Thomson Elite Setback Seatpost: 31.6 x 410mm Black
Thomson Elite Layback Seatpost – 7000 Series Aluminum, 16mm Setback
The Thomson Elite Layback Seatpost sets the industry benchmark for strength, reliability, and precision. Forged clamps, an integrally machined head, and an elliptically extruded 7000-series aluminum body make the Elite the reference standard by which all other seatposts are judged. It combines unmatched durability with smooth, infinite adjustability, making it a favorite among professional riders and enthusiasts alike.
Over 40% stronger than the strongest production seatposts tested, and with double the fatigue life of comparable models, the Elite is built to perform under the most demanding conditions. The one-piece head and tube design eliminates weak joints or bonds, ensuring maximum strength with minimum weight. With impact-absorbing clamps and a unique bending fuse design, the seatpost bends gradually under extreme loads, protecting both rider and bike from catastrophic failure.
The Thomson Elite’s patented two-bolt clamp system allows precise saddle angle adjustments within a wide range of -5° to +29°, while its long 41mm seat rail grip prevents saddle rail bending and ensures secure positioning. Every post is rigorously tested to meet and exceed international safety and performance standards.
