ALUMINIUM ALLOY T6
Al 7046 T6 is an aluminum alloy with a different formula of basic material contents, e.g. in comparison with the often used classical Al-Alloy 7020 T6. The improved hot hardening of the material leads to a signifi cantly higher tensile strength than Al 7020 (around 30 %). In addition, the extremely important expansion limit for a component becomes much higher (around 40 %) and increases resistance to shock fractures or breaks.
The use of the new Al-Alloy Al 7046 T6, in combination with our proven CHANNEL Tube Shape Technology, results in super-light frame materials with signifi cantly improved mechanical properties and an optimised weight / durability factor for ROTWILD bikes. At the limit of production: The new downtube of the ROTWILD XC Racing Series models – 4 times inside-butted, 2 times outside-butted, 3 different shapes.
