  The Thomson Elite Seatpost is the standard by which all other seatposts are judged. Forged clamps, integrally machined head, and an elliptically extruded 7000 series aluminum body have made the Elite and the Setback Elite the industry models for strength, light weight and ease of adjustment.This alloy seatpost has an incredibly strong design, the post and lower clamp are machined from a single piece of high-strength 7000 series aluminum, with an ellipse bore inside the tube for fore and aft strength without adding unnecessary weight. Adjustments are easy as well, just tighten the front or rear screw according to which way you want the saddle to tilt, anywhere from -5 to + 29 degrees. When choosing a alloy seatpost you need to pick one which is tough, durable and resilient, especially if it going to carry you across rough, rocky terrain! The Thomson Elite is the ideal choice, not only is it strong, sturdy and high quality but it is also lightweight and looks very attractive too. Thomson Elite Seatpost Features   The designs and materials have passed extensive life and ultimate strength tests. Every production lot of seatposts will have ultimate strength and fatigue tests performed. Our on going testing program insures that every production lot of seatposts meets Thomson standards. Impact absorbing clamps - clamps, head, and assembly will spread and flex on impact to protect seat, rails, seatpost and rider. Adjustments can be made to the tilt of the seat without moving the seat forwards or backwards. Easy on seats - allows seat to survive heavy impact loads without bending rails."

  The Thomson Elite X2 Road Stem The design team for the new Thomson 31.8 had a tough goal: make a stem better than the Thomson Elite Road and Mountain Stems. Early tests showed us that our competitors’ 31.8 stems were heavier and weaker than Thomson Elite 25.4 and 26.0 stems. At Thomson our new stems were not done until they were stronger, lighter and longer lived than the legendary Thomson Elite.

  The Thomson Elite Setback Seatpost has double the fatigue life of any other production models tested. The tube and head of the Thomson seatpost are integral-machined from one piece of high strength 7000 series Aluminium. The head is not pressed or bonded in. This allows for superior strength and minimum weight.It’s incredibly lightweight, approximately 201g (250mm length) for road bikes and 228g (330mm length) for mountain bikes. The natural ellipse bore inside tube creates an optimum strength-to-weight ratio.These seatposts have a long 1.614 inch (41mm) seat rail grip length. This helps prevent seat rail bending from impact loads. Most other seatposts have grip lengths of at least 0.5 inch shorter thanThomson's grip length.The Thomson seatpost design incorporates a bending fuse to prevent catastrophic failure. All competitive seatposts tested, failed catastrophically with the seat and clamp components, sometimes pieces of the tube and head flew off in all directions.This Thomson seatpost has a clamp, head and upper tube strong enough to withstand 350 foot-lbs of torque. The tube will start to yield and bend at the seat tube clamp at about 250 foot-lbs of torque. Under severe impact the Thomson seatpost will bend slightly and allow the rider to come to a safe stop or finish the ride.Thomson Elite Setback Seatpost FeaturesThe Thomson seatpost has all parts captive and can easily be attached to a seat without dis-assembly.Infinite tilt adjustment minus 5° and plus 29°.Very low profile clamps means no seat interference as the swivel nuts are down between the seat rails.The designs and materials have passed extensive life and ultimate strength tests.

  The Thomson Elite DH 31.8mm Riser Handlebar is 800mm wide with 20mm of rise, 9° of backsweep, and 5° of upsweep. It’s built using 7050 Aluminium alloy for strength and long life. 65mm wide clamping area fits Thomson's Direct Mount stem, giving you excellent torsional stiffness. The long straight section in the middle reduces stress concentrations, especially when using wide Direct Mount stems.These handlebars are butted and tapered in many steps for optimal fatigue life. Ends of the bar are thickened from 1.4 to 1.6mm to resist damage from impacts and contact with the ground.These Thomson bars are produced by advanced Hydraulic Press Forming to avoid the need for hand grinding. Almost all other bars are manually bent, and bends are ground to appear smooth. Hydraulic Press Forming ensures very consistent wall thickness and close tolerances, especially in tapered sections. This keeps weight low and fatigue life high.Together with a Thomson stem, this is one of the best Aluminium cockpits you can get.
