Matrx MX2 Back

The Invacare Matrx MX2 Backrest is an ultra-lightweight carbon fiber wheelchair back designed for active users who need trunk and pelvic support without unnecessary weight or bulk. Engineered for performance, the MX2 combines a contoured carbon fiber shell with a low-profile design that supports freedom of movement, efficient propulsion, and stable seated positioning.

The back shell is shaped to provide support to the lower trunk and pelvis while allowing room for shoulder and scapular movement, making it a strong option for active manual wheelchair users. Carbon fibers are oriented to provide flex, suspension, and stability, helping the backrest move naturally with the user while maintaining postural alignment. The MX2 is available with fixed mount hardware for minimal weight or quick release hardware for easier removal and transport.

Carbon Fiber Support for Active Users

The Matrx MX2 Backrest is designed around the needs of active wheelchair users who rely on efficient upper-body movement throughout the day. Its carbon fiber shell provides a balance of strength, controlled flex, and lightweight performance, helping support the pelvis and lower trunk without interfering with shoulder motion.

This makes the MX2 especially useful for users who self-propel, transfer frequently, or want a backrest that provides stability while preserving mobility and independence.

Hardware & Adjustment Options

The MX2 is available with either fixed mount hardware or quick release hardware.

• Fixed Mount Hardware is designed for users who want the lightest, cleanest setup with added suspension and minimal hardware weight.
• Quick Release Hardware allows the backrest to be removed more easily, which can be useful for transport, wheelchair breakdown, or users who need frequent access to the chair frame.

Both hardware styles support positioning adjustments, including height, depth, angle, and rotation, allowing the backrest to be set up for the user’s posture, wheelchair frame, and functional needs.

Cover & Positioning Support

The MX2 includes a breathable Spacetex cover designed for comfort and airflow during active daily use. Models 9″ and higher include leatherette side panels for added durability and a finished appearance.

A sacral/lumbar positioning pad is included to help fine-tune lower back support and improve seated stability.
