Skylite rear wheel 20″- 25″

All the Omobic rear wheels ending in “Lite” are the lightest wheels in the Omobic range. But they differ from each other in construction and application.

Omobic Skylite is one of the lightest wheels on the market. The weight of the raw wheel is only 960g. How did we manage to do it? We used a micro hub developed by Mogens (MBL founder) combined with an ultra-lightweight rim with a unique CNC milling method. But please be aware that the maximum load per wheel here is 40 kg. It fits best with the Gazelle tyre – weighing only 200g.

Omobic Daylite – the most popular lightweight wheel loved by wheelchair users and wheelchair manufacturers. Thin yet strong spokes, the special design of the DW4 rim and a lightweight hub make this component our best seller.

Omobic Smartlite – is just an economical, elegant version of a light rear wheel with a single-wall rim and the lightweight hub used also for Daylite.

Selecting a rear wheel for your wheelchair is not just a matter of design. Before you buy a wheel, you need to check a few dimensions to ensure you purchase a component that fits your needs. We explain how to do this in our blog article here.

Skylite wheels are designed for active manual wheelchair users who want lightweight performance, effortless pushing, and a sleek, modern design. They are ideal for everyday use and frequent travelers who want to move easily without extra weight holding them back.

A complete Skylite wheel weighs just 970 grams. It is built for users who know that every gram saved makes daily mobility easier and more energy-efficient.

The ultralight weight comes from two precision-engineered features:

• Custom micro hubs that reduce weight at the center of rotation.

• An ultralight aluminum rim precision-milled using a dedicated CNC manufacturing process.

How do Skylite wheels improve daily movement and travel?

At under 1 kg per wheel, Skylite delivers clear functional benefits:

• Less pushing effort: Requires less energy to start, accelerate, and maintain speed.

• Easier transport: Makes lifting, folding, and loading your wheelchair into cars or planes noticeably easier.

• Better responsiveness: Provides smooth handling and precise control on various surfaces.

Standard wheels often focus purely on basic function. Skylite combines advanced CNC engineering with a refined, premium aesthetic. It is built as a true design upgrade for high-end active wheelchairs, delivering both strength and style without compromise.
