Cedrus adapters are precision-machined from 7000 series aluminum and feature of a combination of M8 and M10 stainless steel and titanium connection hardware. The resulting interface is as stiff or stiffer than any OEM connection, with the added benefit of modularity. This ensures the mast remains forwards and backwards compatible, serviceable, and repairable if needed. Evolution adapters ship with custom 6/4 Titanium Gold PVD coated Torx fasteners.
