Steel tubing used for Rollcage applications such as BS4 T45, ROPT510, 4130 Chrome-Moly, 15CDV6, or even CDS tubes will all pretty much weigh the same as long as the diameter and wall thickness are the same.The way that some roll cages are lighter than others is due to using high

Often we see Rollcages, Chassis, Suspension components all advertised to be manufactured from CDS tube, but CDS in fact is short for Cold drawn seamless, which just relates to the manufacturing process not a specific type of metal. There are many types of CDS tubes available, some with high elongation
