The patent-pending Redshift Sports Dual-Position Seatpost lets you switch your saddle on-the-fly between a normal road position and an aero position that’s similar to the setup of a tri bike. The steeper effective seat tube angle opens up your hip angle and maintains proper leg extension, letting you ride more comfortably and efficiently in the aero position. Riding a long flat into a headwind? Shift the saddle forward and drop into a wind-cheating aero position. Grinding up a steep climb? Shift the saddle backward and spin comfortably in the road position.

The seatpost is designed to maintain the same pedal-to-saddle length in both positions, ensuring proper leg extension in the road and aero riding positions. Also, since some riders prefer more forward saddle tilt while riding in an aero position, the seatpost includes an additional adjustment that tilts the saddle forward by up to five degrees when you move from the road to the aero position. The mechanism is completely stable in both positions – a spring-loaded stop holds it securely in place until you decide to change positions.

Together with the Redshift Sports Quick-Release Aerobars (sold separately), the Dual-Position Seatpost gives you a truly integrated aero position, without compromising your normal road setup.

The seatpost is constructed from aerospace grade 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. The post is 27.2 mm in diameter by 350 mm in length. Shims (sold separately) can be used to adapt the seatpost to bikes with larger seatpost diameters. The seatpost accepts saddles with standard round 7 mm saddle rails. The seatpost weighs 400 g including all hardware.

Seeing that many droppers have finicky actuation that’s much too difficult to initiate, the savvy riders at Wolftooth Components designed the Light Action ReMote for lighter, smoother throws of the dropper lever. This light and smooth actuation is possible thanks to a longer lever arm, which creates more leverage for less force required before your dropper starts to lower and raise in height. It’s compatible with all cable-actuated dropper posts on the market, allowing you to scrap the stock remote for this beautiful lever. Wolf Tooth recommends measuring the distance from the pivot center to the end of your current dropper lever before settling on this remote. If this distance is greater than 52-millimeters, the Light Action is best, where shorter distances between pivot center and lever end are suited for Wolf Tooth’s Standard Remote. It’s available in a myriad of clamp mounting options for keeping your cockpit tidy. UpFront cable fixing makes for quick and easy installation, due to the dropper cable being attached at the lever. Another benefit, it has a solid-mounted barrel adjuster for making on-the-fly adjustments.

Designed to deliver maximum performance in a lightweight chassis, the Rainier 27.2 dropper post is all about reliable performance for riders looking for 80mm of travel in a 27.2mm diameter post. And best of all, you’ll have plenty of cash left over to take the Squad out for beers when you feel bad for roasting them on the trail. Built from the ultra light and strong 7075-t73 alloy, the Rainier dropper post offers 80mm travel and ergonomically designed remote lever. Make sure to measure the seat tube of your bike to ensure this post will fit. Some full suspension models with a bend or pivot placed through the seat tube can interfere with inserting the post to desired height.

If you’re the kind of rider that shimmies around on the saddle a great deal, the WTB Volt Pro Saddle might be your ticket to comfort. When you find yourself riding off the back of the saddle, the Volt features a raised ‘whale’ tail that tilts your pelvis forward and leverages pedaling efforts with greater efficiency. As you slowly migrate forward in preparation for a difficult climb, the front of the Volt offers greater support while you hammer. This versatility, as well as the center “Love Channel” and efficient but flexible Flex-Tuned Shell, makes it a solid choice for road and trail enthusiasts.

Lighter and faster. Flex optimized carbon shell. Lightweight Tin ox Rails. Silicon nose flanks to prevent rubbing.

The Carbon seatpost features a bonded aluminum head. With the most fore/aft adjustment the 2cm offset can be used by riders who need a 0 offset up to a 4cm offset thanks to the cradle design. The two bolt design allow for effortless installation and infinite angle adjustment. Works with both 7mm and 9mm rail saddles.

Every rider likes a comfortable saddle, but some are more prepared to shell out serious coin than others. If you’re looking to save some green for other upgrades but want a saddle that can do it all, the WTB Volt Race Saddle is a good call. The only difference between the Volt Race and Volt Pro is the padding — the Race foregoes the DNA padding in favor of WTB’s standard padding, which doesn’t offer quite the weight savings but keeps comfort levels high. If you find yourself riding off the back of the saddle, the Volt features a raised ‘whale’ tail that tilts your pelvis forward and leverages pedaling efforts with greater efficiency. As you slowly migrate forward in preparation for a difficult climb, the front of the Volt offers greater support while you hammer. This versatility, the central channel, and efficient but flexible Flex-Tuned Shell all make it a solid choice for road and trail enthusiasts.

By using a single piece, forged head and shaft instead of bonding separate units, Zipp was able to make its Service Course SL Seatpost even more Super Light. The titanium bolts also contribute to weight loss, and the fact that they’re easily reached from below means that you can simply adjust your saddle position once it’s installed. The clamps themselves feature a low profile which provides more clearance and a wider range of fore/aft adjustment.
