TeXtreme chosen by world's best adventure team

TeXtreme is the next generation of carbon fiber 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 utilizing the TeXtreme Technology achieve better properties on weight, stiffness, strength, etc. compared to those using other conventional carbon fiber materials.

The Thule Adventure Team consists of some of the world’s best multisport athletes. They have an impressive list of accomplishments, 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.

The team has a racing K1 kayak which are special made for multi-sports. According to Martin Flinta, Team Leader of Thule Adventure Team, the team wanted to reduce weight but keep the strength and with TeXtreme, they could achieve just that.   

Many sports have seen the use of TeXtreme make an immediate and dominant impact on performance, among others, Formula 1 racing, Americas Cup, NASCAR, Le Mans, ice hockey, bicycles, tennis and surf boards.

TeXtreme Spread Tow reinforcements is the ultimate choice for making ultra-light composites. TeXtreme Technology is flexible and tow-size independent which enables development of optimized reinforcement solutions tailor-made for specific application needs. Utilization of TeXtreme Spread Tow carbon fabrics and carbon UD tapes by manufacturers of advanced aerospace, industrial and sports products confirms that 20-30% lighter composite parts can be produced with improved mechanical properties and superior surface smoothness.

TeXtreme is a registered trademark owned by Oxeon AB. Founded in 2003, Oxeon has quickly established itself as the market leader in Spread Tow reinforcements with its products marketed under the brand name TeXtreme.
