I was just wondering if anyone has any reviews of the new Marathon Dureme? I have to replace a Marathon XR and I'm considering the Dureme over the Extreme for a front tire in the 700x35 size. I'm still running an XR on the rear and and may change that eventually to an Extreme.

Thanks for any and all replies!

Bump.

Anybody?

I went Extreme (my first Schwalbe tire) instead of Dureme, as I was anticipating a trip along the Great Divide this summer. A few months in with the Extreme and I'm loving it, even on pavement. Love that 2 inch tire (esp. as an ex-roadie).

Sorry I got nothing on the Dureme...but this post does serve as another bump.

One preliminary review here:

Thanks Guys.

Neil, I did read that review and thought it was a very good one but I prefer a body of work more than one persons opinion even though It's an educated one.

Thanks again.

based on my experience with schwalbe, I would expect the tire to be exceptional.

I have used XR, big apples, marathon, and supremes. Loved them all, really.
