Product information for Handrims CURVE L
Our CURVE handrims - the perfect ergonomics for every movement.
For whom are CURVE handrims suitable?
For wheelchair users with complete manual function.
What are the advantages of CURVE handrims?
The innovative profile shape gives you a power-saving, controlled grip and stabilizes your wrist. Reduced hand fatigue compared to a conventional hand grip reduces cramping, reduces pain in carpal tunnel syndrome and creates a relaxed, sustainable driving experience.
Which profile size and coating do we recommend?
Wheelchair users with small hands should use the small CURVE profile. For larger and larger hands we recommend the larger CURVE L profile. If you like to descend quickly at higher temperatures, you should use the anodised surface.

CarboLife Handrims CURVE L Ergonomic Design
The CURVE L handrims feature a contoured shape that mirrors the natural hand position during propulsion. The design supports a more ergonomic pushing motion, helping reduce stress on the wrists and shoulders during everyday mobility or sports activities.
Lightweight Aluminum Construction
Each Curve L wheelchair handrim is made from lightweight, high-strength aluminum. This material provides a durable frame while minimizing additional weight on the wheelchair. The result is a handrim that contributes to easier maneuverability without compromising structural integrity.
CarboLife Handrims CURVE L Enhanced Grip Profile
These CarboLife wheelchair handrims are designed with a larger gripping surface, offering improved traction for the hands. This profile helps prevent slipping and allows for better power transfer with each push, especially for users with reduced hand function or during wet conditions.

Curve L Wheelchair Handrim Smooth Surface Finish

Designed for Everyday and Active Use
The CarboLife Handrims CURVE L are suitable for both daily users and those engaged in sports or high-activity movement. The ergonomic profile supports fast-paced motion while also allowing controlled braking and directional adjustments.
Reduces Risk of Overuse Injuries
By encouraging a more natural pushing technique, the CURVE L design helps minimize the risk of repetitive strain injuries. This makes them a valuable choice for long-term wheelchair users who want to preserve joint and muscle health.

Great Handrims
The hand rims are great overall product. So much better than standard hand rims. It is also great that they have clear anodized option, that is the one I got. It is great because scratches don't look as bad and it looks great a lot long than other ones. That's the main reason I got these over natural fit hand rims. On my old chair I had the Natural Fits.
The only reason this did no get 5 stars is because the tabs were bent so I had to it them wit the plastic side of my screw drive to bend them back into place and assemble the whee properly. -
Easy on the hands
These are immediately comfortable. Much easier grip shape and my arthritic thumb appreciates the wider and flat surface. The shape requires less grip effort. Less effort with the same forward momentum. I got the black ones. Curious about how they will hold up getting banged around, but they look great on my chair.
