FAQ
How to select the pushrim for my wheelchair?
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.

Why should I choose an ultralight aluminium pushrim for my active wheelchair?
An ultralight aluminium pushrim weighing just 211 g (in size 24″) drastically minimizes the rotational mass of your rear wheels. Because rotating weight requires significantly more kinetic energy to accelerate and brake than static frame weight, shaving grams directly at the handrim translates into quicker acceleration, reduced shoulder fatigue, and an effortless, responsive roll throughout the day.
What finishes are available, and how do they perform against daily wear?
Omobic aluminium pushrims come in two distinct finishes:
-
Classic Anodized Silver: A timeless, clean look that provides excellent resistance to micro-scratches and maintains a smooth glide surface.
-
Sleek Anodized Black: A modern, low-profile aesthetic treated with a hardened oxide layer that prevents corrosion, chipping, and color degradation from UV exposure.
