Our aluminium bikes go through an extremely careful, high-tech process before rolling out of our Belgian assembly line as complete bikes.

We select a 6061-T6 aluminium alloy commonly used in the aircraft industry as it scores very well on stiffness, metal fatigue, weight and welding precision. All our tubes are triple-butted where central wall thickness is 3x thinner than at the ends. This minimizes weight and maximizes stiffness.

The tubes are also hydroformed – a process in which water under pressure gives the tubes the desired shape, without potential damage that mechanical shaping can cause.

Lastly, we use a “double-pass flat weld” in crucial places for extra strength and clean finish – an absolute must for modern aluminium bikes.
