Stéphane Houdet & Corima : An alliance serving performance
For several years now, Stéphane Houdet, wheelchair tennis champion and multiple Paralympic medallist, has trusted Corima to support his performances at the highest level. This partnership is not just a collaboration between an athlete and an equipment manufacturer: it's a genuine co-construction based on innovation, precision and excellence.
Expertise meets the highest standards
Stéphane Houdet is renowned for his high technical demands and his commitment to the development of his equipment. In Corima, he has found a partner to match his ambitions. With over 30 years' experience in the manufacture of carbon wheels, Corima has adapted its know-how to the specific requirements of parasport, particularly wheelchair tennis.
Each wheel is designed in the Loriol-sur-Drôme workshops, with particular attention paid to lightness, rigidity and aerodynamics. These characteristics are essential for an athlete like Stéphane, where every split second and every movement counts.
Innovation at the heart of the partnership
This partnership has enabled Corima to push back the limits of carbon technology in a field that is still relatively unexplored: wheelchair tennis. Thanks to Stéphane Houdet's feedback from the field, Corima's engineers were able to refine the wheel profiles and select the carbon fibres best suited to the specific constraints of this sport.
The wheels developed for Stéphane offer exceptional responsiveness, optimum power transmission and enhanced manoeuvrability, decisive assets on the most demanding courts. It's thanks to this accumulated experience in top-level sport that we've been able to launch wheels as accomplished as the Allure Carbon Fit to enhance the everyday experience.
Performances that speak for themselves and ongoing innovation
With Corima, Stéphane Houdet has continued his quest for medals and titles, notably at Grand Slam tournaments and the Paralympic Games. This partnership is a perfect illustration of how technology can serve human performance by adapting to the real needs of athletes. The quest for joint performance continues, with the aim of developing new equipment to help Stéphane achieve his next goals.
