Today we had the pleasure of supplying Jamie with his brand new RGK Tiga Sub 4 wheelchair and front wheel wheelchair attachment in our mobility showroom in Lisburn. The Tiga Sub 4 is Jamie’s first RGK and he was delighted with his new bespoke made to measure chair.

The Tiga Sub 4 is guaranteed to be under 4kg with every component optimised. It is made from aerospace grade aluminium, and it includes completely new Sub4 upholstery. When lifting the chair into the car Jamie was taken aback at how light the frame was in comparison to his other chairs. The wheelchair allows for easy transfer, which means there is less wear and tear on your shoulders when placing it in and out of your vehicle.

There were 16 design changes made to the Sub 4 Upholstery to achieve an example weight of 0.8 kg.   Last, but certainly not least, the upholstery is made up of a seat sling and a backrest and connects you to the frame in order to deliver a life changing product.  The importance of the upholstery is second to none and each area has been reviewed to remove excess weight and maintain the function and versatility.

  • Optimised air tech strap adjustable backrest and centre pad, including mesh cover panel and low profile titanium buckles

Jamie also went for an RGK's Front Wheel All Terrain Wheelchair Add On. The attachment can be fitted and removed in seconds, it also enables you to travel over any terrain (grass, cobbles, mud and gravel) easily by keeping your front castor wheels off the floor at all times when you move in any direction, including backwards.

Technical Specification 

The FrontWheel is compatible with all RGK chairs and even some other manufacturers too.
