Developed as Columbus’ top-of-the-range tubeset, XCr is made from seamless biphasic stainless steel, a rare and technically demanding material chosen for premium handmade frames, custom geometries and made-to-measure bicycles where performance, longevity and material purity all matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXCr offers excellent long-term corrosion resistance and is especially appreciated for frames where the material itself becomes part of the visual identity. When properly polished and finished, it can also be used for exposed stainless frame finishes, offering an elegant alternative to a full painted finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXCr tubes use differentiated double and triple butted profiles, with very thin wall sections and a remarkably smooth, consistent surface finish. This combination allows skilled framebuilders to work with a lightweight stainless tubeset that offers high mechanical performance, excellent weldability and outstanding resistance to stress corrosion cracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Cicli Corsa, XCr has a special place within the Columbus range. It is not simply a premium option, but a material for builders who want to create frames with a very specific identity, refined, durable, technically advanced and visually distinctive. This pre-configured XCr 7 tubes set follows the standard Columbus selection for the XCr series, while custom compositions can be arranged on request for specific framebuilding projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe XCr series is particularly well suited to TIG welded or fillet brazed stainless steel frames.
