Aluminum bicycles

A bicycle frame is as important as a human spine. Its strength and weight determine the speed of future rides, the variety of routes and the freedom of choice. What should the frame of your dream bike be made of? The most popular answers: steel, carbon fiber or aluminum. To understand the differences and advantages, it is necessary to look at each frame type separately.

Aluminum frames are currently the most common. Aluminum is used practically everywhere: in the production of both children's bicycles and top-end mountain bikes (DH). This is because modern technologies have made it possible to make them extremely light considering the price, that is, they have the best price-to-weight ratio.

When choosing a bicycle with an aluminum frame, you should pay attention to the type of aluminum and its layering. There are two main types of aluminum: 6061 and 7005. The first is characterized by softness, comfort, and the second - weight and rigidity, which is why it is most often used not in tourism, but in sports. Another important difference between aluminum frames is the layering. The most famous are straight tubes, but they are heavy, so to increase the speed of the bicycle, manufacturers use tube thinning - the walls of the tubes are made thinner, and the thickest layer is left only where it is needed. After the more durable aluminum frame is thinned, it may even resemble aluminum foil, but this does not affect safety.
