Presentation

The mountain is meant to be shared

The Tandem’Flex is our tandem ski equipment. It allows people who cannot or do not wish to ski independently to fully enjoy a day in the snow. Seated in a Grand Confort seat, the passenger experiences the thrill of gliding, accompanied by a specially trained pilot.

The device combines full suspension, tailored support and features that make the pilot's safety maneuvers easier. On groomed runs or in soft snow, the pilot chooses a suitable downhill to share the mountain with the passenger, their family and friends, even when support needs are significant.
Key features

Accessibility and comfort

Le tandem flex est un vrai bonheur.
Le tandem flex est un vrai bonheur pour le pilote et son passager. Il donne l'accès au ski à tous même aux plus fragiles grâce à son grand confort. Les sensations de pilotage sont incroyables. On peut tailler des courbes de fou. La machine est facile et semble légère même pour un petit gabarit comme moi. C'est toujours un plaisir de piloter.

Cela n’aurait jamais été possible sans vous !
Merci infiniment de concevoir, d’améliorer des machines qui permettent à des personnes en situation d’handicap de profiter des plaisirs de la glisse et de la montagne. Ce 15 avril, j’ai eu le grand bonheur de faire la Vallée Blanche sur un Tandem’Flex (hyper confortable) avec Doumé et Lionel. Cela n’aurait jamais été possible sans vous ! Encore merci !

Cutting-edge technology

Comfort

The Grand Confort bucket seat combines a wide seat base with a cover padded with Bultex foams. The adjustable four-point harness and the thigh strap help support the passenger. The harness can be opened in several ways, making it easier to settle in and transfer.

Suspension

The frame is fully suspended on an Öhlins shock absorber fitted with a progressive spring. The Quickset system lets you adjust the suspension to the passenger's weight quickly and without tools. This adjustment is particularly useful for organizations that host several people throughout the day.

Getting settled

The tilt lock holds the frame laterally during installation. The pilot can concentrate on the transfer and on the passenger's position and support. The controls and handlebar adjustment have been designed to make the safety maneuvers required for assisted skiing easier.

Boarding

Cylinders assist the lifting for boarding chairlifts. The high and lateral locks make waiting easier and reduce the pilot's effort. When unloading, the suspension helps the frame return to the low position to make the transition smoother for the passenger.

Safety

A belt and a lifeline connect the pilot to the safety brake. If the pilot falls, this device automatically triggers the brake. It also serves as a parking brake when the pilot unclips. Its use is part of the specific Tandem’Flex training.

FAQ

Who is the Tandem’Flex for?

It is designed for people who cannot or do not wish to pilot sit-ski equipment themselves. It can accommodate passengers with significant support needs. The installation, support and choice of outing are adapted to each person's needs.

Does the passenger have to take part in piloting?

No. Piloting is handled by the trained companion. The passenger can enjoy gliding without having to steer the device. This approach sets the Tandem’Flex apart from solutions in which the sitskiers actively contributes to steering.

What is the maximum passenger weight?

The Tandem’Flex carries a passenger weighing up to 130 kg. Its lifting assistance and locking features make the pilot's safety maneuvers easier. The choice of seat and the transfer conditions must be assessed according to the passenger's build and support needs.

What training is required to pilot it?

A specific training is mandatory. Several formats are available: 4.5 days, 6 days or two 5-day courses, depending on the pathway. It prepares you for piloting, installing the passenger, safety maneuvers and using ski lifts. Contact us to find out about partner organizations and the pathway that fits your project.

Can you use chairlifts?

Yes, the Tandem’Flex features an assisted lifting system and locks designed for this use. Boarding and disembarking procedures are part of the pilot's training. Access conditions must be checked with the ski area and depend on the lifts used.

What terrain can you explore?

The Tandem’Flex can be used on groomed runs and in fresh snow. The choice of terrain depends on the pilot's training, the passenger's abilities and the conditions. A special outing or an off-piste route requires appropriate planning; the equipment's capabilities do not replace an assessment of the route.

What is the difference from the Tempo Duo?

The Tandem’Flex is designed for assisted skiing, with no participation required from the passenger, with a capacity of up to 130 kg and mandatory training. The Tempo Duo can accommodate a sit-skier weighing up to 90 kg, can allow active participation and offers the option of a Solo configuration with the appropriate equipment.

The Tandem also makes it possible to carry heavier people for longer periods, while reducing the physical strain on the pilot.

What are the weight and size of the Tandem’Flex?

The stated weight is 49 kg, with possible variations depending on the equipment. The handlebar is adjustable to adapt the pilot's position. Contact our team to check the dimensions of your configuration and arrange transport or storage at your facility.

L2: 77 cm
