RGK Elite X Basketball Wheelchair

The RGK Elite X Basketball Wheelchair represents a significant advancement in sports wheelchair design, combining cutting-edge materials and technology to enhance performance for elite athletes. Building upon the foundational features of the Elite model, the Elite X introduces several key upgrades aimed at maximizing responsiveness, comfort, and agility on the court.

Key Features:

• Carbon Fiber Axle: Replacing the traditional aluminum axle with a carbon fiber one results in substantial weight savings and increased stiffness. This upgrade enhances the chair’s rigidity, contributing to improved energy transfer and responsiveness during play. The axle’s clamped design allows for precise post-build adjustments to toe-in and toe-out settings, ensuring optimal handling characteristics.
• Tri-Frame Chassis Design: The Elite X features a triangular frame structure that effectively distributes energy across multiple sections of the chair. This design reduces the reliance on the axle alone, enhancing the chair’s durability and stability during dynamic movements on the court.
• Lightweight Construction: Utilizing aerospace-grade 7020 aluminum with A10 heat treatment, the frame achieves a balance between strength and weight. The standard configuration has a product weight starting from 8.7 kg (19.2 lbs), accommodating users up to 125 kg (275.5 lbs).
• Ergonomic Customization: A range of ergonomic backrest options and seat designs are available to support individual requirements for maximum comfort and balance. The seating position can be tailored to suit the athlete’s playing style, with options for taper seat, V-front, or asymmetrical frame designs to enhance responsiveness.
• Performance Enhancements: Standard features include high-precision ceramic bearings in rear wheels, castors, and frame components to minimize energy loss. Titanium fasteners and buckles are used throughout to reduce weight without compromising strength. These design elements collectively contribute to a more agile and efficient playing experience.

Specifications:

• User Classification: Suitable for players classified between 1.0 to 4.5.
• Player Level: Designed for intermediate to professional athletes.
• Frame Material: Premium 7020 aluminum with carbon fiber components.
