A Loop wheel is a wheel with integral suspension, designed for better shock-absorbing performance and greater comfort. Loop wheels give you a smoother ride. They are more comfortable than standard wheels: the carbon springs absorb tiring vibration, as well as bumps and shocks. They’re extremely strong and durable. Loop wheel springs are made from a composite material, carefully developed 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 adjust 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.
