RGA adapted their successful Tiga model to produce this folding travel version losing none of the features of the standard it's versatility and portability is proving to be another winner.

Our Verdict
The RGK Tiga is all about lightweight portability. It's great practical travel companion which doesn't compromise on stability or rigidity thanks to the Q-fold system. For an even lighter comparable wheelchair consider the Octane FX. It's made of titanium hence the ultra-lightweight frame and has all the features of the Tiga FX, which is reflected in the price. You might also consider the Kuschall Champion 2.0. Its unique horizontal folding mechanism results in one of the smallest possible active wheelchairs, yet retains all the driving performance of a rigid chair.
