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.

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
