Cruiser X4 Wheelchair: Lightweight and Fully Adjustable

Description

The Cruiser X4 wheelchair is a Drive Medical lightweight manual wheelchair with an aluminum frame, a 300 lb weight capacity and adjustable arms, back, seat height and seat depth. It suits users who need a chair that fits their body closely and still folds for the car.

Motion Care Mobility is an authorized Drive Medical dealer in Concord, Ontario. Visit our showroom for a fitting, or call (647) 765-0035 to ask about seat sizes and stock.

What Is the Cruiser X4 Wheelchair?

The Cruiser X4 wheelchair is a dual-axle folding manual wheelchair built on a blended aluminum and carbon steel frame. It is self-propelled, so the user pushes the rear wheels or a caregiver pushes from behind.

It weighs about 32 to 36 lbs depending on seat width. That is lighter than a standard steel chair, which makes it easier to lift into a car trunk.

Drive Medical built it around adjustability. Most of the parts that touch the body can be set to suit the user, without tools you cannot find at home.

Who Is the Cruiser X4 Best For?

The Cruiser X4 wheelchair is best for people who use a wheelchair most days and want a close fit. A chair that matches the user’s arm height, back height and seat height is more comfortable over longer periods.

Common uses include:

• Daily use at home, at appointments and on errands
• Users who are shorter or taller than average and need the chair set to match
• Users who propel with their feet and need a lower seat height
• Caregivers who lift the chair into a car often and want less weight to carry

If you only need a chair for a few weeks, a simpler model may be enough. Ask our team and we will point you to the right one.

What Features Does the Cruiser X4 Include?

The Cruiser X4 wheelchair includes seven standard features that improve fit, comfort and safety.

Height-Adjustable Flip-Back Arms

The padded desk-length arms adjust from 10 to 14 inches above the seat rail. They also flip back and remove, which clears the way for side transfers into a bed, car seat or chair.

Adjustable Back Height

The segmented back adjusts from 16 to 17.5 inches. This lets you set the back support to the user’s torso instead of accepting one fixed height.

Three-Position Quick-Release Rear Axles

The rear axles lock into three positions and release without tools. They let the seat move from standard height to hemi height, a lower setting for users who propel with their feet.

Adjustable Front Casters

The 8-inch front casters have three height settings. They keep the chair level when you change the seat height.

Swing-Away Footrests

The footrests swing out of the way so the user can stand or pivot with less effort. They have composite footplates with heel loops. Elevating leg rests are available for users who need to raise their legs.

Push-to-Lock Wheel Brakes

Push-to-lock brakes hold the chair still during transfers. A caregiver can set them before the user sits down or stands up.

Flame-Retardant Nylon Upholstery

The nylon seat and back resist mildew and bacteria and wipe clean with a damp cloth. They are built for daily use.

What Are the Cruiser X4 Wheelchair Specifications?

The table below lists the standard Cruiser X4 wheelchair specifications. Dimensions vary by seat width, so confirm the numbers for your chair with our team.

Which Cruiser X4 Seat Size Should I Choose?

The right Cruiser X4 wheelchair seat width is the user’s hip width plus one to two inches. A seat that is too narrow presses on the hips, and one that is too wide makes pushing harder.

As a general guide:

• 16-inch seat: a smaller frame or narrow doorways
• 18-inch seat: the most common choice for average adults
• 20-inch seat: a larger frame or extra room for winter clothing

Not sure which size fits? Come in and sit in the chair. We will check the fit and set the arms, back and seat height with you.

Should I Choose Swing-Away Footrests or Elevating Leg Rests?

Swing-away footrests suit most users, while elevating leg rests suit users who need to keep a leg raised. Swing-away footrests are lighter and simpler. Elevating leg rests help with swelling, a cast or limited knee bending.

How Does the Cruiser X4 Compare to Other Manual Wheelchairs?

The Cruiser X4 wheelchair is a step up from a basic steel chair in weight and adjustability. At about 32 to 36 lbs, it is several pounds lighter than the 41.25 lb Blue Streak wheelchair. It also adds adjustable arms, back height and seat height that a basic chair does not offer.

You can also compare the Drive Silver Sport 1 and the Medline K1. Browse our full range of manual wheelchairs to see every option.
