Long-travel suspension seatpost
Using parallel-link technology, Cane Creek's legendary Thudbuster is an advanced, effective and versatile suspension seatpost.
The parallel-link technology provides a clear advantage in traction, comfort and control without sacrificing performance. Available in both Long Travel and Short Travel configurations, with a range of elastomer spring rates, the Thudbuster is tunable to match your weight and riding preference.
Bolt-on comfort
For more than 20 years, Thudbuster has been the bicycle industry-standard in suspension seatposts by providing superb comfort and reliability to riders around the world.
It's proud to announce the latest evolution to that legacy with the all-new Thudbuster LT, which is superior to its predecessor in every way. Building on Thudbuster’s proven parallel-linkage technology Cane Creek has 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 adding the Thudbuster rear suspension you’ll ride faster, longer and stronger with better traction, more control and less fatigue. The performance, simplicity and relatively low weight make it an outstanding suspension upgrade for your hardtail. Based on a patented parallel-linkage design, the Thudbuster LT provides up to three inches of active stiction-free travel.
Unlike telescoping suspension posts, there is no initial stiction to overcome – the suspension mechanism works in the direct path of the natural travel of the rear wheel. The elastomers provide the compression and rebound damping, and can be easily exchanged to tune the suspension
