Was the Elite made of all aluminum tubing vs. the Elite 2's steel tubing?

the bottom is aluminum the sides tubes are panted but it feels to lite to be steel. I use mine to move things at gun range. hope this helps.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question as I have only used the Elite. I don't have any knowledge about the quality of the regular one. Perhaps you can ask someone who has purchased one how their experience has been. I am very happy with mine.

Metal tubing , not sure if it's aluminum or steel tubing . It's fairly light though I like it more than the goscope handle

I've only tried the Ikon, and am satisfied with it. It makes perfectly good juice. I don't see the need to spend the extra $, although granted I've only been using it for a month (approx. every other day). I would be interested to hear from someone who has tried both. I'd like to know, for instance, if there's a higher yield with the Elite, or is the Elite expected to last longer?

I believe the "Armor" moniker is used for the heavier gauge metal used on the upper end Zippos. I'm pretty sure that the finish between the standard and armor models is the same. I've only got the armor models so all the above is just speculation on my part but in reviewing the previous answers just not, it seems a sound enough supposition.

Yes it's well worth it.. I love ThickSlicks since my first purchase.. (2012). The Elite has a more dense "DuraStrip".. (Puncture resistant).. I ride a track bike in the streets with "NO BRAKES"..I have had them both and have used Elite down to the liner.. Great tire, spend the $4. Hope this was helpful..

Aluminum cools better than copper/steel but generally costs a lot more and copper/steel is stronger. Originally I had an aluminum radiator from China but returned it because of manufacturing defects.

The Elite series has an integrated overhead LED lighting system. Elite ~= E-Light

The new one apparently has thicker tubing. However, as the other poster mentioned, I think the old tubing is plenty for a pair of MTBs, road bikes, hybrids, or anything else.

According to ICON's CSR this is the waxed-based lube that has silicone in it. The kit they sell is part#219170 (3 tubes and an applicator) The part # for individual tubes is 219167 so it seems to match up with what they are showing here.I have a Elite 9500 Pro model#NTL190111 btwUpdate. I see from ICON's site the the part# for my model is #219168. Doesn't mean that 219167 is not waxed based though.

Hi Myron T., This part is an ABS extruded part with the front portion where the water jacket is separate, is made of aluminum to take higher temperature related stress. My old one cracked right where the new part is now made of aluminum. This should be an excellent upgrade. I have had mine installed now for approximately 5 - 6000 miles. I dont believe an all metal one can be had unless there is a 3rd party manufacturing Company building them for racing purposes. I hope this helps. NOTE: the torque tolerances on these replacements need to be closely adhered to, uneven or over torquing, I believe will cause failure. PS, NO gaskets are needed on the actual manifold, they are molded into it.

I bought the aluminum one and my friend bought the stainless-steel one. There is no functional difference. However, after a period of using, the stainless-steel is still shining just like new, but the aluminum surface has already become dull.

I am not sure what you mean by the elite version. It is a good sturdy set that my grandsons love. It is a good buy especially for the first-time user.

I just called Presto. It is all stainless steel, except for the small "cup" at the bottom that the perk tube fits into - that is aluminum. I asked if it was lined with anything and they didn't know.

If I remember correctly, I think we got the elite because the motor was stronger. Compare the descriptions to confirm.

The polish stainless steel is the better quality of the 2 and is more likely to resist rust much better than the 304 stainless steel.
