Minicat 420 Carbon Fiber Mast - UpgradeCarbon fiber masts generally have better performance than aluminum masts in several ways: Stiffness Carbon fiber masts are stiffer than aluminum masts, which means they don't bend and twist as much over time. This results in less fatigue and a longer lifespan, with some estimates suggesting that carbon masts can last twice as long as aluminum masts. Strength Carbon fiber is stronger than aluminum, and it has a higher yield point, meaning it can be
