The modulus of CF (T700 vs T1000) is not good, better, best. Like steel, lower modulus is tougher and more flexible while higher modulus is stronger but more brittle.

Using only high modulus CF would be like making a steel bike frame out of high carbon knife steel. Sure, it would technically be more rigid for the weight, but it would be much more fragile than the medium to low carbon steel used.


Wondering about a manufacturer's carbon is like wondering about their lay up procedure. It's really the manufacturer's business, and it is only really offered when someone is using the misunderstanding surrounding carbon modulus as marketing - which is dishonest.
