Product Overview

Titanium Wheelchair Handrims provide an optimal combination of ultra-lightweight performance and extreme durability for active manual wheelchair users. Unlike traditional aluminum or painted options, titanium is highly resilient against the constant dings, scratches, and everyday wear and tear that occurs during intense daily use.

Key Performance Benefits

• High Durability: The rugged titanium surface does not chip, flake, or wear down like anodized coatings, maintaining a clean look over years of use.

• Thermal Insulation: Titanium handles friction better than standard metals, minimizing rapid heat build-up against your hands during fast braking or downhill descents.

• Easy Maintenance: Minor surface blemishes, rough burrs, or scratches can be easily buffed out using a simple abrasive pad to quickly restore the original satin look.

Standard 6-Tab Mounting Configuration

These premium handrims are engineered exclusively in a 6-tab configuration. The sturdy, permanently welded metal tabs ensure a tight, rattle-free fitment directly onto your wheel rim. This specialized 6-tab design provides maximum structural integrity and wide compatibility with high-performance daily and sports wheel setups.

Mounted In vs. Mounted Out Flexibility

Depending on your driving preferences and hand size, these handrims offer two distinct setup orientations using the same 6 tabs:

• Mounted In (Close Mount): Attaching the tabs to the inside connection points brings the handrim closer to the tire. This creates a narrower total wheelchair width, making it much easier to navigate through tight doorways and confined indoor spaces.

• Mounted Out (Wide Mount): Attaching the tabs to the outside connection points pushes the handrim further away from the tire. This positioning significantly increases your thumb spacing and provides a larger, more ergonomic gripping area if you require extra clearance.
