Pultruded Carbon Tubes
Precision-engineered pultruded carbon tubes from Exel, manufactured in Finland to exacting composite standards. Pultruded carbon offers excellent stiffness and light weight at a lower cost than wrapped carbon — the go-to choice for single-line kite frames, performance spars, and maker builds where weight and rigidity matter.
Available sizes:
- Round tube - 4mm x 1.25m
- Round tube - 5mm x 1.25m
- Round tube - 6mm x 1.25m
- Round tube - 8mm x 1.25m
- Round tube - 10mm x 1m
- Round tube - 12mm x 1m
- Square tube - 4mm x 4mm x 1m
- Square tube - 6mm x 6mm x 1m
Why pultruded carbon?
- Stiffer and lighter than fiberglass or wood at equivalent diameters
- More affordable than wrapped carbon — ideal for performance builds on a budget
- Consistent wall thickness and smooth finish for reliable ferrule fits
- Excellent for single-line kites, delta spars, and rokkaku frames
- Note: if replacing existing kite parts, match pultruded with pultruded — do not mix with wrapped carbon tubes
Common uses: Single-line kite frames, delta and rokkaku spars, small stunt kite components, RC airframes, antenna masts, and structural maker projects.
