Furthermore, over the last few years the internal processes of the company have further improved, generating a constant path of changes even when the details apparently seemed unchanged from an aesthetic point of view. An example? The company has recently chosen to produce some components, such as the pedal set and bearing shells, made of high quality forged aluminium instead of magnesium. This choice was dictated by the desire to reduce the environmental impact that the processing and treatment of magnesium entail and with the aim of offering consumers a more durable product, as in the case of axle bearing flanges. In this sense the difference between ergal and magnesium is important: the former has better mechanical characteristics including greater resistance and less wear, while the latter has physical qualities such as lower specific weight and higher thermal conductivity, which is why it is used in components that require good heat dissipation such as disc housings, sprockets, rims and wheel hubs.
