Given that they haven't been around that long, we shouldn't be at all surprised to see CF composites continue to evolve. This material is part of that, but isn't the only thing out there, nor will it be the last.

One of the more immediate changes involves the resins, some of which have more tolerance to flexing.

Love it or hate it CF is new and evolving very quickly.

Of course, after they take your money, they can come back two years later and tell you about issues and how new versions address them better.

BTW - steel is evolving also, so I'm sure we'll still be debating steel vs CF for decades to come.
