Loopwheels are designed to help you push over uneven streets, cobbles, grass, rough tracks and gravel paths, with less effort.
Loopwheel springs are made from a carbon composite material,
carefully developed and tested to give optimum compression and
lateral stability as well as strength and durability.
Specially-designed connectors attach the springs to the hub and rim.
The three loops in each wheel work together as a self-correcting system. This spring system between the hub and the rim of the wheel provides suspension that constantly adjusts to uneven terrain, cushioning the rider from bumps and potholes in the road.
In effect, the hub floats within the rim, adjusting constantly as shocks from an uneven road hit the rim of the wheel. The spring configuration allows the torque to be transferred smoothly between the hub and the rim.

Poppy Jones and her Dad Rob –
On 26th June 2016 Poppy Jones and her dad Rob took part in the Cardiff Triathlon together to raise money for Cerebra. They faced an additional challenge – eleven year old Poppy has cerebral palsy and Rob pushed/pulled her around the course using custom made equipment specially designed by the Cerebra Innovation Centre – using Loopwheels!
Cerebra funds research into the problems arising from brain injury and disability in infants, offers services that include a postal lending grant scheme, library, regional officers and sleep practitioners. The Charity also provides a holiday home to Cerebra members. The Cerebra Innovation Centre helps parents and carers access specialist equipment that is not readily available elsewhere. Living with neurological conditions can make life very hard, not just for the child, but for their family too. The people at Cerebra, with the help of our supporters, aim to make it easier.
Chris Morton, Reading –
I did indeed get out on the weekend, in fact, I managed 21 miles the weekend before last and then another 30 odd miles weekend just gone with the armbike. I love going out on adventures!
Everytime I’ve been out I used the loopwheels. Excursions like this are exactly why I chose these wheels as they provide much needed suspension. Even on road surfaces that look at first glance to be flat, always have their fair share of potholes and bumps that get soaked up by the wheels.
