That brings clear advantages in comfort as well as more control in critical situations and poor road/trail conditions. If you are just looking for a tire, that works trouble-free every day, Marathon Plus is the best choice.
What does tubeless easy mean?
Tubeless Ready

What is a clincher TYRE?
Clincher tyres are found on the majority of road bikes. These tyres have a horse-shoe shaped profile, which “clinchers” to the rim when the tyre is inflated. The bead of the tyre is held onto the hooked profile of the wheel rim, by the pressure of the air within the tyre.

What is the rolling resistance of the marathon plus?
Puncture Resistance Test Results. Rolling resistance of the Marathon Plus is 20% higher. In an ideal world, puncture resistance should be 20% higher as well. Unfortunately, this isn’t true, in the raw puncture test, which measures the force required to puncture the tire.
