The RGK Veypr Sub4 is the world's first truly made-to-measure carbon fibre wheelchair achieved through it new proprietary and pioneering manufacturing process inspired by F1 technology. Carbon fibre is renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, so while this wheelchair is ultra-lightweight, it is also extremely strong to provide a smooth yet rigid ride.

This made-to-measure wheelchair pushes the limits on optimizing posture, performance, and comfort like no other.
