The frame of the bicycle is believed to be understood by riders. The frame of a bicycle can be said to be the soul of a bicycle. The frame of a bicycle is not only the main part of a bicycle, but the frame determines the performance of a bicycle.
There are many materials for bicycle frames so far, such as aluminium alloy, carbon fibre, steel, titanium alloy and so on. Not only the frames of these materials but also other synthetic metals. Today we mainly understand the difference between steel and titanium alloy frames.
When it comes to steel, everyone may have such doubts. It’s not just the material of a bicycle frame that costs a few hundred yuan. Because most bicycles on the market cost hundreds of yuan, the material used in the frame is steel.
In fact, this is not the case. Indeed, cheap steel is not comparable. However, high-quality steel is expensive. And in terms of performance, it is also extremely high, not only the high performance of the frame.
In terms of riding comfort and riding experience, steel ranks among the best. Because of its own reasons, steel has good deformability. Therefore, when riding normally, steel can well relieve the vibration or impact caused by the ground.
Because they can alleviate the impact of the ground in time, riders who often use steel frames are the best in terms of riding comfort. Also, steel has a strong impact on resistance.
Due to its strong impact resistance, steel is generally used on many heavy-duty bicycles. For example, the hard-tailed AM, many riders often use steel frames in pursuit of hardness.
Titanium alloy, titanium alloy is generally titanium as the main foundation, and then add other alloy elements to form a composite metal, so it is called titanium alloy. Because of the raw material and price of titanium alloy, so few people use it.
Although titanium alloy is a good aerospace material, it is widely used in bicycles. Not only the frame, but also the handlebars and flywheels of the bicycle, and even the small screws are made of titanium alloy.
The reason why titanium alloy is widely used in bicycles is that titanium alloy has strong strength and corrosion resistance. There is still that, the titanium alloy frame is often its own hardness is relatively good, often the same as the steel material, is the first choice for many long-distance riders.
In fact, steel and titanium alloy have the same characteristics, both of which have good impact resistance. The weight of steel will be important and the price will be cheaper. The weight of titanium alloy will be lighter, but the price is several times that of steel. For specific choices and specific requirements, it is mainly up to the individual, and the one that suits you is the best.
