POSTS
To make our posts light and incredibly dependable—you ever broken a post on a ride? Not fun—we apply the same disciplined engineering, tireless search for just the right materials and a literally endless cycle of testing. The result is a range of posts that are designed for nearly every type of riding and feature innovative solutions such as Taperwall technology and Relief-Area Design. Just to be sure you know we’re confident in their performance we send each one out the door with a five-year warranty.
What’s R.A.D.? Glad you asked. It’s a flat spot running the length of Easton steer tubes and seat posts, corresponding with the clamp zone of stems and seatpost clamps. Removing material in these critical zones prevents clamping forces from pinching and damaging carbon tubing.
Taperwall
Defined: TaperWall technology infuses our tubing with the unique performance characteristics revered by cycling enthusiasts and world-class athletes alike. Our computer-modulated draw benches allow us to create multiple tapers in the same tube, so the tube walls can be reinforced anywhere along their length with incredible precision. The result is jeweler-smooth walls that eliminate the stress points typical of other manufacturer’s tubing. Strength, weight, fatigue life, and responsiveness are all enhanced.
Easton also applies TaperWall technology to out carbon components. This enables us to apply more material to wall surfaces where stiffness is paramount and less material to areas requiring more compliance.
Advantage: Radically enhanced strength and durability and less weight. Lively, responsive ride quality and improved shock absorption.
