This design is for a shock absorbing wheel which reduces the amount of shock when the wheel rotates on various surfaces including mountains and gravels. By installing a shock absorber on the wheel itself, it enables a smooth and easy glide for the riders. While regular wheels, which directly pass the shock onto the rider, result in secondary and tertiary impacts accumulating stress (exhaustion) for the rider, the new design not only cuts down on the impact but also enables multiple shock absorber installation and presents the rider with a pleasurable ride.
