Multi-Coloured Loopwheels Classics

The Multi-Coloured Loopwheels Classics are guaranteed to turn heads. You can personalise each of the blades with your pick from seven colours, for a funky look. The Loopwheels have in-built suspension to reduce harmful vibration and provide a comfortable ride.

Product Description

What Loopwheels Are

A Loopwheel is a wheel with integral suspension - it reduces vibration, increases performance, and provides you with greater comfort. The carbon springs absorb vibrations and bumps, are strong and durable, and are designed for everyday use. The three loops in each wheel act as a self-correcting system, constantly adjusting to uneven terrain; in effect the hub floats within the rim. The springs also give you a practical advantage of helping to get up kerbs.

They don't run quite as true as a standard spoked wheel, and you will notice some sideways movement, particularly in the Classics. Loopwheels are different to standard spoked wheels - you will feel a difference to them as a result of their flexibility. While there is a trade-off in rigidity, you will also notice a massive increase in comfort.

Designed and made in the UK, the Loopwheel springs are made from a carbon composite material. Carefully developed and tested, they give optimum compression and lateral stability, as well as strength and resilience. Each Loopwheel is crafted by hand in Nottinghamshire.

They will fit most manual wheelchairs that use standard quick release axles. Designed for adults, those under 50 kg won't feel so much benefit from the suspension - the softer springed Loopwheels Urban would be worth trying instead.

Loopwheels Classics

The Classics are the original Loopwheels. They offer the best value and everyday comfort and vibration protection. They offer 60.9% vibration reduction (compared to a Spinergy Day wheel).

What they come with

The Multi-Coloured Loopwheels Classics allow you to completely personalise your wheels to match your wheelchair and style. Each of the six carbon blades can be individually coloured in your choice of blue, green, purple, orange, red, white and black.

As standard they come as a pair of wheels in either 24" or 25".

The wheels can be supplied fitted with a range of handrim and tyres options at an additional charge. This includes Carbolife's Curve and popular Gekko handrims.

Our Verdict

There is increasing concern about the long-term damage done by vibrations through using a wheelchair, and Loopwheels are a great way of protecting yourself from this. They also provide a much smoother ride than standard wheels, massively increasing your comfort.

The Multi-Coloured Loopwheels Classics are more expensive than the standard Black or Coloured ones, but allow you to go wild with colour combinations. Our favourite is the "Harlqeuin" style in the first picture. For further vibration reduction, consider the Loopwheels Urban, which also have more lateral stiffness and are lighter, and for off-roading (particularly with a handbike attachment) the Loopwheels Extreme are the ones to pick.

There are other options for reducing vibration - Frogs Legs castor forks are well-known in the industry, but do tend to make your wheelchair front-heavy. Titanium framed wheelchairs do also help to reduce vibration, but don't have the same suspension, and it does limit your choice of wheelchair. Ki Mobility's Ethos has a new suspension system that reduces vibration and smooths out your ride - this is worth considering if you are looking to get a new wheelchair.
