Carbon Fibre Steering Wheels from Exit Engineering
 
Built in one piece using carbon fibre prepreg fabrics and epoxy resin, these wheels are incredibly light and strong. They feature a big section outer rim for improved grip and comfort.

Not only are these a must-have for any competitive race yacht - they are the coolest accessory for any cruiser-racer. Whatever the yacht, there are real benefits of having a carbon wheel.

Why have a carbon fibre wheel?
The massive reduction in weight from a standard wheel results in much lower rotational inertia

Reducing the rotational inertia makes it lighter and therefore more responsive for the helm

For yachts with permanently engaged wheels, there is a considerably lower power drain on the auto-pilot system

Compared with lightweight fabricated wheels (made from aluminium) which are easily bent, these carbon fibre wheels are incredibly strong

The big outer section rim provides a comfortable grip for the helm

...And they look fantastic!

Wheels are supplied with the appropriate hub fitting for the steering system specified
