Product Description

These are the Natural-Fit LT Oval, designed to give ergonomic benefits to those whose hands are too small to comfortably grip the original oval handrims. Fits 26" (590) spoke or Spinergy Wheels.  Attaches with 6 tabs. Sold in pairs.

Available with Standard Grip Thumb piece, Super Grip Thumb piece or no Thumb piece.

Compared to Standard Handrims, the 
Research Evidence is Clear:

• The Natural-Fit LT reduces effort it takes 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 every single day.

Get Proven Benefits with Each Option:

• Better performance and efficiency.
• Eliminates pushing on the tire.
• Eases pain in the hands & wrists.
• Greater control when braking.
• The Natural-Fit LT uses the smaller 1 1/8" profile oval.
• It offers 80% more surface area for gripping than a standard handrim and weighs just 20 ounces (17% lighter than the original Natural-Fit)

The research evidence (detailed below) demonstrates that you pay a price with every push on the skinny, round tube standard handrim. The price is less efficiency, more effort, and more fatigue and pain. In contrast, the same research shows that the ergonomic grip of the Natural-Fit improves performance and efficiency with every push:

• The Natural-Fit LT provides a 16% reduction in effort to grip the rim.
• 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.
