ALPITUDE COMPONENTS Seatpost Tonale for SPECIALIZED Tarmac SL8 | 15 mm Offset | 3K Carbon | 250 mm
Between the majestic peaks of the Adamello Range and the valleys of Trentino winds one of Italy’s most historic Alpine passes – the Passo del Tonale. A place where lightness becomes a weapon and pain is nothing more than proof of your Devotion, where thin air meets burning legs and every switchback smells of freedom. Here arises the inspiration for the perfect balance of strength and weight.
Alpitude Tonale – an Italian kiss from the Alps for your Specialized SL8.
Manufactured using the High Pressure Silicone Bladder Molding process, the Tonale outperforms the standard seatpost of your dream bike in every discipline and combines state-of-the-art manufacturing technology with the precision and passion of Italian lightweight construction. The finest, resin-coated carbon fibers are inserted into the mold by hand in precisely defined layers. A silicone bladder on the inside ensures even internal pressure, while the closed mold provides stability from the outside. The carbon laminate is pressed perfectly against the mold wall under high pressure. In this way, the fibers are optimally compacted, excess resin is displaced and even the smallest air pockets are eliminated. After controlled curing, a structure is created that not only has a flawless surface on the outside, but also on the inside.
Save over 30% weight compared to the original seatpost from Specialized - or even up to 50% if you combine the aerodynamically shaped Tonale with an ultra-light Alpitude Gardena, such as the exclusive GIRO 108 special edition.
