Topolino, Tatyana & Allison Tonight at the ESPYs

Good luck to Tatyana McFadden and Allison Jones at the ESPY Awards tonight! Both are nominated for the Outstanding Female Athlete with a Disability Award, and both ride Topolino wheels.

Tatyana McFadden is a 6x Paralympic and eight World Champion. She recently won five medals (four gold) at the 2011 IPC Athletics World Championships in New Zealand, and has won both the New York and Chicago Marathons. Tatyana rides the world's lightest everyday wheelchair wheel, the ultralight Topolino Carbon Core WX2.5 wheel.

Allison Jones captured the gold medal in both the individual time trial and the individual road race at the 2010 Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) Para-cycling Road World Championships. She is also a four-time Paralympian, having competed both in cycling and skiing. Allison rides the Topolino Carbon Core AX3.0 cycling wheel.

The 2011 ESPY Awards will air live on ESPN tonight at 9pm EST, and are hosted by Saturday Night Live's Seth Myers. Congratulations to both Tatyana and Allison, and good luck!

World's Lightest Wheelchair Wheels Now Available in RED!

Topolino Technology is pleased to announce that the world’s lightest wheelchair is now available with red accents! Since seeing the first red Carbon Core™ wheels earlier in the year at shows in Nashville, Los Angeles, and New York, users have been clamoring to know when they will be available. “Every show we’ve been to, the feedback has been fantastic. The red scheme lends a new dimension of color and really complements the carbon black look of our wheels,” says Rafe Schlanger, President and Founder of Topolino.

Dramatic Weight Savings
Like the original wheels, the new red wheels are the lightest wheelchair wheels available in the world - the next lightest wheels on the market are 23% heavier. “The weight savings is very noticeable, and the higher stiffness makes for an easy push,” says Domonic Corradin, owner of Extreme Abilities. “These new red wheels have all the technology and performance of our original yellow wheels, but now we can offer more choices, allowing Topolino users to further personalize their ride,” Schlanger adds.

Born from over 25 years of experience in advanced composite materials and design innovation, Topolino's Carbon Core™ wheelchair wheels are simply the lightest available for everyday use. Utilizing the same patented technology developed for their race-proven cycle wheels, the wheelchair wheels combine incredible strength and durability with astounding light weight and responsiveness. Nothing else even comes close!

Available all over the world and as an option on your favorite wheelchair frame, Topolino wheels come in 540 / 24” and 559 / 25” sizes. Call Topolino for more information, and
