REDEFINING THE WORLD'S EXPECTATIONS
ABOUT RIGID WHEELCHAIRS
APEX is Motion Composites' latest adjustable ultralight rigid wheel-
chair. Its design is nothing short of revolutionary. Why? Because it
offers the best of both worlds. The best in lightness, strength and
performance combined with aluminum and carbon materials.
And, for the first time, the best possible settings and adjustments
for a rigid wheelchair.
THE LIGHTEST WHEELCHAIR
OF ITS CATEGORY
With a transit weight of only 9.2 lbs (4.2 kg), APEX erases any
preconceived notions about rigid wheelchairs. It is completely
adjustable to meet the needs of almost any client and operates like
a thoroughbred.
HEADTURNING DESIGN
Check out the design and construction details on the APEX. Or
examine its innovative components and accessories such as the
integrated impact guard and rigidify system. In one word... revolu-
tionary.
Welcome to a new era in rigid chair design and performance.
SHED THE WEIGHT,
UP THE PERFORMANCE
Available in aluminum frame, the APEX cantilever design is con-
structed using the industry’s most advanced materials. Plus, the
APEX represents not just low frame weight. It is also the lightest
configured adjustable wheelchair in the industry.
NIMBLE AND RESPONSIVE
The unique rear rigidizing bar on the APEX optimizes ride perfor-
mance. By increasing rear-frame rigidity, we’ve achieved an open
design concept that increases lateral stability.
Result — flex where and when you want it, and no sacrifice in stabili-
ty for gains in comfort and ease of transit.

SLEEK STYLING
Inspired by modern design and aesthetics, the head-turning lines
on the APEX prove once again that form should follow function. We
invite you to linger on the APEX’s gentle curves and bold styling.
Every design detail delights the eye and excites the senses.
ADJUSTS TO YOUR LIFE
As people change and evolve, so should their wheelchairs. From
simple adjustments in back angle, seat and floor height to tunable
rear wheel positions and seat width, the APEX is fully modular and
adjustable. Plus, its laser-etched markings allow you to more easily
adjust key components and specify exact positioning.
BUBBLE LEVEL (DOUBLE)
For quick and easy angle adjustments.
TECHNOLOGIES
HIGHMODULUS CARBON T700
The lightest and most rigid material available, also
renowned for its vibration dampening properties.
UNIQUE ALUMINUM ALLOY
Stronger and lighter than the competition's.
TRIPLEREINFORCED ALUMINUM
Reduces weight while maintaining high strength.
CLAMPED RIGIDIZING SYSTEM
Reduces weight while maintaining high strength.
INTEGRATED IMPACT GUARD WITH TOP GRIP

high friction grip for transfers. Protects vulnerable areas
of lower extremities.

world!

unique alloy that’s 20% stronger than 7005 aluminum. This elevates
the APEX A into a new category of adjustable performance.

WARNING  WHEELCHAIR SELECTION
Motion Composites manufactures various models of wheel-
chairs to meet the needs of end users. However, Motion
Composites is not a health care advisor,
and we are not aware of the individual condition or needs
of the wheelchair user. Therefore, the final selection of
a particular model, its adjustments, the type of options and
accessories, rest solely with the wheelchair user and the
health care professional advisor.
Choosing the best chair and setup for your safety depends on
the following criteria:
1. Your disability, strength, balance and coordination;
2. The types of hazards you must overcome in
daily use (where you live and work and other places you
are likely to use your chair); and
3. Your need for options for your safety and comfort (such as
anti-tippers, positioning belts or
special seating
systems). If you ignore this warning, you may endanger
your health.
WARNING  OCCUPIED TRANSIT ANCHORS AND TIEDOWNS
The wheelchair user should always transfer into the vehicle
seat and use the motor vehicle installed restraint system
whenever feasible. The wheelchair should then be stored and
secured in the vehicle.
If an appropriate transit system must be used, ensure that
the wheelchair is equipped with the Motion Composites tran-
sit anchor kit. It must also be ensured that the straps, hooks
and tiedowns of the paratransit vehicle’s tiedown system
meet the safety standards of the province, state or country
where the user is being transported, and installed accordin to
the tiedowns manufacturer’s standards.
Motion Composites cannot recommend, and does not recom-
mend, tiedowns or manufacturers of tiedown systems.
WARNING  SEATING RESTRAINTS
It is the obligation of your dealer and health care profes-
sionals advising you to determine if you require a seating
restraint or positioning system to ensure that you can safely
operate your wheelchair. A fall from a wheelchair may cause
serious injuries.
