Thudbuster LT

SUSPENSION SEATPOST

The latest generation Thudbuster LT is superior to its predecessor in every way.  Building on Thudbuster’s proven parallel linkage technology we have completely re-designed the seatpost for increased durability, additional suspension travel, as well as ease of use through tool-free elastomer change and a single-bolt seat clamp design.

By improving on this already legendary design, we’re confident to say that the newest generation Thudbuster is the most advanced suspension seatpost ever made.

90mm / 3.5in of Travel

Tool Free Elastomer Change

Parallel Linkage Design

The Thudbuster Parallel Linkage technology stays in the direct path of the natural travel of the rear wheel. As a bump lifts the back of a bicycle, the rear wheel pushes up and forward into the rider. The Thudbuster works by compressing along the exact opposite path — down and rearward — absorbing force at the same rate.

This results in a natural suspension feel without being overly active, and allows for more travel without compromising pedaling position.

Q & A

I want to mount a thudbuster on my dutch-style bakfiets, but it has a very relaxed seat tube angle around 60 degrees. Is there a spec for how far forward the seat can be tipped, and should i expect the shock to act any differently at this angle? E.g. should i pick a stiffer elastomer? Anton asked on May 27, 2024

Hello, our Thudbusters were not designed to be used with very relaxed seat tubes, however, they will work. We would recommend using a stiffer elastomer.

How does the elastomer fare in the cold? I live in northern MN, and would like to use this on my fatbike year-round, even in subzero conditions. Is that possible? Andrew asked on May 12, 2024

Hello, thanks for reaching out, it is possible to use our Thudbuster in these temperatures, however, the elastomer will stiffen up significantly in these temperatures.

Hello, we do not offer a different saddle clamp kit for oval rails, sorry.

Are your seat suitable for cargo bikes give that cargo bikes often get lift from the seat? Nigel asked on February 20, 2024

Hello, our Thudbuster seat post can be used on cargo bikes that offer a 27.2, 30.9 and 31.6mm seat tube.

Why don't you allow customers to order the correct elastomer that they need when they order their Thudbuster oe eeSilk, rather than having it be an additional purchase for those who aren't in the "medium" weight category? Kathy Benton asked on December 15, 2023

Very disappointed. Bought this from you for my girlfriend who wanted some suspension for her hard tail . Bought XS elastomer also as she weighs under 140 lbs. Changing elastomers was much harder than shown in video and offers very little movement. Also the seat clamp is a bad design, needs to be extremely tight to stop tilt movement !
