At the same time, it meets the requirements of Superflow and TM systems. controlled flexibility It is engineered to provide this.

• RAILS: Manganese alloy steel tube, Ø7 mm. Manganese alloy between steel rails. the best strength/weight ratio It offers a much stronger alternative to pure aluminum and a more affordable alternative to pure carbon. 7mm diameter, It provides a balanced stiffness and minimal comfort flexibility, ideal for performance saddles.
