I'm sure you've noticed the price difference. The key construction difference lies in the fact that the Marathon is a "Performance Line" tire and the Marathon Deluxe is an "Evolution Line" tire. That's the key difference to focus on. The Evolution Line uses better-quality materials, and should last longer.

Bike Touring in the USA only and Pacific Coast Route, Route 66, Southern Teir
