Asymmetrically Flexible Carbon Fiber Plates

FLEXIBLE

Under Foot Protection | Superior Stability | Natural Movement

Eliminate compromise

Optimize your natural movements and protect your feet with MonoFlex.

The Traditional Material Compromise

Rigid carbon fiber is stiff in both directions, and can cause instability in your gait. Nylon rock plates provide light protection, but few other benefits.

Eliminate Compromise with Carbitex MONOFLEX

MonoFlex (formerly known as AFX) is stiff in one direction providing under foot protection that enhances stability. It is highly flexible in the opposite direction, flexing with your natural gait to maximize the efficiency of your movements. MonoFlex works to protect your feet and minimize over-bending to reduce fatigue.
