Motion Composites APEX C carbon rigid wheelchair
The Motion Composites APEX C is a rigid wheelchair with a frame made of T700 carbon fibre. A 16 x 16 in chair weighs 9.7 lb (4.08 kg) without rear wheels, and the lightest complete build comes to 17.2 lb. Unlike many carbon frames, its geometry stays adjustable: the centre of gravity moves through 6 in and the back angle from 80 to 101 degrees.
