The unique performance of the Arcus bows is the result of a unique design. The stick is basically a thin walled tube from high-density carbon fiber composite. This makes them much lighter than any other bow and at the same time much stronger and resilient. The camber of the sticks is comparatively shallow. In combination with the high resiliency the hair will show the correct distance from the stick under playing tension.
The gradients of the rigidity along the stick and the distribution of mass are the key features of every bow. Compared to solid wooden sticks, our hollow bows must follow a completely different principle, which was one reason to develop a complete new mathematical model for our bows. To achieve a perfect balance with the light sticks we have developed a new, lighter frog which is also very comfortable to hold.
The problems of tight-running screws and internal wear of the stick we have solved with the integration of metal bearings.
The ultimate strength and reliability allow us to provide the sticks of our bows with a 10-year warranty. This warranty covers all damage that might occur with proper use of the bow. We also offer a 2 year warranty for the frog and mechanism. Normal wear and tear for example on the thumb-leather and the hair is excluded from the warranty.
