- More resistant to flexing and torsional twisting
| - More difficult to mount to compared to square tubes
- More complex mounting solutions might result in more weight & space
|
Square | - Easier to mount to compared to round tubes
- less complex mounting results in less weight and less wasted space
- Better for bending
| - Lower strength to weight ratio compared to round tubes
