Abstract
A liftable seatpost includes an outer tube, an inner tube, and a bushing. A protrusion is provided at the outer surface of the inner tube. The bushing is disposed between the inner and outer tubes and includes an upper sleeve and a lower sleeve. The upper sleeve has an upper baffle ring with a first engaging portion. The lower sleeve has a lower baffle ring with a second engaging portion engaged with the first engaging portion of the upper sleeve. The edges of the upper and lower sleeves are abutted against each other, and the outer surface of the upper baffle ring is flushed with the outer surface of the lower baffle ring. Thus, the position corresponding to the bushing will not protrude too much and affect the appearance, and the stress transmitted from the protrusion of the inner tube to the upper sleeve can be effectively distributed.
