Newton UltraCasters are Motion Composites' Soft-Roll front caster wheels, built for lower rolling resistance. Each one is sold on its own.
Built for real life
What stands out
●
Built to roll easily
Motion Composites engineered the UltraCaster for reduced rolling resistance, which shows up as less effort per push.
●
Two hub materials
A composite hub, or a 6061 T6 aluminum hub.
●
Three diameters
4", 5" and 6", each 1.5" wide. The composite hub is sold here in 5" and 6".
●
A standard bearing
The wheel runs on 608-2RS bearings, 8 x 22 x 7 mm.
The Hieline Take
Front casters decide how a chair feels over cracks, thresholds and rough pavement, and they are a wear part. The UltraCaster is Motion Composites' upgrade wheel: 1.5" wide with a soft tread, which the company engineered for lower rolling resistance. The composite version keeps the cost down. The aluminum version uses a 6061 T6 hub. Diameter is the choice that matters. A smaller wheel turns more easily and clears your feet, and a larger one rolls over obstacles with less effort. The wheel has to match the fork on your chair, so order the diameter you have now unless you are changing forks as well. Each wheel is sold on its own, so order two for a pair.
Straight talk
Is it right for you?
A good fit if you
need to replace worn front casters on a Motion Composites chair
want a wider, softer front caster than the standard 1" wheel
know the caster diameter your fork takes
Look elsewhere if you
want to change caster diameter without changing the fork
have a Veloce monoarm fork and want a 6" wheel
want to fit it to a chair that is not a Motion Composites

The Newton UltraCaster Front Caster Wheel is covered by Motion Composites' own limited warranty. The coverage we have on record is below.
Components1 year against defects in materials and workmanship, from the date of purchase
What Motion Composites doesRepairs or replaces the part
Not coveredNormal wear and tear, misuse, improper installation or maintenance, and changes made without Motion Composites' consent
The owner's manual is the full warranty
The owner's manual for this product has its own warranty section, and that section is the complete statement of what Motion Composites covers, for how long, and what falls outside the coverage. Read it before you file a claim. If anything on this page differs from the manual, go by the manual.
Parts and accessories cannot be returned. Check the size, the side and the chairs it fits on this page before you order. If it arrives damaged or defective, tell us within 48 hours of delivery and we will get it repaired or replaced at no cost to you.
If something goes wrong
Call us first at 1-855-HIELINE. We file the claim with Motion Composites for you and get the covered part sorted out rather than handing you a phone number.
Is the price for one or for a pair?
For one caster wheel. Order two for a pair.
Which diameter do I need?
The diameter your caster fork is built for, which is usually the size on the chair now. Motion Composites sells its forks by caster size, so a different diameter needs a different fork and changes the front seat height.
Composite or aluminum?
Both are 1.5" wide UltraCasters. The aluminum hub is machined from 6061 T6 aluminum and costs more. The composite hub is sold here in 5" and 6".
Does it come with the axle bolt and spacers?
No. Motion Composites lists the caster hardware as a separate part for each size. Reuse the hardware on your fork.
Does the 6" fit every chair?
No. Motion Composites' parts manual shows the 6" UltraCaster as not available with the Veloce monoarm fork.
What should I have ready when I order?
The serial number of your Motion Composites wheelchair. Motion Composites asks for it on every parts order. Send it to us with your order number after you check out, and we match the part to the way your chair was built.
Will it fit a wheelchair from another brand?
Motion Composites publishes the fit for its own wheelchairs only, so we cannot promise it on another brand. Check the dimensions on this page against your chair before you order.
What is the warranty?
Motion Composites warrants its components for 1 year from the date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship. Normal wear and tear is not covered.
Can I return it?
No. Parts and accessories cannot be returned, so check the size, the side and the fit before you order. If it arrives damaged or defective, tell us within 48 hours of delivery.
Is Hieline an authorized Motion Composites dealer?
Yes. Hieline is a Motion Composites dealer and orders Newton parts directly from Motion Composites, which makes them.
