- 100% carbon construction for minimal weight
- Compatible with standard Euro Pin system
- Ideal for those who prioritize lightness
Q: What is the difference between aluminum extensions and carbon extensions?
The two versions offer different features:
- Aluminum (V8 EUR/US): Alu 6061 T6, weight/solidity balance
- Carbon (V8 EUR CARBON): 100% Carbon, maximum lightness
- Weight: Carbon is significantly lighter
- Stiffness: Carbon has superior stiffness
- Price: Carbon is a superior investment
Q: What is a carbon RDM extension used for?
