TeXtreme is the next generation of carbon fibre material in the sporting goods industry. It is based on using Spread Tows instead of yarns to achieve materials that are used to produce ultra light weight and high-performance products. Companies utilising the TeXtreme Technology achieve better properties on weight, stiffness, strength, etc. compared to those using other conventional carbon fibre materials, according to a press release.
The Thule Adventure Team consists of some of the world's best multisport athletes. They have an impressive list of accomplishments that include two titles in the adventure racing world championship. Multisport is an endurance sport with emphasis on orienteering, mountain biking, kayaking and running in different environments and distances.
Many sports have seen the use of TeXtreme make an immediate and dominant impact on performance like Formula 1 racing, Americas Cup, NASCAR, Le Mans, ice hockey, bicycles, tennis, and surf boards. (GK)
