Alien Aero TT / Tri Carbon Rigid Seatpost
The USE Alien seat post has been the market leader in the lightweight performance sector for six years. The Alien has continually evolved with the latest being the Alien Cyclops. Using a larger (3mm hex key) single bolt central to the clamp design, the Alien Cyclops makes adjustment easier and faster. The new Cyclops design is stronger than ever and is even 5g lighter. The Alien Cyclops has a unique one-key release mechanism that makes re-adjustment as simple as a turn of the hex key.
New Triathlon / Time Trial Aero carbon features forward position clamp to help perch more aerodynamically and aid transitions to running if a Tri-athlete. Clamp parts and Alien Hook have been hard anodised giving maximum anti-corrosion from salt-water body run-off after Triathlon open water swims.
The position of the rider is critical. The Triathlon Alien Aero offers the rider up to 8mm layback (12mm less than a standard Aero Alien).
The Triathlon Alien Aero seat post is designed for the rider who says speed is everything. The Aero post has undergone strict CFD testing to ensure the optimum shape is obtained. Not only is it the fastest post in the range it's got to be one of the best looking.
Before any Aero post leaves our factory, we ensure it passes our NDT (Non Destructive Testing) facility. All this analysis and testing ensures that the Aero post is chosen by champions.
