Developed by \u003cstrong\u003eMatt Rini\u003c\/strong\u003e, the new design is intended to create more space through the turn, encourage earlier movement and provide stronger tip-down drive out of the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vapor Graphite combines this new shape with a \u003cstrong\u003emachined polyurethane Aero Core\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSigmatex carbon construction\u003c\/strong\u003e.
