HELIO C2
The HELIO C2 features revolutionary
components, an impeccable finish, and all
the advantages of carbon fiber. Every detail
improves performance and reduces weight
to lessen the energy required to propel. With
its advanced engineering, the HELIO C2 is
one of the lightest, most technologically
advanced wheelchairs in its category. The
chair capitalizes on carbon fiber’s vibration-damping characteristics that promote
client health and independence. An HD
configuration option adds minimal weight
to the frame. A patented symmetrical cross
brace enhances propulsion efficiency and
provides exceptional durability.

TiLite Pilot
The ultralightweight Pilot has built-in
forward growth adjustment while maintaining
optimal rear wheel access. This
gives kids the most efficient propulsion
possible without adjusting or relearning
push mechanics. The clean frame design
features a seat pan and side panels that
provide easy access to the adjustment bolts,
making changes simple and intuitive. Unlike
on other chairs, all of these adjustments can
be done without compromising access to the
rear wheels. The ultralightweight design and
carbon fiber frame panels make it 50-percent
lighter and a breeze for kids to navigate all
the adventures of their great big world.

Catalyst
The Catalyst line redefines the ultralightweight folding market by raising the bar
in weight, performance, durability, and
functionality. Catalyst users can count on
quality construction and durable design,
with unlimited options and configuration
possibilities. All Catalysts are constructed
of 7000-series aluminum and use a dual
cross-brace design to provide the best in
rigidity and ride performance. The Catalyst
line offers transport weights starting at 12.8
lbs. and is the first to offer a 300-lb. standard
weight capacity (with a heavy-duty capacity
of 350 lbs.) Available in seat widths of 14-22" and in seat depths of 14-20".

Elevation
The ultralightweight Elevation is suitable
for a wide range of users and allows them
to embrace daily activities. Unique features
such as gas strut suspension, ultra-lightweight
frame, dynamic/on-the-fly seat
height adjustment, and adjustable back
angle make the Elevation a highly adaptable
chair. The gas springs used in dynamic seat
height adjustment are selected and positioned
at the factory for the weight of the
user. Optional rigid-articulating side guards
allow for superior lift and stability when
in elevated seat positions. Users can easily
adjust their sitting posture to suit activities.

Ethos
Ethos is an ultralightweight rigid chair with a
dual-frame design and Isolation Technology
(ISO Tech). ISO Tech creates an incredibly
smooth ride experience, while protecting the
rider from the onslaught of high-frequency
vibration that would generally be experienced
in a standard wheelchair design.
Interchangeable ISO Tech polymers enable
tailoring of the ride experience through
varying densities so the ride can go from soft
and supple to stiff and rigid. The dual-frame
design elevates performance to rival that of a
dual-tube rigid, while providing adjustability
that no other rigid frame can provide.

APEX
The award-winning APEX ultralightweight
rigid wheelchair is available with an
aluminum or carbon fiber frame in seat
widths and depths from 12" to 20" (30.5 cm
to 50.8 cm). Dial in a precise fit for each user
and user lifestyle by choosing front and rear
seat-to-floor heights; camber (0°, 2°, 4°, 6°
or 8°); center of gravity; footrest angle (in 5°
increments); back angle (80° to 101°); armrest
height; and overall width. Design details
include an integrated guard and rigidizing
system. Laser-etched markings allow easier
adjustment of key components to specify
exact positioning.
