Frames

All components are mounted on the bicycle frame, so it is important that it is reliable. Bicycle frames and forks are made of aluminum, chrome-molybdenum CR-Mo, steel or carbon fiber as standard.

It is as important as the spine for humans. The speed of future trips, the variety of routes and freedom of choice depend on its strength and weight. 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 type of frame separately.

When choosing a bike 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 bike, manufacturers use tube thinning - the walls of the tubes are thinned, 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.

Until recently, carbon fiber frames were only used in road and mountain bike competitions due to their low weight, high speed and stiffness, but the situation is gradually changing and carbon fiber is becoming more and more popular among amateurs. The main reason is that the weight of the aluminum frame can no longer keep up with the extremely low weight of the carbon fiber frame. Despite its low weight, the carbon fiber frame can be very durable.

Steel frames are best suited if you plan to go on long tourist trips or mountain tours with the bike. The main advantage of such a frame is that it can be easily welded. The biggest disadvantage is its high weight.

When choosing a bike frame, consider your intended riding purpose. Frame design and geometry may vary depending on the type of bike and terrain.

  • Triathlon frames – frames specifically designed for triathlons are distinguished by their extremely aerodynamic design.
  • Road bike frames – aerodynamics and lightness are the most important here. They are usually made of carbon fiber or aluminum.
  • Mountain bike (MTB) frames – adapted for difficult routes and descents. They can be either rigid-tail or full-suspension.
  • Cyclocross and gravel frames – designed for fast off-road rides. They often have attachment points for accessories.
  • Touring bike frames – comfortable for longer rides, with enough space to attach luggage. Usually made of aluminum.
