David Parrett is the main man at Thomson. Here, he shows us the details of their all new Elite Dropper seatpost. The adjustable seatpost market is very hot and there are several big names invested in it. Thomson has taken it’s time but they have built a really beautiful drop post, but then again we would expect nothing less from Thomson.
Features are:
- 5″ of adjustment
- Variable speed (due to cam actuator)
- Sizes: 30.9x400mm and 31.6x410mm
- 450 grams
- MSRP: $399.00
- 2 year warranty
- Available March 1, 2013
From the manufacturer:
“You want the increased control a dropper post gives you but you had to give up your Thomson post to have it. Not any longer, you can put your Thomson post back on the bike! Our cartridge based system is designed to have the longest service life in the industry. If repair is needed it is fast, affordable and simple. Every single component is the best available. Custom made Norglide bearing bushings, custom made Trelleborg O-Rings and seals, Thomson saddle clamps and fasteners, Motul Oil. This is the drop post good enough to be called a Thomson Elite. 450 grams, the lightest drop post available.”
