Top Features of the Thomson Elite Inline Seat Post
The Thomson Elite seatpost is the standard by which all other seatposts are judged.
- Over 40% stronger on ultimate strength test than the strongest production seatposts on the market
- Lightweight – approximately 188 grams (250 length) for road bikes and 228 grams (330 length) for mountain bikes. Natural ellipse bore inside tube for optimum strength to weight ratio
- The Thomson seatpost has a clamp, head, and upper tube strong enough to withstand 350 foot-lbs of torque. The tube will start to yield and bend at the seat tube clamp at about 250 foot-lbs of torque. Under severe impact the Thomson seatpost will bend slightly and allow the rider to come to a safe stop or finish the ride
- Very low profile clamps means no seat interference as the swivel nuts are down between the seat rails
- Adjustments can be made to the tilt of the seat without moving the seat forwards or backwards
- MTB
- Road
- Weight (g): 220
Forged clamps, integrally machined head, and an elliptically extruded 7000 series aluminum body make the Elite and Setback Elite industry models for strength, light weight and ease of adjustment.
About Seat Posts
A good quality seat post will save weight and hold your saddle securely. Seatposts are made in various materials, alloy and carbon being the two most common, alloy posts are lightweight, durable and cost efficient, while carbon posts are the popular choice for top end machines. Seat posts vary in where they hold the saddle relative to their own centre line so make sure you have enough adjustment on your saddle rails to allow for this or you could end up with your saddle too far forwards. A seat post needs to fit your frame exactly and are measured by as little as 0.2mm. When choosing a new one, either read off the measurement from your old seat post or measure it carefully with a vernier calliper. Make sure you lubricate the frame (unless they're carbon fibre) before insertion or you'll struggle to get it out again.

Magazine reviews for Thomson Elite Inline Seat Post
Review from MBR
In conclusion...
The best bit about the Elite and the reason it gets 10 is the surface finish. It's 'bright dipped', a chemical polishing, before being anodised, and this just seems to last longer than any other post we've tested. Thomson also claims that every part of the post also passes a 350-hour salt spray test. These details make it the best.
Rating: 10/10
Review from What MTB
The elliptical bore shaft is lightweight but still super strong and is designed with an arse saving 'bend not break' failure mode. It comes in a massive range of sizes, three different lengths and even a kinked shaft layback version.
In conclusion...
It's been around a while but Thomsons Elite is still the post to beat.

Review from MBUK
thomson only make stems and posts, and they are some of the best available...although the bolts are 4mm - instead of the more ususal 5mm - we've never had any trouble with them rounding or shearing off, despite years of using Thomson posts. They've also proved incredibly strong at the same time as being light enough for cross-country racing.
The size range is all encompassing, and there are bent-shaft versions giving an inch of layback at the head.
In conclusion...
Super strong, super light and available in every size imaginable. King of seatposts.

Review from What MTB
Based on a beautifully machined evolution of the original twin bolt superpost, Suntour's XC Pro, the Thomson has been king of seatposts for years now.
In conclusion...
If you want any layback you have to go for the slightly wonky looking bent one, but in terms of strength and security under your seat then nothing else gets close, whether you're a racer or a North Shore nutter.
Rating: no rating given
Review from MBR
Thompson seatposts are synonymous with quality and for good reason.
In conclusion...
There just isn't a better inline post on the market than the Elite.
