Specialized Seat Clamp

No, this clamp is specifically engineered for the Specialized Aethos and Epic Hardtail models. It features a 30.0 mm diameter, so it will not fit frames requiring different seat tube dimensions.

The titanium bolt offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio. It allows you to shave a few grams off your bike's total weight without sacrificing the clamping security needed to keep your seatpost from slipping.

Yes, using a torque wrench is highly recommended. The maximum torque for this clamp is 6.2 Nm, and exceeding that can damage the bolt or your frame, while under-tightening may lead to seatpost movement.

Yes, it is compatible with carbon seatposts, provided you adhere strictly to the 6.2 Nm torque limit. We also recommend using a high-quality carbon assembly paste to ensure a secure grip without needing excessive tightening force.

It is designed to handle both. The secure clamping force is robust enough to withstand the vibrations and impacts of trail riding on an Epic Hardtail, while the minimalist design suits the aesthetic of a high-performance road bike like the Aethos.
