Columbus Life/Spirit
Niobium
177-205 KSI
14% min
The extreme strength of this alloy allows Columbus to draw the
tubes to thinner specifications than ever before, down to 0.38mm!
The chemical makeup of this alloy produces excellent hardening and
reduces the sensitivity to overheating by maintaining a
fine-grained structure. This tubing is marginally heavier than
aluminum while still possessing the strength and ride qualities of
steel. Spirit tubes are 20% thinner for even more weight savings,
and also offered in special shapes.
Columbus Zona
Nivacrom
134-149 KSI
10% min
Nivacrom alloy has been developed especially for cycling with all
considerations taken. The asymmetric double-butted tubes go through
a series of treatments that homogenize the mechanical properties,
giving the tubes great fatigue behavior and weld ability. This tube
set produces a bike of moderate weight and notable strength with a
compliant steel ride.
