SC Triathlon Frame Scandium-enhanced aluminum shaped into massive aero tubes are the foundation of Interloc's incredible tri frame. Excellent value at under a grand.
What is Scandium? When anyone in the bike world talks about Scandium tubing, they are really talking about Scandium-enhanced aluminum alloy tubing, not pure scandium. Scandium (Sc) is one of the most potent alloying elements on the periodic table. In simple English, add a dash of this stuff to good old aluminum and you have a super-strong metal alloy. Not only do you get better strength than current 6000 and 7000 series aluminum tubes, but a finer grain structure and longer fatigue life. That's why these tubes can be drawn thinner while remaining stronger than other top-quality aluminum tubing.
