In an effort to dampen those road vibrations and make long training rides more comfortable, the crew at Vélo Mag put Ergon’s CF3 Pro Carbon seatpost to the test.
“The CF3 offers great comfort for those long stretches, while giving your ride a fresh new look.”
Read on, to learn more about their test.
Translated, from Vélo Mag:
Ergon’s main focus is always optimal fit, whether it’s designing new grips, seats, or gloves. The CF3 Pro Carbon seatpost is no exception: this new road-specific seatpost is comfort-oriented and designed to soften your road bike’s stiffness, while also dampening harsh road conditions. It does so by using its dual parallel carbon blade design which quickly responds to each incoming shock. And its double pivot construction keeps the seat well aligned with the ground.
The CF3 Pro carbon was tested extensively in the Pyrenees (under good conditions) and proved worthy of the Ergon name. The slightest road imperfection caused the seatpost to go into reverse compression mode without being limp, which is good news for any rear end. Installing the CF3 Pro is child’s play. You simply need to adjust the seat’s angle by first sliding the blades to the correct angle, then by tightening the seatpost’s screws on top.
The CF3 offers great comfort for those long stretches, while giving your ride a fresh new look.
CF3 Pro Carbon seatpost from Ergon retails for $291.99 and is available from LTP Sports dealers.
