Elite Seatpost Setback

Description |

The Thomson Elite Seatpost Setback pairs Thomson’s proven Elite construction with a setback design. Its forged clamps, integrally machined head and elliptically extruded 7000-series aluminum body are engineered for strength, low weight and easy adjustment. The tube and head are machined as one piece rather than pressed or bonded together.

A 41mm seat rail grip helps prevent rail bending from impact loads, while infinite tilt adjustment from -5° to +29° makes it easy to dial in saddle position. Low-profile clamps keep the hardware between the saddle rails, and all parts remain captive during installation. Supplied with a 7x7 saddle clampset and made in Georgia, USA.
