Carbon fibers are the result of the carbonization of synthetic polymer fibers or organic substances.
The result is a composite of fibers significantly finer than a human hair.
Carbon fiber tubes feature extremely high stiffness and bending strength at very low weight.
Carbon fibers are woven and bonded with resin components.
Leki's carbon tubes are manufactured using pre-impregnation technology. This technology consists of cutting impregnated fabrics before superimposing them in layers
specially structured. After curing in the oven, during which the resin components react with each other and the carbon fibers bond to form a strong matrix,
the cores are removed.

The layered structure of the different carbon fabrics is decisive for the rigidity of the carbon tube.
The quality of the raw material is also decisive for the quality of the tube.

Leki works with different types of carbon. HM Carbon features maximum carbon fiber content, while fiberglass content is used for entry-level poles.
These tubes containing fiberglass are so-called carbon composite tubes.

There are different constructions which differ in the proportion of glass fibers.

HRC (HIGHEST RACING CARBON)

- Weight per meter: from 55 g/m
- Used in high-end pole models

PRC (PERFORMANCE RACING CARBON)

- Weight per meter: from 70 g/m
- Different versions are available

CC (CARBON COMPOSITE)

- Weight per meter: from 91 g/m
- Used in entry-level models

The benefits of carbon:

- Very light material
- Maximum rigidity for minimum weight
- Greater rigidity than aluminum for a tube of the same diameter
- Optimal pendulum movement during dynamic movements
- Numerous construction possibilities with different fiber and laminated structure technologies
