Previously Classified Super Magnesium Now Ready for MTB
7
50% lighter than titanium, 30% lighter than aluminum yet stiffer and stronger, Allite's Super Magnesium is now ready for the mountain bike and cycling world.
Merida did Magnesium frames, they cracked a lot from what i found. Not saying these will, just that it's not the first time someone used magnesium as a frame material.
Those are probably just high magnesium content aluminum alloy frames. You don't do straight magnesium. As to why label it "magnesium", ask marketing...
There are, apparently 3 different versions of the alloy. One can be welded. One can be forged. One can be machined. It doesn't combust. It melts. No idea on the welding rod.
