Besides the Process, What’s the Difference?

The bottom line differences are appearance, weight, and cost. For the visually driven, the appearance of wet vs. dry carbon fiber is a matter of personal taste. From a performance perspective, both share similar strength and rigidity, however the dry carbon fiber component will be nearly 70% lighter than the weight of the already considerably lighter wet carbon fiber (which is notably lighter than plastic composite or lightweight metals, utilized in stock components). That weight savings comes with an equally notable increase in cost due to the previously mentioned zero-tolerance manufacturing processes required for dry carbon fiber. In both cases, wet or dry, GruppeM carbon fiber components are designed and manufactured to achieve a finished product that represents the ultimate carbon fiber performance products without compromise.
