Darimo Carbon Seatpost for Cannondale LAB71 — Straight
The Cannondale LAB71 frame is already doing the hard work. Ultra-light, stiff, and sharply balanced, it’s one of the few modern race frames where the structure itself isn’t the limiting factor.
Where Cannondale still plays it safe is the seatpost. OEM posts are designed to satisfy broad rider profiles and warranty margins, which leaves unnecessary mass sitting high in the bike — exactly where experienced riders feel it most.
This Darimo seatpost is the cleanest way to refine a LAB71 build without changing geometry, ride feel, or stiffness.
Why LAB71 riders upgrade here
- ⚖️ Weight removed up high, where it’s most noticeable
- 🧩 LAB71-specific aero profile, no adapters or compromise
- 🧵 Boutique carbon layup, not mass-produced OEM
- 🏁 Race-focused refinement, not cosmetic change
This upgrade doesn’t change the character of the LAB71. It simply removes weight that adds no performance benefit, leaving the bike sharper and more deliberate.
Is this seatpost specific to the Cannondale LAB71?
Yes. This seatpost is built specifically for the LAB71 aero seatpost profile. It is not interchangeable with SuperSix EVO or other Cannondale models.
Why is this LAB71 seatpost straight only?
The LAB71 platform is designed around modern, forward saddle positions. Cannondale does not meaningfully support a LAB71-specific setback configuration, so this post is produced in straight only to keep fitment clean and predictable.
Will this affect stiffness or ride quality?
No. Darimo seatposts are engineered for stiffness-to-weight efficiency. Ride feel and structural integrity are preserved while removing unnecessary mass.
Is this a comfort upgrade?
No. This is a performance-led weight reduction. Any perceived change comes from reduced mass, not added compliance.
Can the seatpost be cut to length?
No. Darimo seatposts are designed to be used at their supplied length. Cutting the post can compromise structural integrity and is not recommended.
How do I confirm compatibility before ordering?
If you’re unsure, send through your LAB71 frame year and size. Compatibility can be confirmed before the order is placed.
