How to select the pushrim for my personal needs?

logo

For your personal needs, you should consider:

Grip ability: Tetraplegic or low-grip users benefit from ergonomic shapes with wider contact surfaces and anti-slip coatings (e.g., silicone inserts).
Environment: Off-road driving requires higher rim clearance, whereas contact sports demand heavy-duty, impact-resistant steel.
Material & Weight: Choose aluminium or magnesium for lightweight daily mobility, titanium for top durability and all-weather grip, or steel for maximum impact resistance.
