New Sport Series - The Professional and Extra models are made of hand layed-up carbon fibre and are hollow to reduce weight. The Sport model uses a new process which involves injection molding the solid carbon fiber frame. Rigorous testing has shown no reduction in strength, however the weight of the Sport Model is just under two pounds. The Professional and Extra Models weight just over a pound and about 1.5 pound respectively.
