Improved rigidity and reduced weight

Make it your own with the Colour Accent package, featuring ultra-durable powder-coated highlights on components. Choose from a wide palette of colour combinations to create a chair that’s distinctly yours—at no extra cost.

The Catalyst Difference is in the details. With a redesigned axle plate and rear frame, you benefit from up to 2 inches of centre of gravity adjustment in precise ½-inch increments and 5 inches of rear seat height adjustment over seven positions. The result? A tailored fit that enhances comfort, propulsion efficiency, and ride quality.

The Adjustable Camber system allows for up to 4° of camber in 1-inch steps, while premium features like Swing-In Anti-Tips, fender side guards, and Transit Wheels are designed for daily practicality without compromising sleek aesthetics.

You can also choose between swing-away or fixed front frames, with patented lightweight footrests and four hanger bend options (60°, 70°, 80°, 90°). The exclusive Maxx Mag magnesium wheels offer improved rigidity and reduced weight for a high-performance finish.

Manual Wheelchair Maintenance

Maintain Peak Performance with Regular Servicing

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your wheelchair performing at its best. By following this simple checklist, you can extend the life of your wheelchair and ensure your safety and comfort.

Daily Checks
  • Ensure the wheelchair rolls without resistance.
  • Check for vibrations, unusual noises, or any changes you notice.
  • Confirm that the wheel locks are working correctly.
  • Check the tyres: low pressure, flat spots, or signs of wear.
  • Listen for irregular noises or rattles that may indicate loose components.

Weekly Checks
  • Use a tyre gauge to check the tyre pressure.
  • Check the tension of the seat upholstery.
    • It should maintain a straight angle when the wheelchair is open and positioned.

Tyre Pressure Adjustment
  • Tyre pressure adjustments with the appropriate tools.
  • Maintaining the correct pressure is crucial for smooth rolling and improved manoeuvrability.

Monthly Checks
  • Inspect the wheel alignment to ensure proper tracking.
  • Check the fork bearings to confirm they are moving freely without stiffness.
