    Thudbuster Post Length

    I've used Cane Creek headsets and Thudbuster posts on several bikes and I have always been pleased with the results. I want to use a Thudbuster LT or ST (both of which I already have) with a Lectric XP Lite. The approx. 600mm Thudbuster posts are not long enough for my inseam length riding this 20" wheel ebike. I need a 650mm length ST or LTD. Could you help me out?

    This will make your hardtail bike super comfortable and even tolerable! It does add some height to your saddle, so if your seat post is already all the way down, it might make the height too tall for you. I had this problem, but found changing to a thinner saddle worked perfectly for me. Even with the thinner saddle, it’s very comfortable.

The Thudbuster is Cane Creek’s proven shock-absorbing suspension seatpost, engineered to reduce riding pain and dramatically increase comfort across a wide range of bikes and terrains. Whether you're on the road or trail, the Thudbuster softens bumps, dips, and drops, making your ride smoother, more enjoyable, and longer-lasting.

Available in two different models:

  • Thudbuster LT offers 3.5 inches (90mm) of travel for maximum comfort and control with a rider weight limit of 250lbs / 113kg, ideal for riders seeking the most suspension benefit.

  • Thudbuster ST provides 2 inches (50mm) of travel with a higher rider weight capacity (up to 330lb / 150kg) and a shorter overall post height, making it perfect for riders with lower saddle height requirements or higher weight requirements.

Both models feature:

  • Patented Parallel Linkage Technology to maintain your natural pedaling motion while absorbing vertical forces

  • No special tools required for seat installation or elastomer spring changes

  • Customizable ride feel with interchangeable elastomer springs: the ST includes 3 elastomers, while additional springs for both models are available separately

Choose the model that best fits your riding style and comfort needs—maximum suspension (LT) or versatile fit and higher load capacity (ST)—and experience a smoother ride with every mile.

Thudbuster

SUSPENSION SEATPOST

The latest generation Thudbuster 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.

Thudbuster ST - Cane Creek Cycling Components

Thudbuster ST: 50mm / 2in of Travel

Thudbuster LT: 90mm / 3.5in of Travel

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.
