Matching the covetable weight and beauty of their handcrafted carbon saddles, the new Dash Cycles Carbon Seatpost brings gram savings further down the bike.
It’s a simple single bolt design using carbon rail clamps on a curved base to adjust both tilt and slide. Weights are as low as 89g, and they’ll offer it in two diameters with varying layups for different weight riders and for road or mountain bike use. The clamps will work with standard 7mm round saddle rails or the oblong 7x9mm rails found on many carbon saddles. Setback is 15mm.
Retail is set at $600. If that didn’t scare you away, read on for a breakdown of weights and options…
The seatpost is available in four layups, three lengths and two diameters. Based on the math on their website, here’s how they stack up in grams:
