Elite Seat is the brain child of long time BMXer, Darren James, a handy racer with a lions share of national title wins, and ex-pat Kiwi who’s now based out of Queensland. The Elite Seat is an innovative twist on the cool down/warm up post extender that are common at BMX race meetings around the world, and they don’t appear to be going anywhere any time soon.

On the surface the Elite Seat looks like a standard cool down/warm up extender post, but where it differs is it’s combined to work in conjunction with a slightly modified Box One seat. In simple terms the Box One seat has a hole drilled in the top to allow the Elite Seat post to drop into the existing seat and lock into position. That’s right, you don’t need to remove your race seat at all while other post extenders require you to remove the race seat completely.

There are many advantages to this system, the obvious ones are;

• reduced wear and tear on your race seat
• reduced opportunity to introduce dirt and grit in between the seat post and seat tube on your frame
• no need to use tools or a quick release seat clamp to remove the race seat
