- Optimal Power Transmission: A suitable handrim enables efficient transfer of arm strength to the wheels, making the wheelchair easy to maneuver and precise – whether on flat ground or inclines.
- Comfort and Hand Protection: Ergonomic shapes and skin-friendly materials reduce strain on hands and joints. This prevents pressure points and ensures a comfortable ride, even with prolonged use.
- Safety and Control: Grippy surfaces, whether due to material choice or special coatings, ensure a secure grip and full control over the wheelchair, even in wet or winter conditions.
