Overview of the Top End Excelerator XLT

The Invacare Top End Excelerator-XLT handcycle is great for everyone, from the beginner to the competitive cyclist. It's a great way to exercise, cross-train or just have fun. Performance-minded handcycle riders will like all the options available to build a lean, mean racing machine tailored to their exact needs. Just get out there and go – that’s the feel of this recreational handcycle! Just lean back in the semi-reclined XLT Handcycle and you may hit speeds of 20 mph. The low maintenance, 7-speed hubs with reverse hands-on braking give you more time – and more control – over the ride.

The Top End XLT Handcycle is designed for recreational handcycling in town or country.

Lightweight, oval tube aluminum XLT frame with chrome-moly steel fork features simple geometry for maximum stiffness and easy cornering.

 The XLT Handcycle also comes standard with a wealth of safety features, including reflectors, full chain guard, foot safety straps, safety flag, cushion and seat restraints. You can also choose from several optional safety enhancements, including a mirror, helmet, safety lights, hydration systems and more.

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.
