The Avantgarde CV - Variable: Optimum adaptation for perfect handling.

Exemplary ergonomics and outstanding functionality characterise the Avantgarde CV. An anterior frame with swivelling, removable footrest holders allows the user to approach furniture or a bathtub precisely and makes transfers easy. Another benefit: the footrest holders can be unlocked even with limited hand functionality.

General Overview

The Avantgarde by Otto Bock was and is the premium active wheelchair. Now we have a new Avantgarde that has been improved even further in all respects. The result is the best Avantgarde of all time: A comprehensive modular concept guarantees a highly customised overall structure with nearly all options for each model. Ultimate quality and stability make the new Avantgarde an absolutely reliable vehicle. It features optimum functionality and ergonomics combined with a modern design and cutting edge technology ahead of the competition for a truly inspiring product.

With the new Avantgarde, we are also blazing new trails in terms of communication. We are directly addressing those for whom we built the Avantgarde. Intensive advertising will attract the attention of the target group, resulting in higher demand. The future belongs to the new Avantgarde.

Form is function.

In the design of the new Avantgarde, technical and functional optimisation led to a clear focus on the essentials. With the new Avantgarde, “less is more” means that a significantly higher load capacity is supported while the weight stays the same. High quality aluminium alloys are used for the frame, designed to be extremely torsion-resistant. The new Avantgarde has clearly exceeded the standards for all tests to confirm rigidity, functionality, stability and medical requirements according to the Euronorm.

The new Avantgarde is quite simply enhanced in every way – enhanced design, enhanced ergonomics and en- hanced driving pleasure. The modular overall concept offers a multitude of possibilities for optimised customisation and adaptation to the needs of the customer. With seat depths of up to 52 cm, the new Avantgarde is now also especially well suited for tall people. A knee lever wheel lock that folds down in the locking position only (worldwide innovation!) permits a sideways transfer without any obstacles whatsoever.

The new Avantgarde features a highly attractive design. A special characteristic is the bicolour look, which al- lows the black frame to be individually combined with add-on components in 19 attractive colours or high tech materials such as carbon and aluminium. With gently rounded shapes and a design that largely eliminates visible bore holes, the frame of the new Avantgarde makes a pleasant, comfortable and also modern overall impression.

But the new Avantgarde is especially and particularly convincing in terms of the details. With over 1 million combination possibilities of all modules and settings, every new Avantgarde is one of a kind – as unique as the requirements Otto Bock meet by building it.

Optimised appearance

A frame that is perfectly rounded at the transition from the size 25 to the size 30 tubing, virtually invisible bore holes, the bicolour look and black functional components make the new Avantgarde appear comfortable and simultaneously dynamic.

Precise adjustment

In addition to the seat height and wheel camber settings, the new Avantgarde also allows the directional stability to be adjusted and, with 84 different drive wheel positions, assures optimum adaptation and fine- tuning of the tipping point.

Colour follows function

Part of the Avantgarde bicolour concept: clothing protector side panels that can be perfectly adapted to the wheel arch, in a secondary colour or made of carbon upon request. The position is precisely adaptable to the wheel arch.

Maximum flexibility

The desk side panels with arm rests in various dimensions and settings that can be modified in all directions assure maximum flexibility and a straightforward sitting transfer with an easy-to-operate folding and removal mechanism.

Uniquely Avantgarde

Only the new Avantgarde can do this: For a sideways transfer without obstacles, the wheel lock lever of the knee lever wheel lock can be folded down when locked (and only then).
