How the Treadlite Broadfork is Made...
The Treadlite Broadfork Head:
-
Lightest Broadfork in it's class
-
Care has been taken to use the highest grade materials from Gr 80 HSLA Steel Tines, ASTM A519 Tubing and Chromoly Tubing (think NASCAR roll cage) we have sourced some of the highest grades available to provide flawless operation for years to come.
-
-
"Through Tube" Technology
-
Provides superior strength as the socketed handle mount is inserted through the tube rather than relying on welds alone.
-
Does not allow moisture build-up in the tube or socket ensuring your handles will remain dry and not rot over time.
-
-
Geometric design
-
The handle socket that goes through the step tube creates a stronger joint on the Treadlite Broadfork. The socket weld is almost unnecessary unlike other broadforks on the market that could fail over time due to a reliance on welds.
