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 

The Black Loopwheels 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). 

As you would expect from the name, the Black Classics come in black! They can be personalised with a choice of logo colours to match the style of the wheelchair. 

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.

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 Black Loopwheels Classics are the most affordable way to get a pair of Loopwheels. If you are looking for a bit more personalisation, consider the 

 ones. For further vibration reduction, consider the 

, which also have more lateral stiffness and are lighter, and for off-roading (particularly with a handbike attachment) the 

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 

 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.

Black Loopwheels Classics

Loopwheels pioneered shock-absorbing wheels with integral suspension. The carbon springs absorb tiring vibration, shocks and bumps and can be fitted to almost every wheelchair. The Classics are the most affordable way to get a pair of Loopwheels.
