HANDGRIPS

Standard

These are the standard issue with each Colorado Sport CycleTM, and are intended for cyclists with a full or nearly full grasp. These grips are identical to the Saratoga Standard Handgrips, and they now offer the Quick-ExchangeTM feature. People with a limited grasp who choose the Colorado Sport Cycle are advised to customize their Colorado by adding one of the Saratoga grips.

Saratoga handgrips:

• Standard: If you have a full or nearly full hand grasp, then this is the grip is for you. Whenever you want to work out, just grab these grips and go!
• Limited-grasp: If you lack hand grasp or yours is limited, then these handgrips may be just what you need. Al DeGraff, who designed the Saratoga Cycle, is a C 5/6 quad with curled fingers and weak wrist flexion. His personal cycle is equipped with these grips. Two adjustable "knuckle pads" hold the hand as pictured. Slip your hands into the open end of each grip and start cranking away whenever you wish. It's just that easy. Not recommended for a complete lack of grasp with straight fingers.
• Adjustable-Loop: Some folks with partial grasp prefer these grips. Just slip your hand into the loop, pull the D-ring to tighten the velcro® strap, and then slip the handgrip tubes onto the Quick-ExchangeTM cores. Not recommended for a complete lack of grasp with straight fingers.
• 3-Way, Angled: Some customers like a handgrip that enables changing hand positions during long workouts. These new grips provide 3 choices for positioning: horizontal, 45-degrees, and 23-degrees. These different angles provide a variety of comfortable positions while also exercising different muscle groups. In addition, the cyclist has the choice of keeping both hands close to the cycle or exercising while the hands are spread apart.

OUR OPINION

• The Colorado has the same qualities as the Saratoga, for a better price.
• The Colorado is most suitable for paraplegics and amputees because:
  - there is no head rest
  - they can use the standard handgrips.
• We strongly recommend to order the specially designed table clamp.
• The T-shaped table is exceptionnaly well designed. This table is strongly recommended for rehab facilities.
