The CF3 Pro Carbon seatpost is no exception: this new road-specific seatpost is comfort-oriented and designed to soften your road bike\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s play. You simply need to adjust the seat\u2019s angle by first sliding the blades to the correct angle, then by tightening the seatpost\u2019s screws on top.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The CF3 offers great comfort for those long stretches, while giving your ride a fresh new look.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>CF3 Pro Carbon seatpost from Ergon retails for $291.99 and is available from <a href=\"\/\/www.livetoplaysports.com\/en\/find-a-dealer\/ergon\/\">LTP Sports dealers<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an effort to dampen those road vibrations and make long training rides more comfortable, the crew at V\u00e9lo Mag put Ergon\u2019s CF3 Pro Carbon seatpost to the test. \u201cThe CF3 offers great comfort for those long stretches, while giving&#8230;..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8],"tags":[381,78,691,657,270],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4896"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4896"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4896\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5856,"href":"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4896\/revisions\/5856"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
