With our all new proprietary Helix2 wrap, we’ve launched rod power and lightness to another level.
CTS blanks were already well known for their incredible power-to-weight ratios thanks to our VeroCore™ Carbon Helix Core technology.
Now, with our larger and longer blanks, such as the S7 Surf series, we’ve designed a blank structure that offers not one but two helical cores – carefully wrapped inside dual uni-directional carbon fibres.
Helix2 is used extensively in our latest generation S7 blanks (from Feb 2018)
Dual helix wraps sandwich and encase the zero-axis (lengthwise) fibres to reduce fibre buckling in high load situations.
Blanks are a lot more efficient and light weight
Wall-thickness-to-diameter ratios are reduced, which increase power to weight significantly
Blanks are better able to withstand compressive loads that cause buckling failure
Allows for even lower resin content to push the boundaries of fibre:resin ratios
