An aluminium wheelchair whose armrests slide from desk length to full length at the push of a button. The back adjusts in angle and height, the seat depth runs 16" to 18", and it comes in seats from 16" to 22".
An aluminium wheelchair with a universal armrest that slides from desk length to full length at the push of a button and sets to eight heights. The back angle and height both adjust, the seat depth runs 16" to 18", and the dual axle drops the seat to hemi height. Seats 16" to 22".
What stands out
The universal armrest is the reason to look at this chair over a plain Viper. On most wheelchairs you pick desk length or full length when you order and live with it, and the wrong choice is the complaint we hear most: a desk arm that gives no forearm support to push up from, or a full arm that stops the chair reaching a table. This one slides between the two on a button, and it also sets to eight heights in half inch steps, which is the adjustment that decides whether shoulders sit level. Add an adjustable back angle and back height and a seat depth that moves from 16" to 18", and this is a chair that can be fitted to a rider after it arrives rather than only before. At about 35 lbs. in aluminium it is a reasonable weight to load with the wheels off. It comes in deep green and nothing else, and the back adjusts but does not recline.
Straight talk
Is it right for you?
A good fit if you
- want to switch between a desk arm and a full arm without buying two sets
- need the arm height, back height or back angle set to you rather than fixed
- weigh up to 300 lbs., or up to 350 lbs. in the 22" seat
- want an aluminium chair at around 35 lbs. with quick-release wheels
Look elsewhere if you
- weigh more than 350 lbs.
- need a seat wider than 22"
- want a colour other than deep green
- need a chair that reclines, because this back adjusts in angle but does not lie down
