The Racer Carbon 3 Rocer development process led to performance, biomechanics, energy efficiency and longevity on the streets
I visited the Das Creation Center in Ivoti (Rio Grande do Sul) to follow the development of Racer Carbon 3 closely, the new generation of the brand’s super carbon board. More than a final product, what I have seen was a meticulous engineering process, the result of two years of laboratory tests and intensive field. There were exactly 6,622 guided kilometers until the model was ready to reach the market.
Who led the visit was Neemiah Schmitt, coordinator of the design of line performance, who showed all the stages of tennis development. From digital prototypes to 3D printed models (used to simplify visual tests) to the creation of molds and physical components. What you see there is a work that mixes creativity, biomechanics and industrial precision.
Racing carbon emerged in 2021 as the first sneakers with a carbon fiber plate in the line. In 2023 the second generation arrived, already recognized as a super sneaker. Now, in 2025, the third version has a remarkable technical leap: according to the brand, it offers 15% more cushioning compared to carbon 2 and 35% more reactivity.
The skin is made of s-knit in English (a technique that guarantees greater resistance in multidirectional fiber), which provides support, precise regulation on the foot, breathability and durability. The 100% carbon carbon plate at carbon speed has gained new geometry and greater rigidity to increase propulsion. The USA Speed Tech Foam inter -tank, a mixture of Peba and Eva who tries to balance lightness, the return of power and the duration. Already the only one is made of all time, focused to guarantee greater traction in the asphalt.
One of the most important changes in this new edition was in Rocker in the region in the foreground. The combination of curved format (which helps in the transition from the past) and the density of the foam has been redesigned to make tennis less aggressive, serving not only to the elite runners, but also to a wider audience. The goal, according to Neemia, is to offer greater stability and prolonged comfort. “The line not only thinks about the wear of tennis, but also thinks about the ligament and muscle wear of the corridors,” he says. “Racer Carbon 3 focuses on performance, but also on the conservation of athletes’ health.”
Already the creation of -Mezzo has requested a technical chain of industrial processes: the foam mixture passes through the injector, the shape of the child, the autoclave, the preform, the conformation and the cooling before being glued to the skin. And this choice of material was not even accidental. The line was based on a study published in the magazine Science Science written by C. Aimar, L. Orgéas, S. Rolland, L. Baillya and D. Ferré Senis. The article shows that 100%PEBA foam, although lighter and softer, has faster degradation because it is more porous and susceptible to microfissures.
The tests performed at the Ivoti Innovation Center demonstrated it. A 100% PEBA model had loss of energy (called energy loss) by 21% when new and 40% after 500 km of use. Already the mixture used in Racer Carbon 3 had losses of 22% and 27% respectively, showing a much more stable duration curve.
Better for the hip
Another curious fact of the tests: the slightly more solid damping, in addition to improving the tennis response, has also been more efficient in preserving the hip joint. This is because it generates a more straight carrier in the past, while the softer cushioning projects the joints in a movement considered less natural.
At the end of the visit it was easy to see that Racer Carbon 3 is not just a product update. It is the result of a wider discussion on biomechanics, energy efficiency and longevity in race. This discussion, which now, with more and more corridors of roads, must be much wider than simple performance.
