EXCEPTIONAL STRENGTH

The real life strength test.
The 29,0000 mile non-stop Barcelona World Race revealed the ultimate result - post-race testing on Paprec Virbac 2’s D1 rigging showed no strength or stiffness degradation during training and racing 29,000 miles.

Carbon composites exhibit very high fatigue life when subjected to nominal stress levels.

Tension-tension fatigue testing on EC6 cables initially revealed the extraordinary longevity of EC6.

After 1 million cycles of the fatigue test, 100% strength was retained.
