A Secure 38.6mm Clamp with a Clean Burgtec Finish.
The Burgtec 38.6mm Seat Clamp is a lightweight replacement or colour upgrade for compatible mountain bike frames. Made from 6061-T6 aluminium with corrosion-resistant stainless-steel hardware, it keeps the seatpost securely positioned while adding a tidy finishing detail to the bike.
Burgtec identifies the 38.6mm version as a size used predominantly on selected Specialized full-suspension frames. This is only a general guide, however, and it should not be assumed to fit every Specialized bike.
Check the Clamp Diameter
The 38.6mm measurement refers to the outside diameter of the frame’s seat tube where the clamp fits. It does not refer to the diameter of the seatpost itself.
Frame construction and seat-tube wall thickness vary between bikes, even when they use the same seatpost diameter. Check the size marked on the original clamp, consult the frame specification or measure the frame before ordering.
Dropper-Friendly Installation
The opening at the rear of the clamp is wide enough to make installation easier around many internally routed dropper-post cables. Depending on the frame and cable routing, this may allow the clamp to be changed without disconnecting the dropper cable.
Check the routing before removing the original clamp and avoid pulling, twisting or placing unnecessary tension on the dropper cable or hose.
6061-T6 Aluminium Construction
The clamp is made from 6061-T6 aluminium for a useful balance of strength, durability and low weight. Its smooth edges and minimal shape give it a clean appearance that works well alongside other Burgtec finishing parts.
A corrosion-resistant stainless-steel bolt provides dependable clamping through regular riding and wet conditions.

Our Thoughts
This is a straightforward way to replace a damaged clamp or match the seat-clamp colour to your Burgtec pedals, stem, grips or chainring. It is light, neatly finished and uses stainless-steel hardware that is well suited to mountain bikes ridden in mixed conditions.
The main thing to check is the diameter. Although this size is commonly found on Specialized full-suspension bikes, it does not fit every model or frame generation. Confirm that your frame requires a 38.6mm clamp before ordering.
Use the torque specified by the frame or seatpost manufacturer when fitting it. Excessive tightening can damage the frame or seatpost and may prevent a dropper post from moving freely.
