Adjustable Seat Depth: The seat depth is adjustable by adding or removing the included seat depth extension strap. The 14”, 16" and 18" widths, the seat depth is 13" and can be adjusted to 15" and 17".
Why We Like It
The Preliminator is a great first-time chair for those looking to discover racing, or those who want a recreational chair. We like that the 3 seat width sizes make it easy for schools and clubs to use.
- The Preliminator is great for:
- Schools, programs, and groups offering a racing to the general public
- Younger users who are still growing or those recently injured and still adapting to their “new body”
- Beginners that are not sure what an appropriate or correct chair should be.
- Great for those wanting to see if racing chairs is for them.
- The rear wheels are quick release.
- This is great for quick storage and transport
What You Need to Know When Ordering
All we need to know is which seat width you want. The rest of the chair is preconfigured or adjustable.
The Preliminator arrives assembled but the rear wheels and some accessories will need to be installed. The rear wheels have quick-release axels so they’re easy to pop on.

Measuring Guide
- Seat Depth1
- Measure from the most posterior point of the body to the inside of the knee, minus at least two inches. Optimal contact between the legs and the seat increases stability for the body.
- Back Height2
- Measured from the seat base to the top of the chair back. Sport users need enough height for upper body support, yet low enough to allow the arms and trunk to rotate freely.
- 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 seat. Sport chairs usually have more dump for extra upper body stability.
- Hanger Angle4
- Determines how far the toes extend away from the body, measured from the horizontal. Sport users often use very tight angles to be able to rotate in the smallest possible space.
- Seat Width5
- Determined by the widest point of the body from knee to hip, plus an inch to ensure room to move. Sport chairs are typically as narrow as possible to save weight which improves agility.
- 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 sport chair uses nine to twelve 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 chair 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. Find a sport chair
