Catalyst 5Vx
Igniting The Evolution
Endless Style.
Expected Quality.
Essential Value.
From the logo to the frame, Catalyst 5VX has been redesigned
with a modern, minimalist approach.
Enhanced designs let you optimize your ride.
Unleash the transformative power of colour
Express your authentic style by crafting a truly distinctive and personalized look using the new Colour Accent option. Colour Accents provide a subtle highlight of colour using an ultra-durable powder coat finish on a select group of parts. For the Catalyst 5Vx this includes the wheels, forks and axle plate.
The Catalyst Difference
Catalyst 5Vx takes advantage of all of the "Catalyst Difference" design features to allow you to fit, adjust and ride with confidence. A defining characteristic of each chair is its axle plate which we will highlight below.
Better Adjustment
Centre of gravity adjustment and ride performance go hand in hand. The redesigned axle plate and rear frame give you 2” (5.08 cm) of centre of gravity adjustment in 1/2” (1.27 cm) increments and 5” (12.7 cm) of rear seat height adjustment over 7 positions.
Find your fit, ease your propulsion and optimize the ride you’ve come to expect with Catalyst.
Adjustable Camber
The Adjustable Camber comes at no charge, giving you up to 4° of camber in 1” increments. A simple adjustment and convenient option provides you with the parts up front so you have everything you need when adjusting or fine tuning camber later.
Style
Personalizing your Catalyst 5Vx begins with you.
Pick your greatest shade then highlight your look with our anodizing package, options and accessories. With thousands of colour combinations to choose from, be bold. Be you.

Private Clients and Families
Paragon Mobility is committed to supporting positive outcomes for people who rely on complex wheelchairs and specialised assistive technology. While we do not supply products directly to end users, we work closely with our National Dealer Network and healthcare professionals to provide the product expertise, technical knowledge and ongoing support that contribute to effective assistive technology prescriptions.
Our role is to support the people and organisations responsible for assessing, prescribing, supplying and maintaining equipment. Through comprehensive product information, configuration guidance, technical assistance, education and troubleshooting support, we help our partners ensure that products are appropriately selected and configured to meet each end user’s individual functional needs, environment, lifestyle and goals.
Paragon Mobility also supports the prescription process by providing access to product knowledge, trial equipment and specialist advice, helping dealers and clinicians evaluate whether a proposed solution is appropriate before final prescription. This collaborative approach can reduce the risk of inappropriate equipment selection and improve the long-term efficacy of prescribed solutions.
Following supply, we remain available to our dealer partners with technical and product support throughout the equipment lifecycle.
Ultimately, our objective is to work behind the scenes as a trusted product specialist, supporting our partners so that end users receive effective, appropriate and sustainable assistive technology solutions.
