Originally designed by Thomson founder Ronnie Thomson, it features an elliptically extruded 7000-series aluminium body, forged saddle clamps and a head machined integrally with the post. The result is an impressively lightweight seatpost with an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio, manufactured and tested to Thomson's rigorous standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThomson's two-bolt saddle clamp offers precise, continuous tilt adjustment from -5° to +29°, while its extended 41mm rail grip helps distribute loads along the saddle rails. The Elite is engineered to bend rather than fail catastrophically under severe impact, with a low-profile clamp and captive hardware that make installation and adjustment straightforward. Made in the USA, it's a proven choice for riders who appreciate thoughtful engineering and long-term reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures |\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned by Thomson founder Ronnie Thomson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElliptically extruded 7000-series aluminium body for an optimized strength-to-weight ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrally machined head and seatpost tube constructed from a single piece of aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged saddle clamps for strength and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 40% stronger in Thomson's ultimate strength testing than the strongest competing production seatposts tested\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble the fatigue life of other production seatposts tested by Thomson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElliptical internal bore optimizes strength while minimizing weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e41mm saddle rail grip length helps reduce rail bending under impact loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuous saddle tilt adjustment from -5° to +29°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-profile saddle clamps position the swivel nuts between the saddle rails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptive clamp hardware allows saddle installation without disassembling the clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned with a bending fuse that allows the post to yield under severe impact rather than fail catastrophically\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClamp, head and upper tube tested to withstand 350 ft-lb of torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeatpost tube designed to begin yielding at approximately 250 ft-lb of torque at the seat tube clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes standard 7x7mm saddle rail clampset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional 7x10mm clampset available separately for compatible oval or carbon saddle rails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertified to EN 14766:2006 MTB and DIN CERTCO:2006 MTB standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured in the USA with ongoing production testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs |\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThomson\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElite Seatpost\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComponent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBicycle Seatpost\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7000-Series Aluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElliptically Extruded Tube with Integrally Machined Head\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClamp Construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForged Aluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClamp Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow-Profile, Two-Bolt Adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSaddle Tilt Adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-5° to +29°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSaddle Rail Grip Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41mm (1.614\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded Saddle Rail Clamp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7x7mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptional Saddle Rail Clamp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7x10mm for Compatible Oval\/Carbon Rails (Sold Separately)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximate Weight (250mm Length)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e201g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximate Weight (330mm Length)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e228g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrength Test\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOver 40% Stronger Than Competing Production Seatposts Tested by Thomson\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFatigue Testing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwice the Fatigue Life of Competing Production Seatposts Tested by Thomson\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClamp and Head Torque Test\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e350 ft-lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesigned Tube Yield Point\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 250 ft-lb at Seat Tube Clamp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEN 14766:2006 MTB;
