from the rest and we've gone for a colour scheme I've always wanted to have.
I know that you may have seen our tubing as it has already been claimed by other bike companies out there. The tubing design was developed by Severed Alliance and a very good friend we have over in the far east, who's knowledge of metal is outstanding and i hold the upmost admiration for the guy. He makes tubes for some of the biggest cycle and motor bike companies in the world. severed alliance and our friend from the far east have the world exclusive patent on it as it took a great deal of time to develop and we have called it “helix tubing”. Basically this is not new technology it has been tried and tested for years on other products that use steel tubing such as building construction and so on and is used to distribute the strength and stresses of the tube more evenly, allowing for a stronger build.
Think of it basically as rib cage this is not pressed metal. The advantage of this tubing is, say you wanted the down tube on your frame as 34.9 in diameter and 3mm thick the severed alliance tube allows you to use tubing of 2.7mm thickness but with the other 0.3mm across the members of the inside of the tube, but not the complete tube and thus you have the weight saving ingredient. This design actually increases the tube strength by 30% and decreases the weight by 20%, Nice eh!
We have all our development photos and tons more info on our blog site.
Here are some specs for some of our BMX range, we have 2 frame designs, forks, bars and cranks, take a look.
