Ultimate Sports Engineering, sibling componentry brand to Exposure, announced their new Vybe GR 50mm Suspension Seat Post at Eurobike. This one is for gravel bikes, with a 27.2mm seat post diameter, and as such is a fair bit lighter than the larger diameter options for MTB.
The concept is very much the same. The Vybe GR can be supplied with the customer’s choice of three different springs; soft, medium and hard, covering a rider weight range of 38-100 kgs . Further tuning can be achieved with the pre-load adjuster screw at the bottom of the post, which can help dial in the post so it doesn’t top-out harshly as you’re riding along.
Total length of the post is 40mm, and claimed weight for the post is dependent on which spring it runs:While the larger diameter Vybe post for mountain bikes features their DURO saddle clamp that allows for a full range of saddle tilt adjustment, the Vybe GR gets a much lighter weight EVO clamp. It’s pretty versatile, able to take a carbon rail or a standard 7mm rail.USE are also fitting out gravel bike cockpits with a new range of Escape GR Carbon Handlebars.
A lot of other gravel bars on the market have hoods that are similarly splayed outwards in line with the flare in the drops, something that riders conditioned to road bars can, we are told, find quite uncomfortable on longer rides. Mark also told us the geometry can make it easier for riders with small hands to reach the brakes while riding on the hoods because there is less twist necessary at the wrist.
