carbon fiber frame
Stiff, light structure
A carbon fiber frame is a structural framework made from carbon fiber composite—strong, lightweight material consisting of thin carbon filaments bound in resin.
The term appears most often in cycling, where carbon fiber frames dominate high-end bicycles: She upgraded to a carbon fiber frame to shave weight.
Also common in automotive, aerospace, and sporting equipment contexts where strength-to-weight ratio matters.
