The design of two new resilient band suspension systems are compared to show that one system is potentially superior over the other. The first design is loop-wheel, developed for use on off-road military vehicles. The second design is track wheel, partially developed for use on wheelchairs. Full scale loopwheel models have demonstrated that a resilient band suspension provides much improved soft soil traction over a wheeled vehicle. Major deficiencies of this design are a high rolling resistance and a tendency to throw the band at the sprockets. These problems are not expected in a track wheel with a spring track. Moreover, a close comparison shows that track wheel has four major advantages over loopwheel; simple design (lower cost), carries more load, greater stability and lower rolling resistance.
