New 89-Gram Dash Cycles Full Carbon Seatpost Saddles Up for Action

I do like the look of it but for $600 at more than half the weight/triple the price of a lot of other options out there…..meh. (I’d be riding the 300 or 350mm heavy duty post. I weigh 170)

Now, if the heaviest one was 89g, I’d be really impressed. However, it’s companies like these that push the envelope, so kudos, keep up the good work!

600US ~ 440 Euro, I will buy Schmolke Carbon TLO. My Schmolke 31.6 x 375mm is weight 104g and the rider limit is 90kg.

$150 Thomson masterpiece 27.2 350mm seatpost = 193g
$600 Dash Cycles 27.2 350 heavy duty mtb seatpost = 150g

To each their own 🙂

@AlanM

Lose some weight then. You are familiar with road cycling morphology, no?

Anything with a weight limit has no place on a mountain bike.

I think this is a first for bikerumor to put up real numbers that matter to people. Hoping to see more of this!

@Mindless- Agree. I don’t know what people are thinking when they put this kind of thing on a mountain bike. On a road bike yeah maybe if you can justify it for greater race speeds.

I get shivers thinking about the wounds created by a snapped carbon fiber seatpost……./shudder

Thompson masterpiece can take a hike. Dash rocks.

Looks nice but a Bontrager Race XXX Lite is 150g for 27.2 x 330 and $200 with no posted weight limit. I have used one on a hardtail for a few years now with no issues. I am 165#.

34.9? wut?

Full-carbon? Whatever… it still needs a carbon bolt. Maybe then we’ll talk.

maybe.

@mindless, So I take it that ZTR Crest wheels, Thomson masterpiece seatposts, and Specialized frames should never be ridden off road? Because they all have weight limits.
