MTB Seatposts
By Canadian Cycling Magazine - Published June 8, 2010Riders rarely notice their seatpost until it bends or breaks after hitting a bump the wrong way. Suddenly, the quest for a lighter/stronger post begins. Here are three options sure to satisfy the needs of most riders.
Products
-
Vanderham Star Series - $100
PROThis bulletproof freeride and all-mountain seatpost will shrug-off impacts that would have most posts buckling or breaking. The simple one-bolt clamping system offers plenty of adjustment without slipping like some other single bolt clamps. Forged from a durable 7075 aluminum, this full-length 350mm post weighs a very respectable 255 g. What's not to like?
-
Masterpiece Seatpost - $149
ThomsonRiders wanting one of the finest seatposts available should look no further than the Thomson Masterpiece. Starting with the already high-quality Thomson post, the Masterpiece receives extensive machining that reduces the overall weight without compromising strength. In fact, the post's unique bending fuse all but eliminates catastrophic failure. Infinite tilt adjustment, extensive strength testing and an easy-on-the-rails seat clamp make this a top choice for discerning cyclists.
-
XC-190 - $100
FSAWith its 3D forged shaft and micro-adjustable head, the XC-190 is a top choice for XC riders. The zero setback construction ensures the rider is centred between the wheels while the minimal size clamp reduces weight. Time to lose that stock post.
