Titanium daychair available as a dual‐ or mono‐ tube frame.
1. Assessment
The Adjustable COG Series is essentially the same as the rigid, aside from allowing for the camber bar positioning to be altered easily — which is versatility that I am after, if practicable. Even more appropriately, HOC make a skate‐style daychair — featuring adjustable suspension and the option of grind bars — which they call the Suspension Series.
