140 grams: the weight of a MØNARC® Arc de Marche®
A MØNARC® Arc de Marche® weighs 140 grams. This weight comes from T700 carbon, a high-strength grade that allows a tube that is both rigid and light. On the consumer market, this grade is the highest, just below carbons for aerospace use. The arcs are designed and assembled in France.
On a long outing, a walker repeats the same movement thousands of times: with each plant, the arm lifts the pole and then swings it forward again. Every gram therefore counts, and so does every plant, because the rigid tube does not flex when the tip touches the ground.
