It doesn't have a full skeleton but there is a fully boxed perimeter skeleton that just goes around the edge. Because it is 100% carbon it is stiff enough that it does not require a full skeleton. Also because the perimeter skeleton is bonded all the way along the outside and inside edge completely boxing it in, the entire part becomes very rigid against twisting vs just having a full skeleton glued around the outside edge and spot glued around the center areas. This is a big part of reason the weight was able to be cut so low but still allow it to be a bolt on part with a normal latch, but it could also be made with a foam core skin only as a lift off hood.
