EIGHTPINS dropper seatpost
The next evolutionary step with integrated seat posts.
More stroke. No shortening. Quick and easy height adjustment with
large adjustment band width.
The seat tube of the bicycle frame becomes the immersion tube and
housing of the Eightpins seat post. The thick continuous standpipe
fits seamlessly into the design of the bike. The large overlap
between seat post and frame as well as the large tube diameter
ensure low wear and low service forces. The Eightpins sliding guide
in combination with the outer sleeve for sealing and lubrication
ensure long reliable operation. Dirt is effectively prevented and
an oil bath lubricates the seat post reliably.
Good bye saddle clamp
For 120 years, seat posts were clamped into the bicycle frame. With
the Eightpins Postpin thru axle that has an end. The positive
connection between frame and seat post holds the seat post in place
and prevents it from twisting. Important components are not crushed
and the function is not affected.
Less is more
The EIGHTPINS seat post uses the frame of the mountain bike as a
housing and therefore requires only a single tube for telescoping.
This construction reduces the components to the bare essentials and
thus saves weight, while at the same time increasing stability.
With the Postpin mounting system the seat post is fixed with a thru
axle directly in the frame above the bottom bracket.
Lowering without deflection
Performance should not stop in front of a telescopic seat post on a
mountain bike. Two features make the NGS2 seat post unique in
function and feel. A pure gas pressure spring with linear design
provides minimal counterforce when lowering the seat post and the
patented Eightpins snap-in technology snaps in precisely with a
clear haptic feedback at the desired height. This ensures minimal
distraction on the trail.
Matching every body size
A lot of stroke turned into more stroke. The NGS 2 seat post offers
up to 258mm lift in the XXL version and the XS version also offers
168mm lowering. This offers 99% leg length coverage and gives a lot
of freedom of movement for difficult downhill passages where the
saddle often stands in the way. For the correct adjustment of the
saddle height, each seat post provides between 102mm and 132mm
adjustment width, depending on the size. The frame of the bike and
the seat post grow together.
Travel & extension
The maximum travel depends on the frame height. As the height
adjustment is independent from the travel adjustment, all riders
may find their preferred setup without the need to exchange the
seatpost itself.
Mechanical locking
The mechanical locking combines precise adjustment possibilities,
low weight and high stability. The system connects the seatpost
with the cartridge quickly and securely in the desired position.
The small step adjustment makes possible a locking every 6 mm
within the entire travel and thus allows for the right saddle
height for every imaginable riding situation.
Lift proof
Different from common hydraulic constructions, the bike can be
lifted or hung up even as the seatpost is lowered. The mechanical
locking will not let down your bike.
Adjust and Go
Setting the correct saddle height has never been so easy. Simply
sit on the bike and adjust the desired height using the lowering
lever. Then dismount and turn the height adjustment knob up and
down with a small Allen key. That's it.
No more complete exchange
No more compromises in the design of saddle heights and seat post strokes! The Eightpins seat post can be easily adapted to all needs. The seat post no longer needs to be replaced in the trade or at the customer's due to too much or too little stroke and or total length.
No more shortening necessary
The Eightspins seat post tubes have a specific length for each size. This means that the seat post no longer has to be shortened. This makes the Eightpins system the first integrated telescopic seat post system that does not have to be adjusted to the rider's size by sawing.
