	Who are the Gekko handrims suited for? For Wheelchair users with complete hand function and either complete or limited hand strength.
What are the advantages of the Gekko handrims? Its perfect ergonomics and outstanding grip along with its low weight make the Gekko a unique, revolutionary handrim. The robust replaceable silicone strip, which is fully integrated into the profile, further enhances the exceptional handling quality of the handrim creating unrivaled riding comfort for you. Additionally, the anodized low-friction surface at the sides prevents heat generation during braking.
	What is our recommendation in terms of profile size and coating? We recommend the Gekko S for users with small hands or children as well. Especially children learn yet by young age, how to push and grab the hand rim properly. If you have normally-sized or large hands, we recommend choosing the larger Gekko profile.
