NITRO® CRUISE™ Wheelchair 18"

Why Balanced Comfort & Maneuverability

The NITRO® CRUISE™ 18" is the most popular and versatile size in the lineup, fitting the widest range of users while remaining easy to navigate through doorways, hallways, and tight spaces. The 18-inch seat width is the standard fit for most adults, striking the right balance between comfort and compact maneuverability that wider models trade off. Adjustable seat depth (16"–18"), flip-back removable armrests, and swing-away footrests allow the chair to be configured for individual needs and transfer preferences. The foldable carbon steel frame collapses to 12" wide for straightforward car transport and storage, and composite mag rear wheels with push-to-lock brakes provide smooth, low-maintenance daily performance.
