1 of 110

Last week, I ordered one of TiLite's 10th anniversary commemorative wheelchair's. The Z10

Technology

The Z10's frame is hand crafted from seamless, 3-2.5 aerospace-grade titanium.

Tapered rear struts. They are angled towards each other, placing them in tension. This makes the chair laterally stiffer, further rigidizing the frame and enhancing responsiveness.

The new backrest hinge integrates seamlessly into the frame tube, creating the illusion of a single, continuous tube flowing from the backrest to the footrest. This hinge locks in the open position and in the closed position. From the closed position, the chair may be lifted conveniently from the backrest. 

TiLite's new single-sided fork integrates with the Bullet Caster Housing.

Aesthetics

All carbon fiber components are tinted to match the selected anodize color.

Custom Spinergy LX wheels are all black with spoke anchors accented to match the selected anodize color

Tattos show case titanium by permanently imprinting one of three unique graphic patterns onto the titanium: Flora and Fauna, Skulls and Flames, or Circular Retro.

Lastly, every Z10 is fitted with a water jetted titanium serial number indicating it's position within the limited edition of 110.

Why the Z10? Sure, I could get a less expensive chair that would get the job done and could probably get it covered by insurance. I know it's an accessory for my ass and if I can afford, then why not? The build time is about 4 weeks, so I hope to have it in the beginning of June. So, I have 1 of 110. That only leaves 109, bitches!!! Peace!
