Each Shark Seating system is built upon advanced suspension technology, which is engineered to endure severe impacts and deliver unparalleled ride comfort. Our FLEX and FLEXpod suspensions reduce vertical, lateral, and fore-aft forces to improve control and reduce operator fatigue in the harshest marine situations. From the full-size FLEX system, which offers 225 mm (9 in) of ultra-smooth travel, to the ultra-compact FLEXpod, suited for narrow installs and weight-sensitive constructions, each unit delivers accurate performance, corrosion resistance, and proven longevity. The HD systems have load-bearing upgrades for heavy-duty applications and third-party seat compatibility. Radar-silent FLEX and FLEXpod use non-metallic composite materials to support low-RCS applications that require stealth and operational security.
