Hyperion titanium tubes
A wide range of shapes and bends from the Columbus archives, new and old.
Columbus have developed super-light tube sets for the greatest champions: Coppi, Anquetil, Baldini, Rivière, Bracke, Ritter, Merckx, Moser, Oersted. Intelligent experimentation and technological progress continues to be the focus of the Columbus.
Hyperion:
• Columbus' cold-drawing technology improves the mechanical properties of
• Hyperion tubes compared to other Titanium tubes available on the market,
with a +22% increase in UTS relative to non-butted tubes.
• Columbus' special proprietary drawing-lubricant provides extra-clean tubes out
“of the box”, without residual oils. This allows builders to prepare tubes for
welding more quickly.
• Main triangle and rear stays in Grade 9 Ti: optimal for performance and
workability.
• Headtube and bottom bracket in Grade 5 Ti: maximum rigidity in the most
stressed zones of the frame.
• Thanks to Columbus ability to produce titanium headtubes from tubes rather
than solid billets, we are able to oer a single model suitable for all frame sizes.
• Columbus is a 360° framebuilder partner for all your tubing and component
requirements across dierent materials.
• Access to Columbus' historical archive of tube shapes including a wide range of
bent rear stays and an exclusive range of shaped downtubes.
