The Bentley models are built with a rugged steel frame for durability, making them ideal for heavier users or those with high tone/agitation. The LT features a lightweight aluminium frame, offering enhanced mobility while maintaining tilt functionality. Both models ensure that users can keep their feet on the ground while tilting, thanks to the no knee-rise tilt feature.
For enhanced user control and comfort, the Bentley LT-R features a reverse wheel layout, providing improved self-propulsion and better manoeuvrability. This model suits users requiring a super-low seat-to-floor height for foot propulsion.
All models offer adjustable wheel locations, a short wheelbase for superior manoeuvrability, and various options like power tilt, manual dynamic recline, and transit tie-downs for safety.
Key Features
- 20° manual tilt with no knee rise, ideal for foot and hand propulsion
- Rugged steel frame (Bentley) for heavy-duty use or lightweight aluminium frame (Bentley LT) for better mobility
- Short wheelbase for superior manoeuvrability
- Adjustable axle position to move the centre of gravity
- Adjustable seat height, seat depth, and back angle for a customisable fit
- Backrest shock absorbers for added comfort (not available on Bentley LT)
- Available Options: Transit tie-downs, 30° dynamic recline, power tilt, and easy-out front rigging
The Bentley LT-R offers a reverse wheel layout for superior self-propulsion, providing the ideal solution for users seeking both tilt and exceptional manoeuvrability.
