FAQ
Who benefits most from Optimum ZF pushrims?
They are designed for wheelchair users with reduced hand strength. The broadened profile improves contact, minimizing the physical effort needed to push, steer, and brake.
How does Optimum ZF help users with tetraplegia?
The Optimum ZF features a specialized 1.5 mm high-friction coating that removes the need for a finger pinch grip, allowing safe maneuvering through simple palm contact.
What is the difference between Optimum Z and Optimum ZF pushrims?
Optimum Z is just black hard anodized handrim in ergonomic profile shape with ultra low weight. Optimum ZF features a specialized 1.5 mm anti-slip coating applied across the entire profile. This high-friction surface provides the extra grip required for wheelchair users with tetraplegia, allowing secure maneuvering with minimal finger squeezing.
How to select the best pushrim for me?
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.
