The bike ahead composites THE SETBACK is the sister model of the THE STRAIGHT. It has a clamping offset of 15mm, aimed at an extended range of adjustment of the saddle.
Externally, THE SETBACK differs from THE STRAIGHT by its slim and aesthetic neck shape. Inside, however, beats the same heart: excellent manufacturing from carbon as well as our innovative NSA technology combine different materials into a perfectly functioning unit.
Technical details of the bike ahead composites THE SETBACK seatpost
- consists largely of carbon, even the clamping yoke, which is made of aluminum in many lightweight seatposts
- Seat yoke made from one piece for stress-free assembly
- Titanium bolts - high-strength yet lightweight
- clamping area with patented NSA surface
- allowable rider weight (rider and backpack) 105kg
- offset 15mm
Weights: 130g (300mm) / 138g (350mm) / 145g (400mm)
Quality guideline
Safety for the customer and a consistently high quality of the products are bike ahead composites a special concern. 100% of all parts leaving the production are therefore subjected to a quality test. In development they use their own test benches to simulate the loads in driving operation. Before new products are introduced to the market, recognized institutes in Germany additionally test their durability in continuous operation.
Since bike ahead composites also produces in the aerospace, racing and medical technology sectors, they can form many synergies here with the manufacture of bicycle products. Therefore, they are proud to operate a manufacturing with such quality claim - MADE IN GERMANY.
