ZONAL

Tubes for amateurs: road and mtb competition frames.

The alloy selected by Columbus


  • Very good TIG weldability
  • Mechanical characteristics (T6 state):
    Rm = 420 N/mm2, Rs 380 N/mm2 Ap5> 12%
    Recommended weld material for TIG welding: 5836/5780/5183/5556

The characteristics of the Zonal tubes

  • Elevated strength/weight ratio thanks to the use of lightened tubes.
    Very good TIG weldability
  • It is necessary to perform an artificial ageing treatment after the welding of the frame in order to improve the mechanical performan-ces (6 hours at a temperature of 90°C followed by 4 hours at 150°C).
  • Integrated Head Tube option

Reasons to choose Zonal

  • Athlete: Zonal allows for the production of frames with a reasonable weight and adequate characteristics of strength thanks to the use of the Megatubes.
  • Framebuilder: the easy workability of the tubes allows for the production of reliable and light frames. It is recommended to perform an artificial ageing treatment.



The weight refers to sized and mitered tube for a 54cm c-c road frame or a 18" (45.5cm) MTB frame
