The common misconception is that just because it's " forged" means it's all the same. The factory forging isn't going to hold anything near the goals we have. The rod is the same setup as the F10/F90 rod and those bend all the time. There are already several G80s with bent rods.

The difference is our rods are H beam forged rods, made of chromoly. The metallurgy combined with the rod structure style is where the strength comes from.
