A non-pneumatic wheel is provided including a tubular member forming two split hubs (1, 2) attachable to an axle. Said two split hubs (1,2) are able to counter-rotate relative to each other. Said non-pneumatic wheel further comprises a number of interconnected and freely rotating between each- other caterpillar-like tiles (5) forming the outer periphery of the wheel, which are in contact with the ground during wheel operation. A plurality of connecting leaf springs (3, 4) mounted between the said tubular member and the outer tiles (5) in a circular circumferential direction and configured to connect the tubular member and the tile (5) bodies to each other. E ach leaf spring element (3, 4) is formed in a way to present a main curvature and a tail, in a way that the main curvature bends by the exertion of radial forces on the tiles of the wheel periphery and the tail deforms due to its contact with the adjacent spring and the counter-rotation of the two split hubs. The leaf springs (3, 4) mounted on the same tile (5), are mounted at relatively distant locations on the counter rotating split hubs (1, 2). The effect of counter rotation of the split hubs (1, 2) generates the development of forces in the leaf springs (3, 4) that initially rotate around their fixing rods, but then enter in contact through their tails, resulting to the generation of radial outwards forces exerted on the tiles (5), thus producing finally the increase of stiffness of the wheel.
