HELIO C2 Carbon folding wheelchair

EXPERIENCE THE PERFORMANCE
This flagship model is one of the lightest, most technologically advanced wheelchairs in its category. The HELIO C2 is the result of a series of innovations, it features revolutionary components, an impeccable finish and all the advantages carbon fiber offers.
BENEFITS
Reactive handling and easy transportation
Our vision for the HELIO C2 was significantly reduced weight and greater freedom of movement. Each component was carefully selected and carbon fiber was used for strength and lightness. The result is greater mobility as well as reduced chronic shoulder and joint injuries.

Save your energy to go further
The symmetrical cross brace and rigid unibody frame distribute forces equally throughout the frame for superior energy transfer and propulsion. Our unique Ultrarigid Folding system (UFS) maximizes the chair’s overall stability, while the vertical axle plates increase rear wheel stiffness for optimal energy efficiency.

Optimal seat-to-floor height
The frame’s innovative design allows you to achieve a super-low 12-inch (30.5-cm) front seat-to-floor height. In addition to easier contact with the floor, this feature provides better foot propulsion. Or, move it beyond 20 inches (50.8 cm) to meet your most challenging needs.

Uncompromising reliability
Because carbon fiber is both very strong and very light, it is an ideal material for making wheelchairs. It also has superior fatigue resistance and can withstand extreme temperatures. This ensures exceptional durability, for a chair that will serve you for many years to come.

Carbon seat rail
Fully molded with integrated seat slider for better seat sling support.

Ultrarigid folding system
High-precision tolerances and oversized pivot axles for best-in-class propulsion efficiency.

Hybrid frame design
Eliminates the need for both hemi and standard frame, while providing a complete range of seat-to-floor heights.

Footrest anchor
Bracket is inset with an integrated friction plate to protect the carbon fiber.

Reinforced back cane support
For added stability and comfort.

Rigid unibody frame
A unibody frame is much stronger and requires less maintenance than a standard two-part frame. It also reduces weight while maximizing propulsion efficiency.

Anti-flutter caster
Minimize flutter with a simple twist of a screw. Provides a smooth, more efficient ride.

Evolve caster housing
Integrated into the frame for rock-solid durability, the Evolve caster housing offers easy and precise infinite adjustments.

Size Chart / measuring guide
A-Seat DepthMeasure from the most posterior point of the body to the inside of the knee, minus at least two inches. Some prefer more leg overhang to make room for their hand when lifting their leg.B-Back HeightMeasured from the seat base to the top of the wheelchair back. Depends on how much upper back support is needed, and also affects freedom for the upper body to rotate.c-Rear Seat to FloorMeasurement from the ground to the rear seat edge. Relative to the front seat-to-floor dimension, this determines the rearward slope ("dump" or "squeeze") of the wheelchair seat.D-Hanger AngleDetermines how far the toes extend away from the body, measured from the horizontal. A tighter angle allows the wheelchair to turn around in less space. Depends in part on ability of the knee to bend towards the perpendicularE-Seat WidthDetermined by the widest point of the body from knee to hip, plus an inch to ensure room to move. Consider bulk of clothing, particularly a heavy winter coat, if relevant.F-Wheel CamberAngle of the wheel relative to the vertical. More camber improves stability and agility, but also limits ability to pass through narrow spaces. A typical daily wheelchair uses three degrees of camber.G-Front Seat to FloorMeasure the leg from the back of the knee to the sole of the foot. Then subtract the thickness of the cushion when it is compressed. Next, add a minimum of two inches for footrest clearance. Do not add the footrest clearance if the wheelchair will be foot-propelled.H-Footrest WidthMeasure from the inside of each leg rest tubing the distance or desired distance between leg rests.H-Footrest WidthMeasure from the inside of each leg rest tubing the distance or desired distance between leg rests.I-Center of GravityMeasure from the front of the seat back post to the center of the rear axle.J-Seat to Footrest LengthMeasure from the edge of the seat upholstery to the top rear of the footrest.K-Backrest AngleMeasure the angle of the back post to the floor. Ninety degrees will be perpendicular to the floor, to approximate the angle from the back post to the seat, subtract two degrees from measurement for every .5" of dump -
