Extreme Duty 17 inch Polyurethane Railroad Wheel
Introducing the all-new XD17 “Extreme Duty” 17 inch RailRider™ wheel. This patent-pending wheel is the culmination of multiple years’ worth of engineering and real world testing.
Our original 17 inch RailRider™ wheel has been incredible for many customers over the course of many years but for certain applications it could be better.
The XD17 is the ultimate evolution of the original 17 inch RailRider™ wheel. Engineered for the demands of commercial tour operators and rail industry professionals who demand the most from their equipment. The XD17 has the highest available payload and lowest possible rolling resistance of any railbike wheel currently available on the market. **
