Key Features Distinguishing the Invacare TDX SP from the Invacare TDX3

Enhanced SureStep® - features redesigned pivot points, which allow for 6″ of caster travel - 3″ up and 3″ down. The Enhanced SureStep ultimately allows for a smoother transition down from obstacles.

Quiet Stability Lock - features a gas locking cylinder, which replaces the traditional metal gear set. When stability lock engages, the gas locking cylinder actuation eases the user to a stop and is nearly silent. The gas locking cylinder also provides a shock absorbing effect that removes the vibration often felt over small bumps or cracks in the sidewalk.

Formula CG Seating System
Lower Seat-to-Floor Height - the FormulaCG seating system allows for a lower starting

seat to floor height at 17.5″ compared to 18″ on the Formula seating system on an Invacare TDX3.
Pediatric Powered Tilt - the Formula CG powered tilt system allows for small seat sizes

starting at 12″x12″.
Lower Tilt List Price - the Formula CG seating system features a $4,500 list price

compared to the Formula Tilt or the Invisible Super Low Tilt both at $5,295.

Updated Aesthetics - larger diameter swingarm tubing, silver metallic accent shrouds, new spoke 5 wheel design, and sleek front head tube integration.

Serviceability - the Invacare TDX SP was developed with the technician in mind. The TDX SP uses 1/3 less parts than the TDX3.

Wider Rear Caster Spacing - the 9″ spacing between the rear casters allows for a smooth interface with docking devices.

Motion Concepts Power Center Mount - features 80° range of motion and 5.5″ articulation. The power center mount is available with a footboard standard and an optional upgrade to individual footplates.
