NOVA Sugarcane Offset Cane Review

Our review

The NOVA Sugarcane Offset Cane is a single-point everyday cane designed around two features that matter for daily use. The offset shaft angles the tip slightly forward of the grip, centering your weight over the tip rather than beside it, which gives you better balance feedback with each step than a standard straight shaft. The cushioned ergonomic grip reduces palm pressure for users who lean on the cane regularly throughout the day. The cane is available in a range of designer patterns, which is a practical point: a cane people like carrying is one that actually comes along, rather than getting left at home. Weight capacity is 300 lb and height adjusts by push-button.

The Sugarcane does not fold, so it is not the choice for travelers who need a pack-away cane. It is a single point rather than a self-standing quad base, so it will tip if you let go. It sits in a different lane than the RMS Quad Cane, which is the tool when maximum stability is the priority, and a different lane than the Drive Folding Cane, which is the tool when packability is the priority. The Sugarcane is for the user whose everyday need is a comfortable, well-balanced single-point cane they will actually reach for.

Bottom line: A comfortable everyday single-point cane. The offset shaft improves weight centering and the cushioned grip reduces palm pressure. Available in patterns for users who want a cane they will reach for.
