Built for a reason
At Diadem, design is a decision. These are the materials and constructions inside the gear — described the way Diadem describes them.
01 — Axis, Nova V3 and Elevate V3 tennis rackets
Kraibon
Motorsport-grade elastomer that dampens harmful vibration.
Kraibon is an elastomer widely used in motorsports and aerospace engineering. Built into the frame, it dampens harmful vibrations for comfort, and on the Elevate it increases both flexibility and stability without sacrificing power.

02 — Axis (FS3), Nova V3 (FS2) and Elevate rackets
Flex Stabilization System
Carbon ribs, HMT Carbon and high-density foam placed where the frame needs them.
Diadem's Flex Stabilization System (FS) combines carbon-fibre ribs with HMT Carbon and high-density foam in targeted areas of the frame. FS2 on the Nova V3 uses a double-rib structure; FS3 on the Axis uses three ribs — for stability, power and a responsive feel.
