Yes.Carbon or Graphite fibres are a man-made material which is 3 times stronger and 5 times stiffer than steel. This enables us to produce products that are much lighter but the equivalent strength of steel. Kevlar is lighter than carbon fibre and steel but not as stiff as carbon fibre. This makes our “hybrid” material of Carbon/Kevlar even more appealing, not to mention the available colors.
