Overview of the Tsunami ALX

The Tsunami ALX is a simple single tube design rigid frame wheelchair. The Tsunami ALX utilizes an oversized 7000 series aluminum tubing frame to provide a highly rigid feel that gives the ride incredible responsiveness. The 1-3/8” tubing produces a stiff, strong, and lightweight wheelchair. The minimalist frame design also makes for a wheelchair that will fit in tight spaces when transporting. Combined with its light weight and compact design makes the Tsunami ALX convenient to get in and out of your vehicle. The Tsunami ALX is rich in features. Simple design does not mean skimpy on options. You will have a wide range of front frame angles and tapers as well many frame colors, caster choices, and rear wheel types that can be paired a large selection of handrims and tires.

What Makes This Different
Hardware is what usually adds weight to wheelchairs. The Tsunami AXL has a unique yet simple Crescent CG system which gives you a large range of Center Gravity settings. The simplicity of Crescent CG almost hardware-free. This keeps your wheelchair weight is little as possible. The minimal hardware also leaves you with plenty of room to add a specialty backrest or other positioning aids. A machined aluminum caster housing produces a very strong and visually appealing caster and fork assembly which also gives a highly responsive ride. The Tsunami ALX also has infinite adjustment for the footplate. The adjustment screws are conveniently located on the outside of the frame for easy access. With a couple turns of the screws you can finetune the footplate height to your preference.

Why We Like It

The Tsunami ALX is a great wheelchair for a newer user or someone wanting to change their set up. Adjustability is a prominent feature of the Tsunami ALX. Ki Mobility’s Tubular Component System (TCS) is a big part of this adjustability. The TCS allows the user to make seat height adjustments in ¼” increments. The TCS helps to keep hardware as minimal as possible creating a lightweight, sleek wheelchair with an incredibly smooth, responsive ride.

Measuring Guide

View Detailed Measurement Guide

Seat Depth¹

Measure from the most posterior point of the body to the inside of the knee, minus at least two inches. Some prefer more leg overhang to make room for their hand when lifting their leg.

Back Height²

Measured from the seat base to the top of the wheelchair back. Depends on how much upper back support is needed, and also affects freedom for the upper body to rotate.

Rear Seat to Floor³

Measurement from the ground to the rear seat edge. Relative to the front seat-to-floor dimension, this determines the rearward slope ("dump" or "squeeze") of the wheelchair seat.

Hanger Angle⁴

Determines how far the toes extend away from the body, measured from the horizontal. A tighter angle allows the wheelchair to turn around in less space. Depends in part on ability of the knee to bend towards the perpendicular.

Seat Width⁵

Determined by the widest point of the body from knee to hip, plus an inch to ensure room to move. Consider bulk of clothing, particularly a heavy winter coat, if relevant.

Wheel Camber⁶

Angle of the wheel relative to the vertical. More camber improves stability and agility, but also limits ability to pass through narrow spaces. A typical daily wheelchair uses three degrees of camber.

Front Seat to Floor⁷

Measure the leg from the back of the knee to the sole of the foot. Then subtract the thickness of the cushion when it is compressed. Next, add a minimum of two inches for footrest clearance. Do not add the footrest clearance if the wheelchair will be foot-propelled.

Footrest Width⁸

Measure from the inside of each legrest tubing the distance or desired distance between legrests.

Center of Gravity⁹

Measure from the front of the seat back post to the center of the rear axel.

Seat to Footrest Length¹⁰

Measure from the edge of the seat upholstery to the top rear of the footrest.

Backrest Angle¹¹

Measure the the angle of the back post to the floor. Ninety degrees will be perpendicular to the floor, to approximate the angle from the back post to the seat, subtract two degrees from measurment for every .5" of dump.
