The Carbon Seatpost from Hope Technology is light but extremely strong making it suitable for most cycling disciplines. From cross country racing to downhill and road bikes, this UK manufactured seatpost is ready for anything. 100% designed, tested and manufactured in Barnoldswick, EnglandSmooth internal surface finish removes any unnecessary resin rich areas to minimise weightVarying wall sections to optimise weight and areas of high stress concentrationsSame ultra-fine seat rail adjustment as tried and proven on our previous Eternity Seatpost15mm layback / Weight: 27.2mm 185g, 30.9mm & 31.6 220gThese seatposts have been built using 24 individual piles of carbon with highly toughened epoxy resin system that delivers a safe, strong and rugged seatpost. The laminate comprises unidirectional T700 fibre which is the highest strength standard fibre available. This provides maximum tensile strength whilst keeping weight to a minimum. This is combined with strategically positioned plies of 3K twill woven fabric, adding hoop strength to resist clamping forces and mitigating failure mode in the event of serious crash damage. The 1K 2x2 twill weave fabric outer ply, also contributes in this respect together with a super smooth finish and striking visual aesthetic.
