Each wheelchair user has their own ideas regarding the wheelchair type and accessories that
are correct for him / her, as well as the position in the wheelchair and the handling character-
istics. Therefore, the Avantgarde wheelchair for active use offers many options that permit the
wheelchair to be adapted according to your requirements. We recommend consulting your dealer
or therapist to determine the correct wheelchair settings for you.
Special features of the Avantgarde Ti 8�9 /Ti Ultra
