Unrivalled performance
Only the best materials are used in your Tiga. The aerospace grade aluminium used to build a Tiga is famous for its strength, durability and is synonymous with lightness. The Tiga features perfect toe in toe out for minimum drag, a lightweight frame for pushing efficiency. A staggering 19 quality checks throughout the build from measure to handover ensure that each chair is perfectly made.
Made to measure
Over 30 individual measurements are taken of the user, to ensure the Tiga fits their individual requirements. The aim is to have the user and wheelchair work in complete unison, which reduces the amount of energy needed to propel. A wide range of ergonomic options are available to provide optimum comfort, balance and posture.
