The Many Benefits of Titanium

Alongside the smooth ride, beauty, and lightness of titanium, the Octane Sub4's frame material is out of this world. Strong as steel but 45% lighter, titanium has the highest strength-to-weight ratio out of all the known metals. The Octane Sub4 is a breeze to push, wherever you go. It’s built to be durable, so you have peace of mind knowing you can take it anywhere.

  • Titanium will not rust and is very resistant to corrosion & salt water. It's perfect for adventures out and about.

  • The Octane Sub4's titanium frame has natural built-in shock absorption to soak up road vibrations, which means that it delivers a super-smooth and comfortable ride quality like none other.

  • A titanium frame like the Octane Sub4's has a far greater ability to bend without breaking, elongating by up to 25% compared to around 15% for steel and 8% for aluminum.

  • As strong as steel but 45% lighter, titanium has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of all known metals and is often used in aerospace applications.

Why Choose Made-to-Measure?

  • THE PERFECT FIT
    Over 30 individual measurements down to a 5mm (0.25") tolerance are taken, allowing a chair to be crafted that fits the rider like a prosthetic.
  • LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMPACT DIMENSIONS
    One of the ways to achieve the lightest wheelchair possible is to build that chair exactly to the rider's specifications. That means no excess material, adjustments, or dimensions.
  • ERGONOMIC OPTIONS
    A wide range of ergonomic options such as seats and backrests are available to provide optimum posture, balance, and comfort.
  • RGK GENIUS PROGRAM
    An RGK expert on made-to-measure manual wheelchairs, the RGK Genius will work with the rider, clinician, and provider to create the perfectly fitted chair.

"My made-to-measure sport and daily wheelchairs fit me perfectly. They're lightweight, comfortable, and easy to maneuver. I couldn't ask for anything better." – Abdi Jama, Wheelchair Basketball Paralympian
