Framtiden heter Nanoflex
Materialet Nanoflex från Sandvik låter som ett perfekt material för cykel ... nästa trend efter carbonfiber kanske.
Från Sandvik hemsida:
"Selle San Marco, the leading Italian maker of high quality, professional racing bicycle saddles has selected ultra-high strength Sandvik Nanoflex® rails for its innovative and patented Magma MG, Rever Profil, Era and SKN saddles.
Small diameter Sandvik Nanoflex® saddle rail tubing is used as an alternative to round, solid titanium. The result for Selle San Marco is that the overall weight of the saddle is minimised.
Titanium carries a reputation as a high quality, low weight material. Sandvik Nanoflex® challenges that reputation as a new material that outperforms even the strongest titanium at a lower weight. In general, Sandvik Nanoflex has twice the strength and stiffness compared with even the most sophisticated titanium alloys used in the aerospace industry.
The exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and forming properties of Sandvik Nanoflex® provide opportunities for additional bicycle applications such as frame tubing, seat posts and handle bars. Other sports uses include lightweight, durable sports handles; tennis, lacrosse and badminton rackets; hiking equipment, crampons and other advanced winter sports gear."
