When it comes to choosing the best wheels for riding on sand, there are several options that can be considered depending on the specific application. Here are some of the commonly recommended options:
-
Wide Tire Wheels: Wide tire wheels provide better flotation and reduce sinking in the sand. They distribute the weight over a larger area, which helps with traction and stability. Wheels with wide plastic tires are often preferred.
-
Low pressure pneumatic wheels: Pneumatic wheels with lower air pressure are also effective on sand. They can adapt to uneven surfaces, provide good traction and avoid excessive sinking in the sand.
-
Wheels with specific profile: Some manufacturers, like DUNEMER, offer wheels specially designed for use on sand. These wheels can have specific treads or adapted profiles to improve traction and reduce sinking. Look for wheels with grooves, lugs, or tread patterns that promote better grip on the sand.
-
Corrosion resistant materials: Coastal environments can be corrosive, so it is recommended to choose wheels made with corrosion resistant materials, such as DUNEMER wheels which are made of resistant plastic and have stainless screws.
When choosing the best wheels for sand riding, it's important to consider the specific features of your vehicle, the weight it will need to support, and the beach conditions where you plan to ride.
