THE STRENGTH OF STEEL

Yes, you’ll generally pay more for a steel creation, but the durability and strength of the material means you could have a ride for life with a steel bike. Steel is an isotropic material, meaning that it’s equally strong in every direction and also highly durable when it comes to crashes and general wear and tear. Unlike carbon, steel bends rather than snaps and is therefore easier to repair, making it even more viable as a bike-for-life.
