The Waterford 33-Series technology builds off developments by True Temper with considerable input from Waterford. This technology consists of specially formulated OX Platinum alloy, dimensioned and shaped to optimize performance and functionality. It represents the full exploitation of the strengths designed into the new generation of air hardening steel alloys.
S3-tubes have a special level of heat treating to improve the strength and durability without increasing weight.
As a result of these improved metallurgical properties, tough tubing can be crafted into dimensions not possible with earlier alloys, allowing the development of stiff but light weight structures with excellent torsional rigidity.
The bi-oval downtube emphasizes lateral stiffness at the bottom bracket and enhanced strength at the head tube.
Other components of the tubeset are specially lightened where appropriate to give competitors that extra edge, including the head tube, chainstays, BB and dropouts. Waterford has examined and re-examined every opportunity to improve performance.
Keyed to competitive riders, the 33-Series frames offer lighter weights and faster acceleration than Waterford's other technologies. Waterford can also create a unique and appropriate road feel through its careful design of steering geometry, management of weight distribution and selection from its broad selection of tubing options.
