy".
I've been thinking of replacing my aging supremes with something that looks a little more cross-appropriate, I was thinking of Hurricanes, but that GT 365 looks pretty cool too.
Schwalbe seems to have removed the weight column from their online spec tables. The Marathon GT/365 (as well as the Hurricanes) are wire-bead, anybody know (or want to speculate) how heavy they are?
[EDIT] I found the weights in the dropdown, GT/365 40-622 weighs 850g, regular GT in the same size is 870g, and 50-622 is 1100g!! (Supreme 50-622 is almost half that at 640g)

I was hoping they'd add more tires named "Marathon". The old line just wasn't hard enough to keep straight.

Not only that, but marathons have nothing to do with cycling. Call it a century or something. Riding a marathon distance is really no big deal.
