GEMINI Seatpost Älsak for Specialized Tarmac SL8 | Lightweight 12K matt
The developers at GEMINI have been surrounded by bicycles from an early age and are now applying the knowledge they have acquired in the manufacture of composite materials, resulting from years of experience in the design of motorcycles, bicycles and components, to a high degree of perfection.
The Spaniards are now expanding their portfolio with the newly developed seat post. As with the handlebars, a great deal of attention has been paid to detail. The clamping mechanism has been rethought. The result is the patented pending system, in which the saddle is bolted from above. The threaded barrel for the screw connection is inserted directly into the forged carbon unibody of the seat post. This saves weight and makes the component significantly more stable. During development, care was also taken to ensure that the clamping surface to the saddle rails is as large as possible in order to avoid load peaks and fix the saddle to the post in the best possible way. The seat post is specially designed for the Specialized Tarmac SL8.
The Älsak is made of the best carbon fiber currently available on the market - Mitsubishi MR70, which was specially developed for the most demanding customers in the aerospace industry and is the key to greater comfort and safety. Countless tests in the laboratory and in the field confirm the perfect symbiosis of design and material, which offers optimum conditions for racing.
Screws and threaded barrels made of titanium underline the high-quality impression of the support and ensure that every last possible gram is saved.
Notes:
The seat post must not be shortened in length.
The 12K carbon finish only really comes into its own in bright sunshine, see photo.
