4kg*. That’s a newborn baby. A 7 week old Labrador puppy. Your Octane Sub4.

Why choose made to measure?
- INDIVIDUAL MEASUREMENTS
Over 30 individual measurements are taken of the user for the wheelchair, so that it fits their individual requirements. - ERGONOMIC OPTIONS
A wide range of ergonomic options are available to provide optimum comfort, balance and posture. - LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMPACT
The lightest possible solution is achieved using individual measurements.
The effects
- OPTIMUM POSTURE
Sitting in the correct position can significantly reduce the risks of developing pressure related issues in the short and long term. Good health helps promote a more active lifestyle which in turn can positively impact a user’s well-being. - OPTIMUM COMFORT
Feeling comfortable increases confidence which helps the user to achieve an active lifestyle. The likelihood of developing prolonged discomfort, pain and persistent injuries are significantly reduced. - MAXIMISED PERFORMANCE
The user and wheelchair work in complete unison. This reduces the amount of energy needed to propel and in turn increases the wheelchair’s efficiency to maximize the user’s abilities.
Redesigned from the ground up
Only the best materials are used in your Octane Sub4. Titanium is famous for having all of the positives of aluminium with the additional bonus of a natural shock absorption by the material itself. The utmost best performance of your chair is ensured by only using elements produced by market leaders, alongside a staggering 19 quality checks throughout the build, from measure to handover.
