What defines truly high-performance footwear?
Thanks to cutting-edge materials and innovative technologies, sports footwear has become a true performance driver.
Carbon fibre-reinforced polymers push the limits further, offering enhanced structural stiffness, precise motion control and superior energy return.
The result: more power, quicker responsiveness and featherlight performance, without compromise.
XECARB®
CARBON FIBRE REINFORCED MATERIALS
Xecarb® is the range of thermoplastic composites reinforced with carbon fibre.
By combining varying fibre contents with different polymer matrices, it is possible to develop materials with tailored mechanical and performance properties, designed to meet specific application requirements.
PROPERTIES
Stiffness
Higher stiffness provides maximum support and protection during sports activities, ensuring precise and secure control of every movement.
Impact Resistance
Carbon fibre-reinforced materials retain their performance even at low temperatures, with minimal differences between -30 °C and +23 °C.
Rebound
The high stiffness of carbon fibre translates into explosive energy return, ideal for supporting intense activity and high-energy movements.
Density vs Performance
High-level performance without compromise: reduced weight and slim profiles, with mechanical properties consistently at their peak.
PERFORMANCE COMPARISON
MECHANICAL RESISTANCE
The carbon fiber reinforcement ensures significantly enhanced mechanical performance, including a marked increase in tensile modulus, making the material stiffer and more responsive under load.
LIGHTWEIGHT
Carbon fiber enables high mechanical performance without compromising lightness. The balance between stiffness, strength and low weight makes the material ideal for high-performance applications where lightness is a key requirement.
