Woven 3k (default option):

Woven Carbon Fiber (Standard 2x2 or 3k) - the most common carbon fiber weave. 2x2 weave woven carbon fiber is the default if listing does not specify the pattern. Woven 3K carbon fiber is a lightweight and high-strength material made from bundles of 3,000 carbon filaments (referred to as "3K") that are woven into a fabric pattern, typically in a twill or plain weave. It offers excellent tensile strength, stiffness, and durability while maintaining a sleek, smooth appearance with a distinctive checkerboard pattern.

Woven 3K (V Shaped Weave):

V Shaped Weave - also known as book match weave. It is a type of fabric where the carbon fibers are interlaced in a distinct V-shaped pattern, providing enhanced strength and flexibility. This unique weaving technique helps distribute forces evenly across the material, making it particularly useful in high-performance applications like automotive and aerospace industries. The V-shape weave also offers improved durability and resistance to deformation, making it an ideal choice for components subjected to dynamic stresses.

Forged (20% extra charge, made to order):

Forged carbon fiber - a composite material made from randomly arranged, short carbon fiber strands combined with resin and compressed in a mold. Forged carbon fiber offers greater design flexibility compared to 3K woven carbon fiber, as it can be molded into more complex shapes without compromising structural integrity. Its random fiber orientation reduces weak points caused by the directional patterns in 3K weaves, enhancing impact resistance. Additionally, it has a unique aesthetic appeal, with a marbled texture that stands out from the uniform weave of 3K carbon fiber.
