DESCENDANT DH Seatpost
Model Overview
Set it and forget it. The most important attribute of a DH seatpost is that you forget it’s there—until you need it to be there. The 3D forged and highly adjustable Descendant DH seatpost is “built to simply do its job so that you can do yours.” The DH post features zero layback (and a cradle for relaxed seat angles) and comes in 30.9mm and 31.6mm
with a length of 350mm.
DESCENDANT Seatpost
There’s also a more XC version.
DESCENDANT Stem
A trail and enduro stem, coming in 40, 50 and 60mm lengths, it features a four bolt faceplate and is 3D forged.
So, there you go. The new Truvativ Descendant range.
