SPECIALE is the result of Aria's search for every possible gram of weight saving. Its magnesium alloy was tuned specifically for this frame, giving it exceptional stiffness and smoothness. Changes of direction and every push feel like a court-sport chair – tennis or basketball – yet it is built for everyday life.
In some configurations the transport weight is only about 3.9 kg. Less weight means less strain on shoulders and joints, and a chair that is easy to lift into the car. SPECIALE suits experienced, independent users who move on their own throughout the day.
Extreme lightness
From about 3.9 kg without rear wheels – one of the lightest rigid chairs available.
Stiff & smooth

Super reactive
Quick turns and easy propulsion, like a sports wheelchair.
Made to measure
Frame, seat and backrest are built around your body and lifestyle.
Backrest choice
Fixed backrest, or folding backrest with adjustable inclination.
Carbon-fibre seat
