Garrett AT-series Complete Carbon-Fiber S-Shaft

Price: $159 + shipping (black), $179 + shipping (colored).
How to order ↓

Our "standard" complete S-shaft system for the Garrett AT-series (AT Pro, AT Gold, AT MAX) features an all-carbon-fiber upper S-shaft, which includes 4 cuff-adjustment holes in the "bottom" tube of the upper shaft, and a plastic end cap. In addition, this "bottom tube" of the upper shaft is roughly 1 1/2" longer than the stock Garrett shaft. This extra length allows more distance to be achieved between the handle and the arm cuff, which results in improved ergonomics. The upper shaft is available in lengths of either 35" or 42", with a lower rod of 26" or 20", respectively (both offering maximum shaft extension length of roughly 58").

The top tube of the upper shaft features one of our heavy duty, adjustable, removable clamp-type cam locks, which enables rock-solid attachment of the matching lower rod.

Additional lower rods can be purchased with any complete shaft, at a special add-on price of $55 (black)/$65 (colored).

Custom-length lower rods can also be substituted for the standard-length lower rod, upon customer request, for an additional $5.

Custom-designed 3-piece shafts are also available, upon customer request, for an additional $20.
