Carbon does not lack toughness. Don't avoid carbon because you think it might not be up to the task.

I can't comment on Potenza or Campagnolo 11-speed for that matter. But my carbon 10-speed stuff has been outstandingly durable and tough. Frankly, the aluminum pivots and metal contacts wear out quicker.
