Cheetah® Xcel

Overview

Sprint to win.


Reach your top speed. For decades, most of the world’s most accomplished track and field lower limb parathletes have competed on the iconic Cheetah sports prosthesis.

The Cheetah Xcel is an estimated one-third as powerful as a native ankle, returning approximately 90% of its energy when the athlete is running.  The Cheetah’s curve compresses at impact, storing energy and absorbing high levels of stress that would otherwise be absorbed by the athlete’s knee, hip and lower back.



Details

Product description


Cheetah Xcel is the next generation sprinting foot from Össur that is specifically designed for explosive short-distance sprints. The Cheetah’s curve compresses at impact, storing energy and absorbing high levels of stress that would otherwise be absorbed by the athlete’s knee, hip and lower back. The carbon blade features a more extreme curve and the dynamic shape allows for the foot to flex and give a powerful energy kick. A long toe provides better ground contact, while the plantar-flexed pylon handles forward progression. The Cheetah Xcel is an estimated one-third as powerful as a native ankle, returning approximately 90 -95% of its energy when the athlete is running.


The Nike soles have been designed exclusively for the Össur Cheetah Range and have been improved for the blade to provide specialized traction.
