THERE IS A CATALYST DIFFERENCE

While every model in the Catalyst family has a different axle plate with adjustment capabilities unique to each, they all take advantage of the same innovative design features that set them apart from other frames in the market. From the patented frame design constructed from 7000 series aluminum to the dual interlocking cross braces with a power x-hinge, there truly is a "Catalyst Difference".

UNIVERSAL AXLE PLATE

The Universal Axle Plate does it all. Achieve seat-to-floor heights in 1/2" increments and adjust CG over a 3" range. With a more rigid design than its competitors, Catalyst 5 offers the best performing ride in its class.

300 LBS STANDARD WEIGHT CAPACITY

Light is great but lighter AND stronger is better. Catalyst 5 has a mere transport weight of 12.8 lbs* and a standard weight of 20.8 lbs. Did we mention it has a 300 lbs standard weight capacity? That makes Catalyst 5 the lightest AND strongest folding wheelchair in the K0005 category.

FRONT FRAME STYLES

The lightweight easy-to-use patented hangers now offer multiple hanger release options to further optimize chair setup for the client or caregiver. Did we mention, it's the ONLY hanger with a lifetime warranty!

MAXX SPOKE

Maxx is our new spoke wheel that offers performance and style without a high price tag. It features eighteen radial spokes and a high flange hub that result in increased rigidity for a more responsive, better performing wheel. The heightened level of responsiveness combined with a lightweight design give the rider the most from every push. Constructed with a 6061 series aluminum rim and straight steel spokes with a durable black satin finish for a look and feel that is anything but standard.

Ki Mobility Catalyst 5

300 lb. Standard Weight Capacity – NEW!

Weighing in at a mere 14.2 lb. transport weight*, Catalyst 5 is the lightest and strongest folding wheelchair on the market with a 300 lb. standard weight capacity! A heavy duty option is also available.


*Transport Weight: 16×16 standard configuration. Without rear wheels and no footrests. For your reference, a standard pair of 24” spoke wheels w/ a 1” high pressure tire and aluminum hand rim weighs 6.064 lbs.


The Catalyst Difference

Catalyst 5 takes advantage of all of the “Catalyst Difference” design features to allow you to fit, adjust and ride with confidence.  A defining characteristic of each chair is its axle plate which we will highlight below.


Standard And Curved Axle Plates

With the Catalyst 5 you have the ability to adjust your Center of Gravity (CG), a critical design criteria for a K0005 class chair.  Both axle plate options, standard and curved, are machined from Billet 6061-T6 aluminum and offer finite adjustment of the CG and rear seat height.  3/16″ of CG adjustment over a 3 ½” range is a snap with the innovative 3D locking index washer design.  It only requires one wrench. The standard axle plate offers 1″ adjustments in rear-seat height and 1° adjustments of wheel camber while the curved axle plate offers a more discrete ½” of fine tuning adjustments in the rear seat.


Front Frame Styles

Catalyst 5 offers the option of a swing away front end featuring our patented footrests or 70° or 80° fixed frames.  The swing away hangers come in 4 bends (60°, 70°, 80° & 90°) are light and easy to use and so strong we offer a lifetime warranty.


WC-19 Transit Approved

Transit Tested and approved. User weight capacity up to 300lbs.


Wheelchairs Are About Wheels

The Catalyst 5 offers Ki Mobility’s full line of specially designed Ki spoke wheels with precision machined hubs and hard anodized handrims.  Utilizing straight pull spokes this wheel promotes a stiffer and stronger wheel while the hard anodize handrim is resistant to scratching so they keep that “NEW” look longer.  We also offer the full array of industry standard wheels and casters such as Spinergy, Natural Fit, Frog Legs and Topolino.


Mags Can Be High Performance Too

Ki Mobility proudly offers the ultra-sleek and lightweight X-Coretm mags.  These wheels have far greater stiffness and rigidity than conventional mags while keeping the weight to only 1 lb. more than spokes. Now available in 20″, 22″ and 24″.
