MBL Tensio Heavy Duty

The MBL Tensio Heavy Duty wheel is a lightweight, robust and stylish everyday wheel with black PBO fibre spokes and a chrome silver hub. This Heavy Duty version features 24 spokes, compared to the 18 spokes of the standard version, making it extra strong and durable. Available in 24inch and 25inch sizes, the Tensio Heavy Duty is a great choice for all-round reliability and ease of use.

MBL Tensio wheels are manufactured using fibre Spokes made of ZYLON which is made by mixing a polymer called PBO (para phenylene benzobisoxazole), while forcing it through a spinning machine. A special twisting and coating procedure ensures the best possible utilisation and performance of the fibres mechanical properties. ZYLON¨ fibre is known today as one of the world’s strongest commercially available fibres and its’ tensile strength is about 10 times that of steel (a ZYLON¨ thread only 1 mm thick can hold an object weighing 450kg). The tensile strength is significantly higher than aramid fibres known under the brand names Kevlar and Twaron. ZYLON is also more impact-resistant than steel, making the Tensio wheel long lasting even in the most extreme environments.
