The ShockStop PRO RT Suspension Seatpost might seem familiar on the outside, but its redesigned internals offer a Race-Tuned feel. This gives just the right amount of suspension for high-performance gravel and road cycling. The PRO RT significantly cuts down weight by over 130 grams while still using the optimized linkage design of the original ShockStop Suspension Seatpost. **Benefits**: - Race-Tuned: The elastomers have a progressive spring rate. They make the suspension work smoothly to absorb the vibrations of gravel riding, while providing a solid base to boost pedal power. Like the elastomer-based ShockStop Suspension Stem, the PRO seatpost RT lets you stay in control, focused on the ride, and less tired after each trip. - PRO Level: It's 25% lighter (130 grams less!) than the standard ShockStop Seatpost and has an ultra-sleek look. - Go further: Reduces fatigue from bumps and vibrations. - Ride faster: Converts the energy usually wasted on body suspension into forward movement. - Take control: Glides over obstacles and keeps you in control. **Details**: - Available in 350mm length and 27.2mm diameter (use shims for other seatube sizes). - 20mm of active suspension travel. - Race-Tuned progressive spring rate elastomers. - Optimized linkage geometry for an ultra-responsive suspension feel. - Check technical specifications for compatibility.

Using your Shockstop Pro Race-Tuned Suspension Seatpost is easy. First, make sure it's the right size for your bike. If it's a 27.2mm diameter and your seat tube is a different size, use the provided shims. Slide the seatpost into the seat tube and tighten it properly, but don't over - tighten. When you're riding, the seatpost will automatically adjust to the bumps and vibrations, giving you a smoother ride. Remember to check the compatibility with your bike by looking at the technical specifications. As for maintenance, keep it clean. After a muddy or wet ride, wipe it down with a clean cloth. Periodically, check the elastomers for any signs of wear. If they look damaged or too worn, it might be time to replace them. This will ensure your seatpost keeps performing at its best and gives you many great rides.
