- Strong and powerful XT5 blank, resulting in reduced blank diameter with a higher torsional twist resistance and greater resistance to overloading
- High Pressure Carbon - Shimano High Pressure Carbon is a process which creates stronger, more responsive blanks. Pressure is applied to the blank surface during curing (heating) which evenly distributes the resin through the carbon fibre matrix. The result is a much stronger, more consistent performance and improved responsive
