Tauwerk DELIGHT

Description

The Tauwerk® DELIGHT is anything but an ordinary wheelchair wheel. It pushes the boundaries of what is possible a little further towards perfection.

The aim of developing the Tauwerk wheels is to produce the lightest and most beautiful wheelchair wheels in the world - without compromise and "Made in Germany".

Every component has been revised and conventional technologies have been "rethought". The current DELIGHT is the next evolutionary stage to the still available DELIGHT "first edition".

The main feature of all Tauwerk wheels are the patented spokes made from high-strength synthetic fibres. In addition to being ultra-lightweight and extremely durable, they have a vibration-damping effect thanks to their braided structure and are also absolutely unique in design. The spokes are manufactured, finished and assembled by hand in Germany.

The extremely stiff rims were developed together with the Austrian carbon rim specialist Xentis®. The result of the development are carbon rims that are unparalleled in the wheelchair sector when it comes to design, reliability and low weight.

The beautifully shaped hubs - a further development of our "first edition" hubs - are made from a high-strength aluminium alloy and are blasted, anodised and laser-cut in Germany. The push rims are bolted axially to the rim at six points. The spacing can be adjusted to 7 mm or 14 mm using the corresponding spacers. This type of mounting results in a much more appealing, organic overall design than with the usual push rims. However, this variant also offers advantages in terms of strength, installation effort, push rim positioning and risk of injury compared to the mounting method with brackets.

High-quality chrome steel ball bearings from Enduro Bearings® are fitted as standard. The even higher quality ceramic bearings from the Danish ball bearing specialist CeramicSpeed® are available as an option. Ceramic bearings with their very hard and extremely wear-resistant rolling elements made of silicon nitride offer lower friction and an unrivalled service life compared to standard ball bearings.

A set of Tauwerk DELIGHT wheels weighs an extremely light 1030 g and always consists of a left and a right wheel. The rim, hub labelling and spoke pattern are symmetrical to each other and create a harmonious overall look. #itsaboutthedetails

The standard colour option for the Tauwerk DELIGHT is black (anodised aluminium parts). The hub and push rim mounts and spacers are optionally available in the anodised colours silver / red / green / blue / gold / orange available.
The cable spokes have the typical Tauwerk black/natural braiding pattern and black hard-anodised spoke ends.

If you have any special requests, such as a combination of different colours on one wheel, please contact us via our Contact form. We would be happy to discuss the possibilities with you!

The optionally available Tauwerk axis with matching pusher made of anodised aluminium in the hub colour and with the Tau logo is the icing on the wheel cake. The axle partially shown in the pictures is for illustrative purposes only and is not included in the scope of delivery of the wheel set.

The total price always refers to a wheel set consisting of a left and a right wheel.
