DOLOMITE® JAZZ > BACKGROUND
 New Dolomite® Jazz provides a series of innovative features combined with a stylish design allowing for a strong and
differentiated marketing campaign versus the numerous X-folding rollators.

DOLOMITE® JAZZ > POSITIONING & TARGET GROUP
The product is primarily positioned in the high-end part of the private pay rollator segment.
Jazz’ target group is active people with minor issues with mobility or stability. Typically, severely disabled users are
not using the Jazz. The application is rather extended stability to compensate for geriatric handicaps and to provide a
moving bag for shopping and groceries.
Coordination, upper and lower body stability is still on a reasonable level. The user usually uses a minor walking aid
(mainly canes) besides the rollator, especially inside buildings.
The product is mainly used outside the living environment (80%), not as much indoors (20%).
Variations can occur in different countries.
Due to the remaining level of activity the user often travels by bus or car to various (short distance) destinations.

DOLOMITE® JAZZ > PRODUCT FEATURES > SIDE FOLDING FRAME
The new frame with a side to side folding
mechanism clearly differentiates Jazz from the
abundance of X-foldable rollators on the market
and from the previous Jazz.
Folds easily by pulling the clearly visible folding
strap in the middle of the seat plate and by
pressing the push handles inwards.
Seat plate and basket fold along with the Rollator.
Rollator can be lifted by picking it up from
the seat plate without it folding. There is also
no finger entrapment possible when you
push the seat plate downwards to unfold.

DOLOMITE® JAZZ > PRODUCT FEATURES > GAIT AREA
Ergonomic frame design allowing a natural walking
position inside the rollator.
Gait area on new Jazz is slightly bigger than old Jazz
(214 in² vs 203 in²) but the main improvement on the
walking space is related to the positioning of the push
handles.
OLD JAZZ
NEW JAZZ
Distance between the seat plate and the back side of
the push handles has increased on the new Jazz (+ 7cm),
which significantly reduces the possibility of bumping
the knees against the seat during walking.
The fork ratio (large front fork, small rear fork) makes it
easier to walk in and outside the rollator.
Gait area new Jazz= 12.5” x 17.16”= 214 in²
Basket area new Jazz= 8.5” x 17.16”= 145.8 in²

DOLOMITE® JAZZ > PRODUCT FEATURES > BRAKE SYSTEM
Extremely efficient and easy to use braking system:
Running brake: force required 40N
Parking brake: force required 35N
Light and easily usable for users with a slight
disability: brake handle is shaped slightly outwards
for easier manipulating and better access.
Braking cables are fulling integrated into the frame
providing a clean look and also prevent from
catching objects found outside or in the home.

DOLOMITE® JAZZ > PRODUCT FEATURES > BRAKE SYSTEM
The new Jazz introduces a non linear braking
system for ease of use and effectiveness. The
braking force that needs to be applied by the user
remains the same both at the beginning and at the
end of the braking cycle. Here is how exactly:
The principle of a lever states that by reducing
the short arm on a lever (and maintaining the
input force), the output force increases.
Lever in balance
Distance short
arm starts to
decrease here
 During braking, once the brake lever is almost
completely up, and the brake pad starts touching
the wheel, a higher output force is needed to fully
apply the brakes because there is more resistance
(brake pad touching wheel).
Instead of increasing the input force (= user
pushing harder on brake lever), the distance of the
short arm is being decreased at the end of the
braking, resulting in a higher output force = non
linear braking system.

DOLOMITE® JAZZ > PRODUCT FEATURES > SEAT & HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Rigid seat equipped with an easily removable
soft, padded cover attached via velcro. Provides a
comfortable and safe place to sit onto when the
user needs to rest during walking. Folds along with
the rollator.
Easily washable PU cover. Fabric and cover are
fully integrated into one and other and are fire
retardant.
The velcro on the seat plate has small
grabbing hooks which still allow the
user to sit on the seat plate (without
padding) without his clothes instantly
hooking into it.
Toolless push handle height adjustment
1) Loosen the push handles by pushing the locking
lever upwards
2) Place the push handle at the desired height
3) Release the locking lever. A click can be heard
when the locking lever automatically goes
down again. The push handle has now been
fixated into the correct position
