Dycor’s New Dynamic Response Feet with Titanium Pyramid

Titanium pyramids are now standard with Dycor's new K2 DR2 (unassisted transfer/assisted ADL) and K3 DR3 (unassisted ADL) feet. The K2 version is 30 percent more flexible than the K3.

Dycor's DR feet are light-­weight and resilient because they rely on deflection of the varying-thickness leaf springs imbedded in the upper keel member, rather than compression of rubber bumpers. The DR feet are ground compliant because they incorporate uni, bi-, or tri-axial ankle articulation with low- or medium-profile options. Weight, including titanium pyramid and foot shell, is 312g (11 oz.).

Water-Resistant Plié 2.0 MPC Knee at SPS

Plié 2.0 is the only MPC knee guaranteed to be water-resistant and protected from occasional contact with water.
