Crafted from a single piece of high-strength 7000 series Aluminium, both the tube and head ensure superior strength and minimal weight. Certified to EN 14766 2006 MTB and DIN CERTCO: 2006 MTB. Its natural ellipse bore provides an optimal strength-to-weight ratio. The extended 1.614 inch (41mm) seat rail grip length prevents seat rail bending from impact loads, exceeding the grip length of most other seatposts. The design includes a bending fuse to prevent catastrophic failure, unlike competitive seatposts that fail violently. The Thomson seatpost's clamp, head, and upper tube can withstand 350 foot-lbs of torque, while the tube itself begins to yield and bend at approximately 250 foot-lbs. This bending allows riders to safely stop or finish their ride after severe impacts. All parts are captive for easy seat attachment without disassembly. Enjoy infinite tilt adjustment from -5 degrees to +29 degrees. Low-profile clamps ensure no seat interference, with swivel nuts positioned between the seat rails. Extensive life and ultimate strength tests validate the designs and materials, with ongoing testing ensuring production lots meet Thomson standards. Impact-absorbing clamps spread and flex on impact to protect the seat, rails, and rider, preventing rail bending even under heavy loads. Made from 7000 series Aluminium with a 41mm Seat Rail grip length. Available in 330mm, 367mm, and 410mm lengths, and all standard seatpost sizes. Features -5 degree to +29 degree tilt adjustment and weighs 228g (330mm length).
