Carbon Fibre Weaves Explained Carbon Fibre Weaves Explained

Herring Bone Weave
Also known as 2x2 twill (imagine a weave where the wool goes under 2, over 2), the most popular weave in kit-car and motorsport circles. The standard weave used by Caterham, Westfield, etc. This is the weave to choose if matching existing factory components.

Linen Weave
Sometimes referred to as 5-harness or 1x1. This is a finer weave than the herring bone/2x2twill. Negligibly stronger and heavier than the 2x2 twill, very popular in Europe and with the modified car scene.

Kevlar
Famous for use in bulletproof vests but in automotive applications such as these, generally chosen due to the yellow tinge!

Alutex
Similar to linen weave but with a silver appearance. Popular when matching components with alluminium bodied or silver cars.

Polyster
Black fibreglass, none of the strength/weight advantages of the composite materials but significantly lower in price.
