Raw Material
Our levers are made of high quality ZL104 and 4 Grade Plating Finish. This material has high copper percentage thatmeans you get to ride with exceptional durability, betterperformance and longevity. ZL104 increases the resistance of a material to breaking under tension or load. It also improves tensile strength of a material and enables it to bear maximum amount of tensile stress before giving up to failure i.e. breaking. Wrought aluminum-copper alloys respond to solution heat treatment and subsequent aging with an increase in strength and hardness and a decrease in elongation. Aluminium alloys offers.
Why these raw materials were chosen?
- Lightweight
- Resistant to Corrosion
- Endurance high Temperatures
