Vibration

Driveshafts made with wet carbon fibers contain many imperfections and air bubbles, these imperfections affect the overall strength of the driveshaft and create imbalances which cause vibrations at high RPM. Our driveshafts are made with dry pre-preg carbon fibers which do not have these issues.

In order to achieve a similar level of strength, wet carbon fiber driveshafts have to be made much thicker. This extra thickness adds weight and further affects the rotational balance of the driveshaft. The extra weight also affects performance.

Having a lighter driveshaft has many benefits including:

  • More wheel horsepower

  • Faster acceleration

  • Higher RPM

  • Increased clutch responsiveness

Our driveshafts are lighter than any other types.
