Sunrise Medical UK QS7 X page checked 4 November 2026: from £2,250, 6.7 kg transport, 9.3 kg fixed-front total, up to 45% smaller fold, 20 configurations, full spec ranges, 110/140 kg limits, ISO 7176-19. THIIS checked same day: launch 23 October 2026, FrontFold adds 400 g, QS7 R rigid sibling.
What Front Fold does
The QS7 X uses folding technology adapted from the RGK Octane FX, according to Sunrise Medical, to fold the front frame underneath the seat. The company says the mechanism reduces transport size by up to 45% compared with conventional folding, producing a package that fits more easily into car boots and public transport. The folding action itself builds on the QS5 X's cross-brace design, with redesigned kinematics intended to make folding and unfolding smoother and to keep the chair stable and upright when folded. The FrontFold mechanism adds 400 g, a figure the trade press reports from the launch, which is the trade-off for the smaller package.
Weight, size and configuration
The headline numbers, all from Sunrise Medical's UK specification page, are: transport weight from 6.7 kg, total weight for the fixed-front version from 9.3 kg, and a maximum user weight of 110 kg for the Front Fold version and 140 kg for the Hybrid version (136 kg with the crash-test option). Seat width runs from 320 to 500 mm and seat depth from 340 to 500 mm, with front seat height from 400 to 560 mm, rear seat height from 370 to 500 mm and backrest height from 250 to 475 mm. Rear wheels are 24 or 25 inches, front wheels from 3 to 7 inches, and the chair is offered in 22 colours. The frame is aerospace-grade 7000-series aluminium with an oval tube profile, and the chair is crash tested to ISO 7176-19. The series offers 20 frame configurations, which Sunrise Medical says is 35% more than the next leading competitor, across Fixed Front, Hybrid, Front Fold and Pro versions.
QS7 X specification table: transport weight from 6.7 kg; total weight, fixed front, from 9.3 kg; maximum user weight, Front Fold 110 kg and Hybrid 140 kg (136 kg with crash-test option); seat width 320 to 500 mm; seat depth 340 to 500 mm; front seat height 400 to 560 mm; rear seat height 370 to 500 mm; backrest height 250 to 475 mm; rear wheels 24 or 25 inches; colours 22; crash tested to ISO 7176-19.
Who the QS7 X suits, and who should look elsewhere
The QS7 X suits active users who want a folding chair for transport but do not want to give up the rigid feel and efficient propulsion of a fixed-frame chair. Its open-frame design removes tubing found on traditional box-frame folders, which Sunrise Medical says reduces bulk and improves handling. Heavier users should check the Hybrid version, which carries up to 140 kg, rather than assuming the 110 kg Front Fold limit applies across the range. Users who need a rigid chair rather than a folder should look at the QS7 R, the rigid sibling launched alongside the QS7 X in October 2026, which is a different chair rather than a variant of this one. Anyone choosing between them should try both through a dealer demonstration, since folded size, transfer ease and ride feel cannot be judged from a specification table alone.
What to confirm before ordering
Confirm the price for your exact configuration, since £2,250 covers a standard configuration only and extras are excluded. Confirm which frame version you are ordering, because weight limits and folded size differ between the Fixed Front, Hybrid, Front Fold and Pro versions. Confirm compatibility with any power assist device you use, since the Hybrid version is the one Sunrise Medical positions for higher weights and power assist use. And confirm the specification at order time: Sunrise Medical reserves the right to change specifications without notice, so the numbers in this guide are a snapshot of the published specification checked on 4 November 2026, not a substitute for the dealer's quote.
