After an updated bike fit, I'm looking for a seatpost with c.10mm offset.

It needs to be 27.2, take a Di2 battery, and I'd like the ability to take both round and oval rails.

What's out there? It seems to be slim pickings.

I second the Superlogic 2-bolt. Lightest non-inline post one can find without going boutique carbon.

Deda Superleggero (12mm setback) is not as light, but more aesthetically pleasing in terms of shape to my eyes.

Bike Ahead The seatpost (offset)
With it's special coating it will not ever slip and you need not use high torque at all. I have 3Nm.
In terms of weight, looks and the fact it doesn't slip what more could you ask for :wink:
Bikes:

Ax Lightness Vial EVO Race (2019.01.03)
Open *UP* (2016.04.14)
Paduano Racing Fidia (kind of shelved)


Ex bike; Vial EVO D, Vial EVO Ultra, Scott Foil, Paduano ti bike.

Ooh. I wasn't aware of that. Spendy, but looks good.

I hated my Ritchey Superlogic, would slip forwards if there was a sudden impact despite being torqued to spec with carbon paste.

That probably wasn't the 2-bolt version though @Alex222?

Just double checked and it was the 2 bolt version. Assume I was just unlucky as no one else has suffered the same problem.
