Dunno about yours mate but mine's steel.
Mine is as well. They look cheap, but they're definitely steel. Front axle, rear axle, and swingarm pivot nuts were the first things I torqued when I got my bike home. They were all within a couple ft/lbs of the factory specs.Dunno about yours mate but mine's steel.
