About this product

A titanium fixed frame day chair for the active client who is in the chair from morning to night and notices every kilogram at the car door. Titanium gives it a light, lively ride with a flex free feel, helped by an underframe that keeps the structure stiff without adding bulk.

Melrose build it around the client: camber and seat height are set to the individual and fixed, with back height and footplate height adjustable afterwards. That fixed geometry is deliberate, it keeps the chair light and predictable once the script is right, so the initial measure up matters.

The tension adjustable sling seat and back let you fine tune support, quick release wheels come off for transfers into the car, and there is a wide range of castor, brake and wheel choices to suit how and where your client pushes. The bead blast finish wears well.
