Tube Sets

XCr

Stainless, Seamless, Performance

  • The jewel of the crown, top-range tubeset
  • The only biphasic stainless seamless tube family available in the cycling industry
  • Tripled & 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 available 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’ special proprietary drawing-lubricant provides extra-clean tubes out “of the box”, without residual oils. This allows builders to prepare tubes for welding more quickly.

SPIRIT HSS

High Strength Shaped

  • Triple butted OMNICROM alloy
  • Cold-Drawn Seamless Tube
