Its minimal weight makes carbon an ideal material for a wide range of sports equipment. Ultralight golf clubs, carbon paddles, bicycles or skateboards.

Sports equipment made from carbon offers consumers a number of advantages. Custom rigidity, chemical stability, lightness of the material, specific surface design and pleasant touch and feel are just some of the characteristics that make the carbon-fibre fabric a spectacular material. Pre-preg carbon is used primarily in aircraft and automotive construction as an innovative material. However, the mechanical, technical and tactile properties also make it an absolute high-end material for top athletes and hobby athletes alike.

The objective here likewise is an optimization of the sports equipment in order to improve the performance of the athletes constantly and on a lasting basis as a result. This does not make other original materials, such as wood, aluminium or steel, obsolete, but rather creates synergies with carbon that turn the sports equipment of the future into real hi-tech gear. Nordic walking poles or hiking sticks have a carbon content of 80 to 90 percent. This results in a perfect combination of shock absorption, tensile strength and rigidity. For example, Nordic walking poles with a length of 1.20 meters made from thermoset carbon-fibre fabric weigh a mere 200 grams and are thus absolute lightweights.
