Carbon Fiber ATV Axle Assemblies

A Revolution in ATV Axle Design and Performance

U.S. Patented Design

The BAC Carbon Fiber Axle assembly design utilizes the highest strength carbon fiber material which is fabricated via a filament winding machine (not hand-rolled carbon fabric).  This results in the highest strength/lightest weight axle possible.  The BAC Carbon Fiber Axle is a homogeneous shaft that has no keyway cuts or snap ring grooves cut into the carbon fiber.  Keyways are provided in an integral aircraft aluminum alloy sleeve which is pressed and bonded (fused) over the entire outside diameter of the carbon fiber shaft.  This patented sleeve design encapsulates the O.D. of the carbon fiber shaft in all the critical areas. 

Reduced Unsprung Weight!
The unsprung weight (which includes axles, wheels, rims and tires, etc.) movement of a vehicle, due to an imperfect racing surface, is inversely proportional to that unsprung weight.  Less unsprung weight will have more grip when tracking over the imperfect surface.

Increased Acceleration!
The BAC Carbon Fiber ATV Axle assembly is the lightest assembly ever produced at 7.42 lbs! This amazing decrease in rotational mass allows for a greater acceleration rate of the ATV.

Hillshooter & Drag Designs
Although the BAC Carbon Fiber ATV Axle assembly is the lightest ever produced, it is also the strongest axle ever produced (ref. Ultimate Load/Deflection Chart)  The superior strength is due to optimized laminate construction of carbon fiber/epoxy of which the majority of the fibers are oriented along the X-axis of the tube. The composite material properties, and ultimately the axle design, were both derived from BAC's highly successful carbon fiber sprint car torque tube program.
