Yes, I've posted this on other threads. Its is Forged CF which is a very very strong epoxy (plastic feel) with tons of chopped short carbon fibers. It is strong but not near)y as strong as real carbon fiber is when used in anisotropic form.

I’m sure they’ll sell out fast on Friday, but it won’t be to me. I’m not buying the first edition on anything anymore. I’ll wait until gen 2.

Huh?! They said multiple times the XL would come in around 3lb. FAIL3.7 pounds on the XL

So the regular CFX size will weigh close to the regular predator. Makes no sense to me.

That 3.7 with the attachment method. Is that with a cam buckle or Amsteel?

Those bracket teeth look rounded? How is that going to work?
Also, $20 says we will see them fail where the post meets the bracket.

Exactly. The whole reason I was interested is because of the smaller platform. I figured if the XL would be 3lb, maybe the smaller one would get close to the mythical 2lb mark. Big flop
Well F me. I was being told the same thing about the XL. Guess it wasn't possible. ***.
Wonder how many will break in the first few months/generations. Hope none of the test dummies get hurt.
Ohhhhh yes. This is why I’m here. Things are finally getting saucy. I’m disappointed by the weight reports too…
now let’s do like Usher and let it burn…
No seriously though, i was starting to worry this thread wouldn’t meet the standards of a Tethrd thread around here. Glad to see my fears were for naught.

With carbon would it work to try rather than typical teeth something like a single bevel that has some mild serration?
Your teeth may - or may not - get knocked out or get chipped when the platform fails. Probably best to see a dentist with questions about teeth.
I have tried the carbon platform prototypes and have had zero issues with them and I'm 240lbs. I am disappointed to see the weight they are advertising. I can't speak about dimensions because they haven't overtly released that info yet. But if Arsenal is smart, they are paying attention and making a new Gen platform with minor tweaks for next year. If they do that, or Cruzr makes minor tweaks to the Seeker they will do well sales wise.
The carbon fiber will still have several pros to it even if the weight is the same. Noise is decreased big time if using a buckle. I have never had cold issues through a platform but I know some of you say it is a real thing. The carbon fiber will eliminate that issue also. Aside from those two pros, I will sit back and watch the hate flow through you.
oh yeah, I'm not saying the new tethrd platform is bad I just don't see the need for carbon unless its super light. Same with the carbon bows.
I like thinking of tweaks for products, but I can't really think of one for the arsenal platform. The only one I can think of for the Seeker is not making it cast, but I doubt they'll do that lol.
Several smart people here have already made design ideas for the Razor platform and how to improve it in another thread. One of the changes apparently already had Arsenal making the change or replacing parts. I don't own one but i own eight of their sticks and LOVE them.
