How does the use of 4130 super thermo butted chromoly tubing in the Hyper Lunatic frame enhance its durability and ride quality?

The use of 4130 super thermo butted chromoly tubing in the Hyper Lunatic frame enhances its durability by offering superior strength without adding unnecessary weight. This material is known for its high tensile strength, allowing the frame to withstand the stresses of aggressive riding while maintaining a smooth ride. The butted tubing also allows for a more refined design, improving both the performance and the overall feel of the frame.

What role do the integrated headtube, gussets, and removable U-brake mounts play in the overall design and functionality of the Hyper Lunatic frame?
