Ki Mobility Axiom AS Cushion
The Axiom AS incorporates a patented, self-adjusting fluid system that uses a rider's body weight and physical characteristics to control the amount of immersion and envelopment within the cushion. Once the desired fitting is achieved, the adjustment can be locked in. The design of this cushion incorporates the fluid Hydrolite, it is incredibly lightweight and less sensitive to temperature. The result is a cushion with an ideal fit that stays cooler and is more comfortable for the rider.

Description
Getting the optimum fit the first time is as easy as sitting!
The Axiom AS is one of the first Field Adjustable Lightweight Fluid cushions. The patented self-adjusting fluid system makes fitting and adjustment of the cushions incredibly simple. It uses the rider’s bodyweight and physical characteristics to automatically adjust the fluid volume to create optimum loading.
Optimized Pressure Distribution & Maximum Stability
The cushion allows the femurs, trochanters, and ischia to all be independently loaded. The fluid under the ischia is specifically engineered to reduce shear strain while The trochanteric bladders are filled with a stiffer version of Hydrolite for stability when moving and reaching.
Incredibly Light
Axiom's Hydrolite is incredibly light, eliminating the "weight penalty" of other fluid cushions. Also, it's less sensitive to temperature, so the fluid performs consistently regardless of how hot or cold the climate.
Superior Microclimate
The cushion base features a dense layer of reticulated foam under a layer of spacer fabric to allow air to flow. The foam base is closed cell and designed with pathways that allow moisture to flow through and away from the body, maintaining a cooler and drier skin interface.
Patented Design
- Pleated 4-way super stretch Lycra cover to eliminate cover tension
- Microclimatic spacer fabric layer over reticulated foam comfort layer for air flow
- Structural Foam Base with Fluid reservoir channels allow for individual adjustment of fluid volume
- Bilateral Ischial Fluid inserts with more mobile fluid for shear reduction
- Independent Trochanteric fluid inserts, with stiffer fluid for stability
- Vents allow the cushion to adjust to changes in ambient pressure
Pre-Contoured Shape
Axiom cushions are pre-contoured to facilitate loading the trochanters, decrease ischial loading and improve lateral stability.
Anthropometrics
We cooperated with Georgia Tech to study actual pelvic dimensions and other human measurements. This was critical to designing the cushion's contours so they properly fit the broad range of users.
Surface Tension Reduction
The ischial bladders rests directly under the outer layer of the cover. By using the super 4-way stretch Lycra outer cover material, surface tension is significantly reduced, providing better immersion.
These adjustable lightweight fluid cushions are Available in 2 models, this Adjustable Skin (AS) version and also an Adjustable Skin & Positioning (ASP) version.
Please note some sizes may be only available for purchase and not for trial. Additional sizing not showing in the dropdown box may be also available for purchase on request
