Stiff, light and strong – Hope makes this carbon seatpost in its own Barnoldswick factory, and it is built to shrug off downhill abuse while staying light enough for road and cross-country bikes.

Highlights

  • Designed, tested and manufactured in England
  • Toray T700 unidirectional carbon with 3K and 1K twill plies for hoop and crash strength
  • Aircraft-grade aluminium rail clamps with ultra-fine angle adjustment
  • Choice of round (circular) or elliptical rail clamp – elliptical suits 7 x 9mm carbon rails
  • 15mm layback; 185g (27.2mm) or 220g (30.9 and 31.6mm)

Built like a race part

Each post uses 24 individual plies of carbon pre-impregnated with a toughened epoxy. Most of the laminate is unidirectional T700 fibre for strength and stiffness, with 3K twill plies placed to resist clamping forces and a 1K twill outer ply for a smooth finish. Wall sections vary along the post to save weight where it is not needed, and the smooth internal finish removes resin-rich areas.

Compatibility & fit

Match the diameter to your frame's seat tube. Hope specifies a conventional round seat clamp only – never a wedge-style clamp – and at least 80mm of post inside the frame. Fitting is a separate Tune Cycles workshop service – book a workshop service.
