technology - Magnesium AK61
35% lighter than aluminium alloy, 60% lighter than titanium alloy; Magnesium AK61alloy offers these astonishing statistics. With 340 N/MM2 of load to breaking point, the Dogma tubeset wins any comparision test with other metals used today in the construction of bicycle frames.
More rigid and durable in relation to weight, lighter in relation to tube section. Magnesium AK61alloy is comparable with carbon fibre, but with one major difference: Magesium, like aluminum, can be welded and it’s an isotopic metal with the same physical properties in every direction; whereas carbon fibre is not weldable and notably anisotropic; i.e., exhibiting properties with different values when measured in different directions.
Magnesium is the lightest structural metal that exists in nature. Dogma of Pinarello isn’t just a passing idea, but truly a hallmark in bicycle design.
