Team Invacare’s Van Der Vorst Wins Düsseldorf Marathon

May 18, 2009 by HME Business

Team Invacare’s Monique Van der Vorst (Netherlands) placed first in the women’s handcycle division at this month’s Düsseldorf Marathon.
A member of Team Invacare since 2003, Van der Vorst rode Invacare’s new Top End Force R Handcycle across the finish line in the May 3 race with a time of 1:23.56, leading second-place finisher Lily Anggreny (Germany) by more than seven minutes.
The Top End Force R Handcycle is the latest super-recumbent handcycle model in the Invacare’s Force racing series. 
“We designed the Invacare Top End Force R Handcycle with comfort,speed and aerodynamics in mind,” said Chris Peterson, director of Invacare Top End.
Designed for competitive performance, the handcycle’s computer-aided teardrop design delivers a stiff, low-to-the ground, aerodynamic frame. The Force R Handcycle offers an adjustable, lie-down or recumbent position with an easy-to-adjust backrest and crank support. Easy adjustments and breathable mesh upholstery optimize comfort using mostly arm, shoulder and chest muscles.
