An irksome compromise that will frustrate you for years. The first noticeable difference between the XC and other folders on the market, is in its construction material, titanium. Titanium weighs half as much as steel, and has three-times the strength of aluminum, with superior shock absorption properties, making it a great material for wheelchair construction.
Titanium is, however, very difficult to work with, which adds considerable costs to the product.
The foremost issue to overcome in a folding sportschair design is creating operational rigidity. Traditional cross-brace designs place the seat tubes atop the main side frames. It s a subtle design difference that increases the XC s performance over other folding chairs. If X represents folding, then C represents custom. Unlike all other folders on the market, the XC is a full-bore custom sportschair, allowing you to specify seat width and depth, front and rear seat heights, rear axle location, caster housing location, front frame taper and angle, camber, and back angle.
