Product Information

Full details

The Easton EC70 ISA Seatpost is an ideal upgrade for road cyclists and mountain bikers looking to achieve a precise, stable riding position using high-quality materials. Featuring lightweight unidirectional carbon construction and patented Independent Saddle Adjustment (ISA) technology, this post excels at allowing riders to fine-tune saddle tilt and fore-aft position without compromise. While it offers superior adjustability and security, users should note that the dual-bolt system requires a slightly more methodical approach during initial setup compared to basic single-bolt seatposts.

FAQs

What is the diameter and length of this seatpost?

This model is 27.2mm in diameter and 350mm in length.

How much offset does this seatpost have?

The post features a 20mm head offset.

Do I need special tools to adjust the saddle?

Standard hex keys are used for all adjustments, though a torque wrench is highly recommended for safety and precision.

What is the minimum insertion depth?

The minimum insertion depth required for this seatpost is 80mm.

Troubleshooting

Saddle angle shifting over time

Ensure both pitch adjustment bolts are tightened evenly to the recommended torque specification using a torque wrench.

Seatpost slipping down into the frame

Clean the seat tube and post thoroughly, then re-apply a fresh layer of carbon-specific assembly paste to increase friction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-modulus unidirectional carbon reduces weight and trail buzz
  • Independent tilt adjustment avoids the 'teeter-totter' effect of single-bolt systems
  • Extremely secure locking mechanism prevents saddle angle changes
  • Professional-grade aesthetics compatible with road and mountain builds

Cons

  • Dual-bolt adjustment requires more time during initial setup
  • Minimum insertion depth of 80mm must be strictly respected
  • Requires proper torque maintenance on bolts to ensure carbon safety

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a standard hex key set and a torque wrench to ensure carbon safety. When setting the post, ensure at least 80mm of the shaft is inserted into the frame; exceeding the maximum extension mark will compromise the structural integrity of the carbon. Always apply a thin layer of carbon-specific assembly paste to the seat tube interior to prevent slippage and oxidation. For the ISA head, ensure the dual bolts are tightened in small, alternating increments to prevent binding or uneven pressure on the saddle rails.
