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 16k:

Woven Carbon Fiber (16k) - refers to the number of carbon filaments (16,000 fibers) bundled together in a single strand, offering a balance of strength and flexibility. This type of carbon fiber is commonly used in applications requiring high performance and durability, such as in automotive, aerospace, and sporting goods industries. The 16k weave provides a slightly thicker, more rigid structure compared to lower filament counts, making it suitable for parts that need to withstand substantial stress and load.

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.
