SL-K Carbon ITC Seatpost SB20/-10

Bikes have evolved rapidly over the last few decades, but one area of engineering that's been slow to change much is that which can cause the biggest headaches: seatpost clamps. Thankfully, some of the sharpest minds in cycling components have dreamt up, and realized, a mighty fine solution: the FSA SL-K Carbon ITC SB20/-10 Seatpost.

The SL-K family of components from FSA is premium gear that somewhat undercuts the prices of the company's top-line K-Force components. As such, the SL-K post is made of unidirectional carbon fiber, keeping weight down and making the post able to absorb a bit of shock from your ride. At the top of the post, however, is where the real brains come in. FSA's new ITC (Independent Top Clamp) design not only makes popping the saddle on and off the post very easy, it also allows for independent adjustment of the saddle's angle and position. Further, the clamps' side plates can be easily repositioned to toggle between two different offsets: -10mm or 20mm.

The FSA SL-K Carbon ITC SB20/-10 Seatpost comes with two different logo finishes — either Red or Black — and in 31.6mm or 27.2mm diameters. All versions are 350mm in length, and the post is appropriate for either road or mountain biking.
