Cane Creek Thudbuster: Raises the bar for e-bike riders

The Thudbuster has been the standard in the bicycle industry for suspension seat posts for more than 20 years. It gives riders all over the world comfort and reliability that can't be beat. All cane creek thudbuster seatposts feature hard anodized axles and flanged PTFE bushings for low-maintenance service.

Cane creek thudbuster overview

It's not a new idea to use suspension seatposts, but you may be curious about how far the technology would progress and what the benefits of doing so could be in the present era of wider tires and improved comfort geometry.

Take the Thudbuster ST range, for instance. The 50mm of travel it offers is made possible by an interchangeable dampening elastomer in the center, which can be adjusted for rider weight.

When the cyclist is going over bumps, the linkage allows the post to travel down and backward more naturally in response to the opposing force from the rear tire. This reduces the saddle moment for the rider, and it works!

When compared to the early-decade suspension seatposts, which provided some support but felt bouncy.

It's also easy to use the seat clamp. It only has one bolt to tighten, and it works well with both round and oval saddle rails. This makes it easy to set up and adjust for the first time.

Furthermore, it's important to know that the ST seatpost has no layback. So if you already have a post with a layback, you might want to measure where your saddle is in relation to your handlebars.

Key Features and Strengths

Many e-bike riders find that an inflexible seatpost on their hardtail causes constant lower back pain and sciatica. Therefore, they are in favour of cane creek thubbuster seatposts.

Some of the key features of Bikester that they get to enjoy include:

  • No more back pain due to excellent absorption of the terrain.
  • Due to the dual elastomers, your weight can be properly supported.
  • Very comfortable on the road, especially if you often travel long distances over broken asphalt.
  • Three elastomers for varied rider weights.
  • During operation, it is completely silent.
  • Comes in a variety of travel lengths
  • It doesn't need much maintenance.
  • The neoprene cover offers sufficient protection against natural elements.

The pivots should be greased regularly to ensure smooth operation and to avoid squeaking.

Summary

If you're on a tight budget but still want a high level of compliance, the cane creek thudbuster is for you. However, for cross-country or adventure-oriented riders, e-bikes and cargo bikes have the most to gain, but tandem stokers and tandem tandems are still strong bets.
