Extreme lightness and superior rigidity: The OEM BMW M5 G9X brace, manufactured in AISI 10MnMg-F micro-alloyed steel, weighs approximately 745 g per unit. The Karbonius version reduces the weight to just 250 g per unit, achieving a reduction of up to 66%.
- Lower front-end mass
- Improved weight distribution
- Greater steering precision
- More direct chassis response
Advanced carbon fiber engineering: Manufactured using a monoblock oneshot process, in a single operation without joints or welds.
High-modulus unidirectional (UD) carbon fibers, oriented exclusively according to actual load directions
Multi-material construction with structural fabrics and UD laminates
Internal stainless steel insert for maximum geometric precision, durability, and reliability at anchor points
The result is a true structural component, extremely rigid, lightweight, and designed to withstand loads exceeding those of the original part.
Structural validation in independent laboratory: This strut tower brace has been subjected to:
FEA (Finite Element Analysis): Real load testing on bench performed by AIMEN, an independent reference laboratory in automotive and advanced materials
Testing confirms that the Karbonius brace exceeds the strength levels of the OEM component, demonstrating that weight reduction improves the overall rigidity of the assembly.
Driving benefits
- Greater rigidity between strut towers
- Less front-end flex under load
- More precise and stable steering
- Greater confidence in corners and at high speed
- Better airbox support and stability
