The Quickie Shark Handcycle (racing bike) features an innovative frame design which optimizes riding performance and reduces weight as well as provides increased adjustability. The Shark also has such advanced features as a vertical crank-adjustment, X - link frame separation-mechanism, and an ergonomic seat design.
Whether recreational rider or professional racer, the Quickie Shark offers a gear configuration to fit individual needs. The choices begin with a simple 7-speed touring configuration and end with our 27 speed multi-size racing configuration that offers three different shifting options.

The multi-adjustable ergonomic seat and backrest provide optimum load dispersion. Seven large and three fine seat-depth settings, as well as three adjustable seat-heights, provide riders optimal seat positioning. The backrest can also be set to any angle between 30° and 90°. |

|
The extremely lightweight state-of-the-art Three-way adjustable arm-crank is a technical masterpiece. It can be individually suited to the rider's specific seat-angle position, arm length, and riding technique. If desired, customized cranks can even be made to fit a specified measurement. |

|
The X-Link detachment mechanism, available on the two-piece frame model, is a new concept in detachable frames. This mechanism raises and supports the seat-frame section of the bike when detaching the steering fork from the bike. Once the steering fork is loaded into a vehicle, the elevated seat becomes a perfect transfer platform. |
|
|
The one-piece frame profile is designed to meet the stringent standards required at both amateur and professional competitions. Using a "Y" shaped connecting-weld between the fork and frame, along with a special internal reinforcement structure, the Shark is able to deliver superior efficiency and better overall propulsion. |

The Quickie Shark features an adjustable rear axle-sleeve that provides riders a choice between 20" and 26" rear wheels. The 20" diameter wheels are best suited for narrow winding tracks that demand greater maneuverability. The 26" wheels are best suited for straight fast tracks. Either way, this versatile axle-sleeve is up to the task. |

For individuals using a heavily reclined backrest, an optional neck support is available. This support matches the curvature of the rider's lower neck, providing additional support for long rides. |

The handgrip is one of the most important and often overlooked aspects of a hand cycle's propulsion system. This is why the Shark offers both vertical and horizontal handles. The vertical handles are also available in standard and small diameters, helpful for athletes who have more limited hand functionality and need handles they can hook their fingers around. |
|
|
Safety is an important focus in any high-speed product. This is why the Shark features optional protection plates on the top and bottom of the drive chain. These carbon-fiber plates protect riders from mud and dirt spraying off the chains, as well as protect their arms and legs from the gear mechanisms. |
