Loopwheels Extreme

Loopwheels Extreme are the latest model of suspension wheels for wheelchairs.They are perfect for users of wheelchair power attachment devices as you and your wheelchair will be travelling at higher speeds and therefore will feel every bump and vibration. The Loopwheels Extreme are light enough that they can be lifted easily in and out of the car and help minimise the chance of long term injury caused by on-going vibration. They look tremendous and have been designed in response to user feedback by the experts at Loopwheels. Weighing under 3lbs (1.33kg) per wheel, and removing much more vibration than any other brand of a wheel, it is the definitive wheel if you love travelling on tracks and off-road with a handbike or power. This 507 wheel takes a larger, MTB style tyre, to bring the whole wheel with tyre to 24″. This size is a standard juvenile MTB size so a wide choice of tyres are available from online suppliers and bike shops, as an alternative to the Marathon Plus MTB tyre we supply.
