Tiga SeriesRigid Wheelchair
Tiga Sub4: the ultra-lightweight wheelchair that’s less than 4 kg – guaranteed!
Combining quality and tailored craftsmanship with innovation and design, the RGK Tiga is a fusion of our made to measure process with technology, flair and style.

Multiple frame finishes and a choice of colour anodizing on key parts of your frame accentuate your choice.
Are you tired of your chair being battered and broken by airlines when put into the cargo hold? Want to use your own chair rather than being forced into a heavy, non-self-propelled monstrosity when exploring duty free? Don’t want to buy a huge, gas-guzzling car just to fit your wheelchair in? Then the RGK Tiga FX is for you. It simply folds into a briefcase-style shape, easily slipping into airline overhead bins* and car trunks of nearly any size. No cross-folding. No compromise in stability, rigidity, or weight. Stop avoiding seeing the world: get a flawless everyday chair that’s perfectly suited for intrepid travelers.
Made from aerospace grade aluminum, the RGK Tiga Sub4 ultra-lightweight rigid wheelchair has been engineered with love, passion, and sheer determination to provide the lightest made-to-measure wheelchair without any compromises. We believe every gram makes a difference, and every component down to washers and screws have been optimized to provide you with a made-to-measure rigid wheelchair frame guaranteed to weigh less than 4 kg** – welcome to the Sub4.
Under 4 kg
Your made-to-measure Tiga Sub4 wheelchair frame is guaranteed to be under 4 kg — we’ll even write the exact weight on your certified frame. This includes all standard components such as compact wheel locks, carbon fibre side guards with fender, casters, carbon fibre footrest cover, and upholstery. The rear wheels and cushion are not included, as these are easily removed for transportation.
The lighter the wheelchair, the less energy you need to push – it’s that simple.
We understand that a small weight saving can make getting in and out of the car that little bit easier, so imagine what a massive weight saving can do for you! The Tiga Sub4 glides effortlessly due to the lightweight and rigid frame, but don’t think we’ve compromised on quality. The Sub4 boasts all the same reliability features as the Tiga, and with the frame being very similar in design and materials, you can be sure the Sub4 isn’t just super light, but super strong, too!
Made-to-measure for an efficient drive.
The stiff, robust made-to-measure frame and footrest is hand built and designed to your individual requirements. Every tube has been reviewed and analyzed to ensure any excess weight is removed and the reliability that you’ve come to expect from an RGK wheelchair is maintained. The same has been done for the parts, too. The casters, sideguards, brakes, and fasteners have also been reviewed and analyzed to remove any excess weight – without compromising function. So the standard ‘on the road’ specification includes all that’s needed to achieve that under 4 kg weight…with no hidden extras.
Weight saving upholstery
The weight saving improvements made to the Tiga Sub4 upholstery include a new mesh strap seat sling and backrest, which are both adjustable and fitted with low-profile titanium buckles. For added comfort, the backrest also comes with an optimized Airtech centre pad.
Tiga FX – The Lightweight Folding Rigid Wheelchair
The most important quality of the Tiga FX is its Q-lock system. Innovative, smart, and revolutionary, it allows you to turn your rigid, made-to-measure wheelchair into a collapsible, petite travel companion. Remove the cushion, flatten the sideguards, fold the front frame underneath the seat rail, fold the backrest down, remove the quick-release wheels, and get on with your journey.
Integrated adjustable side supports
Select this option if you need extra lateral stability to ensure positioning column is in the midline.
Add a touch of colour!
Colour-coordinate your caster arms’ accent caps – available in black, red, purple, silver gray, blue, or copper.
Maximum freedom!
Want to tackle grass, bumps, mud, gravel, and other uneven surfaces? Why not pair the Tiga wheelchair up with the FrontWheel? It’s compact and easy to install, even with the rider in the chair.
