"Over the years of being in a wheelchair I’ve realised what is most important to me. It has to be super streamlined, it needs to fit me snugly and be elegant in its appearance. As an athlete, your body naturally changes and it's amazing to have the ability to fine tune my measurements to the millimeter. I wanted a more compact chair overall and because I travel so much, the Octane FX was the perfect choice."
"I didn't think I would be able to improve my seating position until I got into my new Octane FX. It fits me perfectly, and I feel so much more confident in myself. I never thought small changes would have such a big impact day to day. It's easier to push, lighter and now I can fold it up and take it everywhere! Plus it's so pretty... I honestly feel amazing in my Octane FX"

Titanium has a far greater durability compared to steel and aluminium. It also has a natural shock absorption to soak up road vibration and is very resistant to corrosion.
The mounting of the fold flat guides has been redesigned to be welded directly to the frame with lightweight titanium plates.
The Q-Lock design has been updated to greatly improve the strength, reliability and usability of the mechanism.
The titanium castor housing has been designed to be a sealed assembly, this prevents dirt or moisture interfering with the bearings.
Tension adjustable backrest and centre pad, including mesh cover panels, for better support and positioning with breathable material to keep you cool.
