Traction Wheels

Aluminum Wheels (Product Page)

Aluminum wheels offer a lightweight, treaded wheel option that can withstand the high loads of FRC without breaking. They come with tapped holes for #10 bolts to be threaded in to secure the tread onto the wheel. Wheels are:

Sized for 1.5” wide tread
Broached for ½” hex
3.25”, 4” & 6" outer diameter
Swerve XS (3" Wheel, .875" Bearing Bore)
Swerve X (4" Wheel, 1.125" Bearing Bore)

Pneumatic Wheels act like high performance car tires and let your robot tackle almost any terrain with ease. Our Pneumatic Wheels are creatively designed in order to utilize the same hub for all sizes. This lets users swap between sizes by simply replacing the insert and the tire!

Pneumatic Rim & Adapter

The core ideology is to have one hub that can support both 6” and 8” tires. Depending on the game, teams are able to use either wheel size without having to purchase another hub. The hub with adapter supports any 200 x 50mm tire available on the market.

These tires have adjustable pneumatic suspension through the built in valve on the wheel, allowing teams to inflate the wheel to reach the desired hardness. Along with giving teams 3 different tread options to meet their needs
