Custom Built
Each TR begins life in our Designs Unlimited Studio, where we draw the frame to each users individual specifications. Next, TiLite fabricators and welders bring the drawings to life by hand building the TRs 1.00 dual-tube titanium frame to exacting standards. Finally, before each TR leaves the TiLite factory in Washington State, we carefully assemble and inspect it to ensure that it matches precisely what our customer has ordered. Each TR is like no other TR.
Raising the "Bar
Rigid wheelchairs with upper and lower frame tubes maintain more rigidity than mono-tube wheelchairs, which only have upper frame tubes. The more rigid the frame, the more optimal the energy transfer between the users push and the wheels rotation. On the TR and YR, TiLite minimized the space between the lower frame tubes and the upper frame tubes, thereby achieving increased rigidity for improved performance without sacrificing compactness for transport purposes.
Bullet Caster Housing
TiLites exclusive Bullet Caster Housing was created by designing an integral frame component with two goals in mind; low weight and elegant looks. Like many of TiLites innovations, the Bullet Caster design reduces the weight of the chair. Sometimes simple really is better.
TiShaft Back Release Bar
The TR and YR also feature the TiShaft back release bar, which eliminates the outdated string used to fold the backrest on most chairs.
Color
The TiLite TR and YR are now available with a Satin or Polished titanium finish or in one of 17 painted frame colors. Whether you are looking for subtle, bright, or just plain cool, now there is a TiLite look for you.
