I don't know if this has been discussed here .... but the Dureme is to be the "replacement" for the soon to be discontinued XR. http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/forum/board/message/?o=RrzKj&thread_id=139958&v=B&page=1&nested=0#140097 The Scwalbe global site already has the XR off the site. http://www.schwalbe.com/gbl/en/produkte/tour_city/produkt/?ID_Einsatzbereich=9&showAllProducts=true
The Dureme appears to be a Marathon Supreme with different thread .... the materials and construction are the same Evolution line,Double Defense(Snakeskin sidewalls). By doing this I suppose they can cut down on manufacturing cost. It weighs a whopping 245 grams less the XR(28x2.0)..... but of course there's no free lunch here...... it won't be as durable as the XR as there is just less sidewall protection and tread. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
