Characteristics of aluminum bicycle frame
Aluminum can also withstand some collisions and impacts, and it can also ride, so the aluminum frames used by off-road vehicles such as downhill mountain bikes and aluminum bicycle manufacturing have also become good enough. Hydroforming allows manufacturers to shape aluminum frames into smooth aerodynamic shapes, and seamless welding can increase the smooth appearance, making some new aluminum frames almost indistinguishable from carbon in the distance.
Due to the completely independent damping structure, and the thicker and softer handle glue and cushion, the shortcoming of aluminum's lack of elasticity is completely neutralized. In addition, the light weight of aluminum makes it possible to manufacture a larger cross-sectional area and locally reinforce it where strength is needed. Aluminum is a mature and reliable material, which has more advantages in making fully damped frames.
