Ritchey’s superlight carbon SuperLogic 1-Bolt seatpost gets a simple facelift on the outside and a smart layup inside, boosting comfort without gaining weight. Plus, there are two new lower-offset options to better fit modern road bike fits. It even gets a >10% lower price than before. But this is a top-tier lightweight carbon post, so we still can’t quite call it affordable.
Ritchey SuperLogic 1-Bolt FlexLogic lightweight carbon post
One of the lightest mainstream seatposts out there, from a claimed 148g (27.2 x 350mm) is now more comfortable. And comes with two new low-offset setback options. Plus, it also gets the latest low-key Ritchey relabeling concept. Gone are the earlier little red accents, now simply gloss black over carbon for a stealthy look to the latest versions of their top-tier SuperLogic components.
What all is new?
Now with a FlexLogic carbon layup, Ritchey says their top lightweight SuperLogic 1-Bolt seatpost is better than ever, offering “15% more vertically compliant than other carbon layups“.
We first experienced FlexLogic more than a dozen years ago when Ritchey introduced it on the MTB line. Originally developed with their XC racing teams back then, Ritchey combines multiple grades of carbon in the layup to add more bump-smoothing fore/aft flex without impacting lateral rigidity. These SuperLogic posts already featured “force-directional butting” with more carbon material in the front & back of the shaft to deliver strength without unnecessary weight. (You can feel that they are not round inside.) Now, that’s where they’ve refined a FlexLogic layup to help smooth vibrations over everything from rough tarmac to cobbles, and from gravel tracks to trails.
As for setback, the new posts also shift from the old 24mm offset, and now you pick between 5mm back or 20mm offset.
Riding with SuperLogic posts & their 1-bolt heads
The Ritchey SuperLogic 1-Bolt seatpost has long been one of the lightest and longest-enduring carbon posts on the market. We’ve been riding them for more than a decade and a half.
My own Festka One Gravel bike has had a SuperLogic Link post in it for 8 1/2 years without any issue. It’s really light, as was already surprisingly comfortable. That’s why – even though I’ve since cycled through several different saddles, many sets of wheels, two groupsets, and ultimately the recent 1-piece SuperLogic Butano bar – the original SuperLogic post is still there today. Set it and forget it. I’m only now considering if I should try out this new one to see if it is even more comfortable.
The 1-bolt head is also used by other companies for their proprietary aero posts, like the one on the new 3T RaceMax² Italia gravel bike that I recently tested.
