An upright, stand-up rollator with contoured padded armrests set between 46.5" and 51.5", so you walk with your back straight and your weight through your forearms rather than your wrists. Nova's Fold and Go mechanism folds it flat, the handle grips tilt to an angle you choose, and the backrest detaches. It runs on 10" front and 8" rear wheels.

What stands out

●
You lean on your forearms, not your hands
Contoured padded armrests carry your weight through the forearms and elbows, which takes the load off wrists and hands. That is the point of an upright rollator.
●
Fold and Go
Nova's folding mechanism on this frame drops it down flat rather than standing it up folded, which is what makes an upright rollator storable and travel-ready.
●
The handle grips tilt
The grip angle adjusts, so you can set the wrists to a neutral position rather than accepting whatever angle the frame gives you. No other Nova rollator does this.
●
Detachable padded backrest
The backrest comes off entirely, with a cable holder built in, which helps both when approaching the seat and when packing the folded frame.
●
10" front wheels
The largest front wheel Nova fit. It rolls over thresholds and rough ground that stops a smaller caster, which matters on a tall frame.
●
Quick-Adjust handle height
A push button moves the supports between 46.5" and 51.5" without a tool.
The Hieline Take

The Dragon is the Phoenix with the two problems of an upright rollator solved, and 4.5 lbs. added to solve them. The first problem is storage: an upright rollator is tall by definition, and a frame that folds standing up still needs about four feet of height somewhere. Nova's Fold and Go mechanism lays this one down flat to 24.5" high, which is what makes it a rollator you can actually travel with. The second is the wrists. Even when your forearms are taking the weight, a fixed grip angle can hold your hands somewhere uncomfortable, and the Dragon is the only Nova rollator whose grip tilt adjusts. Add a backrest that detaches and the same 10" front wheels, and it is the more thought-through of the pair. The cost is weight: 25 lbs. against the Phoenix's 20.5, which is the heaviest upright Nova make and worth thinking about if you will be loading it alone. One note on the specification: Nova's own folded figure of 49" to 54" wide is larger than the frame's 25" open width, because it describes the frame lying down. We publish it exactly as Nova print it.

Straight talk

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you

  • have wrist, hand or grip problems and want to load your forearms instead
  • want an upright rollator that still folds flat for a car or a closet
  • want to set the handle grip angle to suit your wrists
  • get back, neck or shoulder fatigue from a low-handled walker
  • are between 5'2" and 6'0" tall

Look elsewhere if you

  • weigh more than 300 lbs., where a bariatric frame is the right choice
  • are under 5'2", where the 46.5" minimum armrest height sits too high
  • need a light frame, because at 25 lbs. this is the heaviest upright Nova make
  • want the simplest upright, where the Phoenix is 4.5 lbs. lighter
