LAND
SHARK PRO CARBON
The goal was straightforward: design and build a carbon
frame that would rival the world’s best in terms of weight,
strength, and silky smooth ride. The result is the new top-of-the-line
Land Shark: the Pro Carbon.
To build the Pro Carbon, John Slawta mastered
the art of tube-to-tube carbon construction, which is widely considered
to be the best (also one of the most labor-intensive) methods of building
a super-light, durable carbon frame. The process requires hand-mitering
a custom, aerospace grade composite tubeset and bonding them together.
Each tube intersection is then painstakingly hand-wrapped with carbon.
From there, a carefully crafted process is applied to achieve the
optimal carbon-to-resin ratio. The result is liquid-smooth tube joints
that are incredibly strong.
The final product is an all-carbon frame in the low
two-pound range with excellent durability, and custom tube and geometry
options galore. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Land Shark
if it didn’t also have the highest level of finishing detail
and custom paint.
