KHE just sent over news about its new seat/seatpost combo. Keep reading for the details.

Hi everyone, we want to give you a taste of the pioneering projects you can expect from KHE this year.

Thomas just got back from a recent Taiwan trip and brought back some interesting prototypes, like this new seat/seatpost-combo that is being tested right now.

With a total weight of 190g/6.7oz (including the alloy seat post!), this gem weighs less than your average seat alone. Because most riders ride their seat at the same angle anyway, we figured that there’s no need for heavy seat guts anymore. By eliminating the seat guts, we were able to substantially lower the weight of the seat/seat post-combo. The retail price will be the same like a normal saddle costs alone.

The new combo could lower the weight of KHE Barbados AM complete bikes by 500g/1.1lbs, yet the retail price won’t increase. Be sure to check out an interview with Thomas about this new product in the next issue of RideUK.
