What makes Frog Legs EPIC Soft Roll wheels different?

- Wide Sloping Sidewall Tyre: Our arced tread design ensures the area contacting the ground is spherical. A ball-shaped tyre will pivot and roll much easier than a straight edge that gets caught. The extra girth distributes the downward pressure so the wheel maintains higher floatation and does not sink into carpet and other surfaces.

- Custom High Resilient Urethane Tread: Other "polyurethane" treads contain recycled material or are infused with water creating a "foam". Frog Legs treads are spun-cast from virgin base chemicals. Use of recycled materials results in harder tread with minimal rebound. A foam contains microscopic air bubbles which absorb moisture. Moisture can increase weight up to 25% and reduce rolling efficiency significantly.

- Highly Resilient: Like a super ball our tread bounces back when compressed to minimize energy loss and absorb vibration.

- Clean, Quiet & Smooth: EPIC solid urethane will not absorb water so there is no dirty water tracked inside. The high-resilient material eliminates the "ticking" sound from tile.
