There are two different levels of BallisTec Carbon Construction:
BALLISTEC HI-MOD
On the Hi-Mod frames, we use the same base structure, but a sophisticated mix of high and ultra-high modulus fibers are used to create the stiffening network. Due to their extreme rigidity, we can gain tremendous stiffness with less material, which keeps the overall structure weight to a minimum.
BALLISTEC CARBON
The same structure, lay-up and shapes as the Hi-MOD versions but the stiffness and ride feel are dialed in with a higher percentage of intermediate-modulus fibers. This additional material adds a slight amount of weight but enables us to offer BallisTec technology to more riders.
