Ending the overview of the range 3T Mtb in the Pro version with the Doric Pro seatpost, which may be the perfect complement stem ARX and Xida fold, all in the Pro version, we have studied in the past. The Doric Pro is a proposed aluminum seatpost in 3 different diameters 27.2, 30.9 and 31.6 mm. The closure of the seat is via the two screws, so as to allow a precise adjustment of the inclination of the seat. These reference points for the control of the saddle. In width from 27.2 mm weighs 300 grams, as observed with our instrumentation.

The road test

The Doric Pro seatpost, like the other products in the Pro range, is very well done. The presence of the positive points of reference for the alignment of the ideal saddle height. Excellent also the solution of the closure of the saddle with a double life, a trick usually left in the top range models. The twin screw allows precise adjustment of the inclination of the seat, allowing you just the ideal set-up, without compromise. Not a bad weight, at least in view of the price range of the product. On the saddle you can appreciate the stiffness of the seat and the perfect stability of the slide seat, which remains anchored to the head of the seat post. Only the high stiffness may disappoint those looking for an attack that can absorb the vibrations, but with a full aluminum product is not possible. 3T in the range there are other products, such as the Doric Team, or LTD, which allow you to combine rigidity, light weight and comfort, even at the expense of a much higher price. Instead, for his method of creation and its price list the Doric pro, is not afraid to drive because reliable effective and relatively inexpensive. The price, it is looking for 60 Euro, very good in all respects.
