At the recent Harness Racing Australia Gear and Equipment Committee meeting, the LZR VX7 sulky wheel (black colour only) was approved for use in racing events conducted in Australia – effective 1 November 2017.
In accord with the HRA Sulky Wheel Standard and approval process, the sulky wheel has been tested for strength, durability and performance. The testing was performed by Human Impact Engineering, while Stewards from Harness Racing Victoria oversaw the sulky wheel performance under trial conditions.
The sulky wheel conforms to all of the requirements of the HRA Sulky Wheel Approval Policy and meets the HRA Standards.
