Built for resilience
Built with T700 high tensile strength carbon fibre frames, the Apex C can support up to 120 kg while only weighing 4.4 kg and withstand extreme temperatures. The carbon fibre frames effectively dampen vibrations when you travel over bumpy grounds, improving your experience when you journey with the Apex C.
The front frames are protected with integrated guards to prevent scratches over time. The high friction grips also help with transfers and protect vulnerable areas of the body.
Comfort and agility
As each user is unique, the Apex C can be configured to optimise comfort for different individuals. The Apex C comes with fully modular seats, with adjustable back angles, seat-to-floor height and rear wheel position. There are laser-etched markings for users to make precise and easy adjustments. Additionally, the built-in bubble levels comprise an accurately calibrated gauge to help users make fast and pin-point adjustments to their caster wheels.
The rigidiser bar is a distinct feature in the Apex model designed to reduce lateral movement and maximise stability while maintaining its reactivity. To optimise ride performance, the patented modular system reinforces rear frame stiffness which creates an effective propulsion.
Drawing a distinctive feature among many other carbon fibre wheelchairs, the Apex C allows users to attach different powered add-ons to reduce fatigue during long journeys or travel fast.
Style
The Apex C is meticulously designed to comprise a modern and sleek design. Choose from a range of colours including carbon, white, steel blue, Ferrari red, pink pearl, and monster green. Different parts of the Apex C such as the hand rims, frames and impact guard can be individually customised to create different combination colours on the Apex C.
