Handling Technology

The ultra-light Helium‘s rigidity, high tolerances and detailed ergonomic adjustments ensure it is the easiest to turn in confined spaces.

The Helium offers you excellent size efficiencies between your dimensions and those of the chair. Just 17 cm additional width with Proton wheels.* Combine this with the 92 degree leg rest angle, and you can have a tight turning circle from 74.5 cm!**
