Assembly Required? Yes All frames are machine forged with precise attention to detail. Each frame is hand finished by grounding, buffing and polishing all welds to achieve a smooth surface ready for the 5-stage pretreatment process. Frames are coated in a hybrid base coat primer sealant and then powder coated. Applied electrostatically, the powder coating creates a uniform surface with improved color and durability ensuring that the finish does not flake, peel or blister. To ensure industry leading design and quality our products undergo rigorous structural and environment testing. Frames undergo weighted testing and each finish is subject to UV testing to guarantee lasting quality.
