★ TUBESETS — 05 MATERIALS · 05 SETS · 01 DOVE
five materials,
five sets.
Every Columbus tubeset is drawn in Italy from one of five proprietary materials and butted to put steel exactly where the frame needs it. Choose the set that matches the ride — or start from the material and follow it into the sets it becomes.
XCr
Stainless, Seamless, Performance
- The jewel of the crown, top-range tubeset
- The only biphasic stainless seamless tube family available in the cycling industry
- Triple & double butted tube reinforces
- High corrosion resistance in long-term periods in every use and weather condition
- Seamless technology, improved stiffness and mechanical properties
- Reduced thickness, up to 0.4mm for an extremely reduced weight
- Exceptional resistance to Stress Corrosion Cracking
- No need to be painted or clear-coated after polishing
- Ultra smooth surface (Ra<0.4)
- Excellent weldability
- Made in Italy
Hyperion
The new era of Titanium
- Triple butted 3Al-2.5V alloy
- Cold-Drawn Seamless Grade 9 Tubeset
- Columbus' cold-drawing technology improves the mechanical properties of Hyperion tubes compared to other titanium tubes on the market, with a +22% increase in UTS relative to non-butted tubes
- Wide range of special shapes and bends, from the Columbus new and old archives
- Columbus' proprietary drawing-lubricant provides extra-clean tubes out of the box, without residual oils, so builders can prepare tubes for welding more quickly
Spirit
Top-Performance Road-Race
- Triple butted OMNICROM alloy
- Cold-Drawn Seamless Tube
- Reduced thickness, up to 0.38mm
- Exceptional mechanical characteristics
- High tensile strength, superior resilience and incredible fatigue resistance
- Excellent tube-surface finishing and highly controlled alloy-composition, regular and close to nominal, for an excellent weld bead
- Visual Quality Control inspection and marking of each tube
- Incomparable strength/weight ratio
- Made in Italy
Life
Oversize, Lightness, Resistance
- Triple butted OMNICROM alloy
- Cold-Drawn Seamless Tube
- Wide range and great freedom in frame-design & tubeset-composition
- Excellent resistance/weight ratio, wide range of shapes & bends
- Over-sized tubes available for the DT (Ø42mm) and the ST (Ø35mm)
- Exceptional mechanical characteristics
- High breaking load, superior tenacity and incredible fatigue endurance
- Wide range of specifications: road-race, gravel, urban and mtb
- Made in Italy
Zona
All-Purpose Hi-Resistance tubes family
- Triple / double butted 25CrMo4 alloy seamless tubeset
- Moderate weight and high strength
- Multiple possible shapes, triangle & stays
- Increased wall-thicknesses and butted lengths in strategic tube areas
- Perfect solution for offroad and training purpose
- Great to mix with lighter Columbus sets for improved resistance
- Good resistance to heating during the welding process
- Great reliability and fatigue life
- Made in Italy
