The Shark Wheel is one of the most innovative and technology advanced wheel on the market right now. It has been designed by a company Shark Wheel LLC in Lake Forest, CA by David Patrick. The wheel has been literally re-invented.
The Shark Wheel is flat on six sides and has many performance advantages when you compare this wheel with a traditional wheel. The wheels appear to be square, but roll smoothly like conventional wheels.
Why the name Shark Wheel? Well, the wheel has a nearly identical shape of the shark’s jaw. When the wheel is in motion, it appears to be a rolling cube, but when you ride it it feels perfectly circular.
Because of the design, the thinner contact patch from the three strips gives a faster ride, less rolling resistance while cutting a path through dirt.
