Invacare Top End
Top End, just as the name implies, is all about performance. We are on top from our high performance rigid everyday chairs to our sports products for racing, basketball, tennis or hand cycling. What sets us apart from the competition? We have been making sports and recreation products since 1986, specializing first in racing chairs, then on to sport specific chairs designed for basketball, quad rugby and tennis. We have been pushing the design envelope for handcycles since 1990 and now offer the widest range of handcycles available. Our chairs are custom built to your exact specifications for both fit, function and performance. Plus they are everyday or sports specific, position specific and person specific. Special requests are common here-no worries!
