Alloy Quick Release Clamp (MAXFORD Advanced) | Competitive cycling, mountain biking | - Lightweight alloy (6061-T6 aluminum, 150g) - Quick-release lever (ISO 4210 compliant) - Adjustable screw (25.4–31.8mm range, spring tension) | ▲ Lighter than steel (reduces bike weight) ▲ Easier adjustments (fine-tune fit) Corrosion-resistant (anodized finish, ASTM B209) | Higher cost (▲ from Base model) Less durability in extreme impacts |
Steel Clamp (Industry Standard) | Commuting, casual riding | - Durable steel (ASTM A36, 220g) - Manual screw tightening - Standard fit (27.2mm only) | Cost-effective High load capacity (handles heavy riders) Rust-prone (uncoated surface) | Heavier (▲ vs alloy) Limited adjustability Requires tools for adjustments |
Plastic Clamp | Children’s bikes, temporary repairs | - Light plastic body (30g) - Snap-fit design - Limited load capacity (≤80kg) | Ultra-lightweight Affordable Easy installation (tool-free) | ▲ Low durability (deforms under heavy use) Not weather-resistant (UV degradation) |
Carbon Fiber Quick Release (Premium) | High-end road racing | - Carbon fiber composite (50g, 25% lighter than alloy) - Aerodynamic profile - Customizable tension | ▲ Lightest option Vibration damping (reduces fatigue) Aesthetic appeal | Extremely expensive Brittle under sharp impacts Requires专业 tools for adjustments |
MAXFORD Base Alloy Clamp | Recreational cycling, touring | - Alloy body (200g) - Basic quick-release (ISO 4210) - Adjustable range (27.2–31.6mm) | Balanced cost-performance ▲ Easier to use than steel clamps Rust-resistant coating (ASTM B117) | Less lightweight (▲ vs Advanced) Basic design (no advanced features like spring tension) |
Heavy-Duty Steel Clamp | BMX, downhill mountain biking | - Thick steel construction (300g) - Reinforced locking mechanism - Wider load tolerance (≤150kg) | ▲ Extremely durable Resists shocks/vibrations No tool required (lever-based) | Bulky design Heavier (▲ vs alloy) No adjustability (fixed post size) |
