Meet the Shark, the new recreational handbike from Quickie. The innovative construction does not only significantly optimise the riding performance of the handbike, but also reduces its weight and increases its adjustability. The state-of-the-art design of the 3-way adjustable, extremely light crank is a technical masterpiece in itself. It can be individually suited to seat angle and position, arm length and riding technique. If desired customized cranks can be made to measure.

X-Link Detachment Mechanism 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.

Stiff Frame-Connection 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 manoeuvrability. The 26" wheels are best suited for straight fast tracks. Either way, this versatile axle-sleeve is up to the task.
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.
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. Interested in a stylish bike? The Quickie Shark offers a selection of standard, glossy and matt frame finishes. In total, there are over 26 different frame colors to choose from.
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.
