as far as i am aware they are the exact same construction, fibreglass and aramid fibre (kevlar) reinforced, the other models are just paided a solid colour, wheras the "carbon" ones have a carbon look finish.<br />
<br />
the texalium finish icaros on the other hand (the silvery twill weave ones) are made from texalium, which looks kinda cool, but is just fibreglass with an aluminium coating.<br></br>

I guess I was misunderstanding about them. I though they are made of carbon. So it is just the look right? <br></br>
