    Abstract: The present invention relates to a shock absorbing wheel with shock absorbing properties, the wheel comprises a hub, arms and a rim. The hub comprises radial junctions between the arms and the hub, additionally the rim comprises radial junctions between the arms and the rim, wherein between the radial junctions of the hub and the rim the arms are arranged with a substantially sinusoidal shaped form. The arms further comprise a first, a second, a third and a fourth section, wherein in the first section, the arms extend from the radial junctions between the arms and the hub in a first radial direction A, and in the forth section, the arms extend from the radial junctions between the arms and the rim in a second radial direction B. The sinusoidal shaped form is arranged in the second and the third sections of the arms. The present invention is said to provide for a cost effective wheel with good shock absorbing properties.
