Because the reeds control the amount of air / fuel mixture entering the engine, choosing the best reeds is important for getting the maximum amount of horsepower from your 2-cycle engine.  Too much or too little air / fuel entering the engine during each cycle will cause a loss of performance.

Another factor in choosing a reed is its potential to damage the engine, in the event of breakage.  No reed can be expected to last forever.  And, at some point, it is very likely that a reed or part of a reed will break off and get sucked into the engine.  A carbon fiber reed will normally break up into little pieces, without doing much damage.

Ideally, you would like to have a high-performance reed that has good longevity and that is less likely to break.

Note:  Be sure to check the the year of your intake manifold and reed cage, as they frequently differ from the year engine that you are running, particularly blue-printed shifter kart motors.
