'Hagane' means 'Fullmetal' in Japanese by the way.

Ah, thanks! So it is just a marketing bologna then, since gear and body of the TP are obviously made of metal

I think they are trying to make a link with popular culture. Few years back there was a really popular graphic novel/TV series called Fullmetal Alchemist (or 'Hagane no Renkinjutsushi').

I can understand why if that was the reason behind the marketing as it was very, very popular. Watched and read the series myself.

Just one theory behind it anyway. Dunno if Shimano is trying to attract teens and young adults.
