Originally introduced in the 1980s as a more advanced evolution of the SL concept, SLX became known for its internal helical reinforcements, a distinctive technical solution designed to increase strength and stiffness in the most stressed areas of the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis modern SLX edition keeps the spirit of that iconic tubeset alive while using Columbus’ contemporary high-performance \u003cstrong\u003eOMNICROM Cromoly steel alloy\u003c\/strong\u003e.
