Omobic Haka rugby wheels

    Product March 10, 2022

    A success achieved in association with the Polish National Team of Wheelchair Rugby. Our HAKA rugby wheels are ready!

    Haka wheels – How did it start?

    The mission of MBL is “to improve the mobility and quality of life of people”. Thus, when we got involved with the Polish Association of Wheelchair Rugby, we were wondering how we could help to activate the players and support them even more to help them get even better in their sport. And they had the answer: “Manufacture the best wheels for us!”

    And this is what we have done!

    Thanks to being a technical sponsor of the Polish National Team of Wheelchair Rugby, we could observe the players while playing and talk with them about their needs. As a result of talks and numerous consultancies, the Omobic HAKA wheel for Wheelchair Rugby were designed. The wheels made for the players, in cooperation with the players! Today, the Haka wheels are used by the entire Polish National Team of Wheelchair Rugby, provided by MBL. We are glad that we could help!



    What distinguishes Omobic Haka Rugby wheels?

    The new generation of Omobic HAKA wheels are very resistant and maneurable!

    • 24 thickened carbon fibre spokes (D=3,7mm)
    • Pushrims – one of the strongest and the best on the market
    • Spokeguard – recommended by the players
    • Available in several fitting options – adjusted to rugby wheelchairs available at the market (1/2’’, 5/8’’, 25mm)
    • Available in 25’’ and 24’’

    Since there are two types of players in Wheelchair Rugby playing either defence or offence, two types of wheels are needed.

    • Haka Defence – for the defenders. Designed to give players more control over the wheelchair and therby prevent the counterpart to score goals. The Defence wheel is fitted with our Lizard pushrim which has a high degree of friction.

    • Haja Attack – for offensive players. Their construction is to prevent to catch the player who is riding with a ball towards the rugby goal. Thus, the wheels may not have any protruding elements that could be caught by the opponent to stop the offensive player.
