Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. What is the difference between this and the 22.2mm bar (EX-R11)?

   • This 22.2 mm (EX-R12) bar is a full inch wide, offering a slightly more substantial look and improved lateral stability, making it ideal when a wider face is desired.

2. Is this a structural grade aluminium?

   • While used in light structural applications, it is typically alloy 6063-T6, which offers a good balance of strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance for general-purpose use.

3. Can the aluminium be painted?

   • Yes. For the best adhesion and finish, it is recommended to clean the bar thoroughly, lightly sand the surface, and use an etch primer specifically designed for aluminium before applying your desired topcoat.
