Vario seatposts have arrived in cross country, but are still mostly heavy. With the new Transfer SL, Fox is launching what is probably the lightest seatpost on the market. This is available in 27.2, 30.9 and 31.6 millimeter diameters and offers 50 or 70, and 70 or 100 millimeter travel for thicker posts. The weight of the mechanical post starts at 327 grams - without holes, of course.

Lightweight stems are often insufficiently torsionally stiff in relation to the frame and handlebars. To ensure that power and steering precision are not lost, Swiss component specialist Ceetec has developed the lightweight and stiff Phenum C10 stem. Available in lengths of 70 to 100 millimetres and weighing 100 to 121 grams, the stem amazed even the operators of the test laboratory in terms of stability.
