Get Proven Benefits with Each Option:

Compared to Standard Handrims, the Research Evidence is Clear:
- The Natural-Fit reduces effort to grip to the rim by 16%.
- You can cover the same ground with less work and less fatigue.
- Multiply the effort saved on every push by 2000-3000 - that's the average number of times wheelchair users push on their handrim in a single day.
Gain the Benefit of a True Ergonomic Handrim.
Grab the Natural-Fit.
The Bottom-Line is that the Ergonomic Grip Matters. Every push. Every day.
The Natural-Fit uses the original, larger profile oval. It offers 80% more surface area for gripping than a standard handrim and weighs just 26 ounces.
The Natural-Fit LT uses a reduced weight, smaller profile oval. The LT is designed for those looking for a reduction in weight or a smaller gripping surface (for those with smaller hands). The LT is more than 25% lighter than the original Natural-Fit -- it weighs just 19 ounces (about 4 ounces more than a standard round-tube handrim).
Both the Natural-Fit and the LT Fit on Almost All Standard Wheels:
- 20", 22", 24", 25", & 26" standard spoke wheels.
- 6-point Mag wheels (all sizes).
- 7 and 8-point Mag wheels (24" only).
- Spinergy wheels and X-Core Wheels.
"Wow! My first push was terrific, and compared to my small round handrims from before, I can't believe the difference!"
