Performance, comfort and everyday mobility

A RGK Tiga active wheelchair must offer more than just low weight. In daily use, the user's position, propulsion efficiency, stability, comfort, ease of transfers and how the chair can be transported matter. That's why all models in the Tiga range are built around the idea of personalized configuration.

The stiff frame helps transfer power to the wheels more efficiently. For active users, this can mean less effort when moving, better control in tight spaces, and more range during everyday activities. 7020 aluminum offers a good strength-to-weight-to-stiffness ratio, making it suitable for an active mobility wheelchair.

The classic Tiga model is suitable for balance and versatility. The Tiga F2 is a great choice for users who want a functional and efficient made-to-measure armchair. The Tiga Sub4 is the right choice when every gram counts, and the Tiga FX becomes relevant when transport, folding and traveling are a priority.

Airtech Technology adds options for comfort, posture and support. Adjustable upholstery, breathable materials and a tensionable backrest can contribute to better posture, increased comfort and more efficient long-term use.
