| Inner Tube | Conti Tour 28 (170 gr butyl) | Conti Tour 28 (170 gr butyl) |
| Spin Up Video | YouTube | No Video |
| Rolling Resistance 90 PSI / 6 Bar |
23.4 Watts CRR: 0.00701 | No Data |
| Rolling Resistance 75 PSI / 5 Bar |
24.5 Watts CRR: 0.00734 | 29.0 Watts CRR: 0.00869 |
| Rolling Resistance 60 PSI / 4 Bar |
26.7 Watts CRR: 0.00800 | 32.4 Watts CRR: 0.00971 |

Puncture Resistance Test Results
| Puncture Resistance Test Results (higher is better) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Model | Marathon Mondial Evo | Randonneur |
| Puncture Resistance Tread | 14 Points | 21 Points |
| Puncture Resistance Side | 6 Points | 4 Points |
| Puncture Factor Tread* | 85 Points | 120 Points |
| Puncture Factor Side* | 7 Points | 4 Points |
| * Puncture Factor = Puncture Resistance * Total Tire Thickness. Puncture Factor provides a more realistic puncture resistance score for touring tires. |
