 Pro mast 100cm 2285 gram
Fluid pro stab h38 252 gram
Alu pro fuse 468 gram
Rubber mast base 36 gram
Hi Janus, is the 2285 Gramm for the 100cm Carbon Mast really true?

IT seems super light my Feeling.
Together with the Alu pro Fuse, IT would be even lighter than the old 100cm Carbon Mast with integrated Carbon Fuselage.

Thank a Lot

 Good info, but please make it to google sheets so everyone can add data or at least it will be available immediately to everyone when you add it.
And please don't mix kilograms and grams in the weight column :)
Fair point(s) !

 This one shocked me;
Titanium pro fuse: 657 gram
Wow I'm confused too - I thought the Titanium pro fuse was quoted to be ~20% weight savings, but you have the Alu Pro fuse at 468 g.

That means the Titanium pro fuse is actually +20% heavier?

Me too!
Titanium has a density of 4.5/2.7 = 1.66 x that of Al. ie 66% heavier
657/468 = 1.4 ie the titanium fuse is 40% heavier than Al.
This implies there is less material in the Ti fuse but it seems they haven't removed enough!

The pro fuse still feels heavy to me. I guess they drilled out the titanium one, and ive considered doing that on mine but the holes will just fill with water so not sure if that helps the weight at all.

Does anyone has the weight of the carbon adapter for the pro fuse for use with traditional stabs?
