- Secure the seatpost clamp on your bicycle frame to the recommended torque.
- Attach your saddle to the seatpost's adjustable clamp. The two-bolt design allows for precise saddle angle adjustment. Tighten the bolts evenly to secure the saddle.
4.2. Adjusting Suspension

5. Funcionament
Once installed and adjusted, the ShockStop Suspension Seatpost operates automatically, reacting to bumps and vibrations to provide a smoother, more comfortable ride.

This allows you to maintain consistent power output and reduces fatigue, enabling longer and faster rides over varied terrain.
