Grounded in its basic philosophy of respect for humanity, Honda launched R&D efforts involving racing wheelchairs in 2002. The goal was to help a broad range of individuals realize their dreams and experience the joys of mobility. Since then, Honda’s delivered racing wheelchairs that help athletes sponsored by the Honda Group achieve their fastest possible speeds. Beginning in 2019, under a new structure whereby Honda, Honda Sun, and Yachiyo pool their individual specialties and strengths to establish more solid foundations, the Honda Group seeks to communicate the joy and wonder of pushing oneself to one’s limits, tackling challenges and making dreams real, and expanding awareness of wheelchair racing and athletics for people with disabilities.
Product info
Improved driving stability, acceleration performance, and top speeds
based on data from past races and extensive testing.

Wing frame
The wing-shaped main frame is the product of carbon technologies developed for F1 racing and HondaJet. It combines superior physical properties with sharp, motivating design.
Built-in steering damper
Newly-developed to be even more lightweight, this steering mechanism encloses the damper and other steering parts inside the frame, protecting critical driving components while enabling a clean and elegant front fork design.
Ultralight Hight -rigidity Wheels
The new carbon wheel structure is both ultralight and highly-rigid to transfer maximum power from the athlete’s arms to the road. The number of carbon sheet ply can be customized with up to two additional ply for athletes seeking even greater rigidity.

We will take the customer’s measurements at Yachiyo’s Saitama R&D Center.
3D Measurement
Technology
We offer a special sheet frame that perfectly fits to the athlete’s body.
*3D measurement is for翔＜KAKERU＞only.
Frame structure analysis based on anticipated gravitational force.
Advanced CFRP Design Technology
By utilizing the properties of the composite material and creating an optimal layer design, we have created ultra-lightweight carbon wheels and a vibration damping carbon frame.
*CFRP : carbon fiber reinforced plastics.
The racing wheelchair vibration measurement in an actual race.
Evaluation in Actual Races
Based on plenty of riding data, we pursued ride comfort and driving stability and improved upon the accelerating performance and top speed.
Based on the same design concept as KAKERU,but built so more athletes can experience the joy of racing. This hybrid racer combines a carbon main frame with an aluminum seat frame.
CharacteristicsRead More
Frame and Front Fork
With the concept of “sharing the smile of victory”,the front area has been redesigned to better match that of the Kakeru Flagship racer. It also utilizes the same carbon front fork as the Kakeru Flagship racer. (From the 2021 model)
Built-in Damper
Just as with the Kakeru Flagship racer, the steering damper has been housed inside the frame with a design that both protects critical driving components and enables a clean and elegant front fork. (From the 2021 model)
Body Design Tailored To How Athletes Ride
Choose from two types of seat frames—the T frame and U frame—depending on how you like to sit.
