This aspect is taken advantage of by the manufacturers when introducing new models every year to stay competitive in the market.

High tensile carbon steel is strong and durable but not light in weight. ·         Chromoly: This too is strong and durable but it is very light steel. The advantage is that Chromoly provides good flex while maintaining its form and is hence ideal for dirt or off-road riding. ·         Aluminum: The metal ha...
