- Tube and head are integral-machined from a single piece of high-strength 7000-series aluminum, allowing higher strength at lower weights
- Natural ellipse bore inside tube provides optimum strength-to-weight ratio
- Long 1.6 in. (41 mm) seat rail grip length helps prevent the seat rail from bending due to impact loads
- Design incorporates a bending fuse to prevent catastrophic failure
- Clamp, head and upper tube are strong enough to withstand 350 foot-pounds of torque
- Impact absorbing clamps; clamps, head and assembly will spread and flex on impact to protect seat, rails, seatpost and rider
- Infinite tilt adjustment; -5° and +29°
- Low-profile clamps prevent seat interference; swivel nuts are down between the seat rails
- Adjustments can be made to the tilt of the seat without moving the seat forwards or backwards

Read More Have read repeatedly that Thompson was one of the go-to products, and when the clamp on my stock post went, I decided to take the chance. For the first time in years, I have a truly level saddle! The double bolt system allows for spot-on levelling of your seat without undue complexness. Decent weight for the price, and seems to be strong. For a metal post, it is also surprisingly comfortable-riding, which I wasn't expecting, as it was bought to replace a (heavier) carbon post. Would I buy one again? Not sure I would buy anything else. Have had decent stock posts, Campy, etc, and this one is so much easier to use. For my road frame, I should have grabbed the setback model, as my seat is pushed all the way back, but it is close, and I am not feeling any leg-rub on the clamp. Might consider the extra money next time, and get the lighter Masterpiece.
