The RUSSTi Rims are made from 6069 Alloy. Why...here's why...

1. Improved Tensile Yield Strength (TYS):

6069 offers 45% higher TYS. This means that a 6069 rim can be built thinner with equitable strength. i.e lighter, improved performance. Alternatively a profile can be designed with equivalent thickness of a 6061 rim with significantly improved stiffness and strength. This means:

-Less likelihood of spoke hole crack propagation (a common defect)

-Significantly improved longevity and performance

2. Improved Fatigue

6069 is the alloy with greatest fatigue strength qualities. As much as 50% better than 6061 (a common alloy used in rim production). No current aluminum alloy can offer superior fatigue to 6069. This means:

-Dramatic improvements in durability and longevity

3. Ultimate Tensile Strength

Refers to the maximum force it takes to break a rim. 6069 offers 40% better performance than 6061. This makes for a stiffer, structurally stronger rim, which means:

- significantly reduced chance of snakebite
