Each year, the Loopwheels team looks forward to returning to Naidex: the UK’s largest accessibility, inclusion and disability exhibition.
2026 was slightly different for our team as we had not one, but two stands at the show! One for all things Loopwheels, and, a Pushrim Solutions stand, where we had lots of information and guidance about choosing the right pushrim.
This blog runs through all our key highlights from the two-day show – so even if you missed us, you can still catch everything we got up to!
The Loopwheels Stand
Wheels to try out on the test track
We always talk about the importance of trying Loopwheels first, as we know from our customers that Loopwheels can feel slightly unusual at first! That’s why we love the Naidex test track. Having the opportunity to try Loopwheels on your own chair over a range of different surfaces is a great way to get an initial idea of how they feel and the difference they can make from your current wheels. Over raised surfaces, through a doorway, and over different surface textures, the test track allowed people who visited us a chance to test out the shock absorption and vibration-reduction of Loopwheels.
Whilst the test track is great, we always recommend signing up for a 2-week trial, as over those two weeks you can really see how the wheels can benefit you personally over regular journeys, and to feel the day by day comfort and even some reduction in fatigue.
If you’re based in the UK, and are looking for another opportunity to try Loopwheels over outdoor terrain, all models of Loopwheels are going to be available to test as part of the Invictus Active Wheelchair Roadshow on April 18th, at Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham. You can register to attend until the 14th of April, 2026.
Colourful wheels on display
We had an amazing show, with a really busy stand on both days and lots of interest in our wheels, and the pushrims we offer also. Something which gained a lot of attention on our stand was the colourful wheels we had on display.
We had interesting conversations across the two days about colour choices. Some people told us that they loved the all-black wheels, and weren’t interested in colour options, whilst others told us that they wanted as much colour as they could get! These different opinions explain exactly why we offer different personalisation options. At the end of the day, it all comes down to personal preference.
In case you didn’t know, Loopwheels have 2 different options for customisation: Lacquered Springs and Anodised Parts. These options can be selected alone (e.g. anodised parts with standard black springs, or lacquered springs with standard black components) or can be combined!
Lots of Loopwheels retailers also attended the show!

The Pushrim Solutions Stand
Loopwheels is a UK distributor for a range of premium pushrim options. This is a really important part of Loopwheels, as we recognise the essential role that pushrims have in everyday comfort and movement for manual wheelchair users. That’s why, in 2026, we launched our newest resource: Pushrim Solutions.
Pushrim Solutions is designed to be a resource for anyone who is making a decision about the best pushrims to choose. Whether you’re choosing pushrims for yourself, supporting a family member with the decision, or if you are a professional who wants to learn more about the different options, Pushrim Solutions could have information to help make the right choice!
The feedback and number of visits to the Pushrim Solutions stand shows that this is important to you too, and we were excited to be able to demonstrate the CarboLife, Lignorim, and Tetra Equipment pushrim ranges at the show.
Pushrim Solutions is a new resource, which we are still adding to. Check out the Pushrim Solutions website today, and keep an eye out for more updates in the near future. We welcome your feedback!
