What's the end goal of the carbon? Light weight? Is carbon flexible? I've always thought it to be brittle. Strong, but brittle.

from what ive been told, lighter ... its suppose to flex with the impact than return. less bounce?

the technical riders like Barbiebat and Wolfee have jumped with one, since I cant get out until the weekend for a review. From other reports, they have zero bend, or damage.

dunno what type of carbon they use, but i was expecting that cool carbon weave they use on my $6000 roadbike, guess that stuff is too light for this application.

next to arrive is the F-Lynn sides, and the carbon d-tube.

I love carbon!!!
