A single bolt for clamping and adjustment is the lightest, most simple way to make a seatpost. The Elite Post uses a special Scandium alloy which is stronger than 7075 aluminum while reducing weight. Due to the material make up, we are also able to supply a straight gauge tube that is lighter than most thin wall butted tubes. The Elite Post uses precision machined 6061 aluminum head clamp parts. CNC machining is superior to casting or forging when parts need to mate up perfectly.
All excess material is removed from the clamps to reduce weight.
This process is the strongest way to build a titanium bolt.
