FW is defined as Flat Weld. It is applied to Asama new bikes. 

This welding brings a lot of benefits for frames made by aluminum.

   

Technique

Most of fragile parts on frame have had welding done. With normal weld or even fish-scale weld, it also cannot fill tiny holes, which causes the risk of cracks when being under vibration. On mountain bikes, its frame must have been under strong force while riding on the rocky terrain, hence this technology is so important and necessary. If these holes are filled up, the frame will be harder. As well, it also limits maximum of the risk of cracks which endangers for rider. Further, tubes are joined with each other completely.

   

   

Appearance

FW tech makes aluminum frames looking like carbon frame. It can make the frame's appearance smooth and clean, and lets the stress be scattered. Additionally, graphics or logos are designed on it seamlessly. 

   

   

FW technique is more complicate and expensive comparing to normal weld so FW technique just is applied to premium bikes..
