Abstract: The invention relates to a seat pillar with a seat pillar tube, a seat pillar head fastened to one of the two ends of the seat pillar tube, and a clamping device, which is arranged on the seat pillar head, for a seat frame. In order to provide a seat pillar which, in particular in the case of sports bikes, reduces the high loadings in the genitals/perineum region of the cyclist and restricts the maximum pivoting angle of the clamping device from a starting position, it is proposed that the seat pillar head has a pivot axis which runs perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the seat pillar tube, and the clamping device is arranged pivotably about a defined pivot axis counter to the force of a spring element, wherein the pivoting angle is restricted by stop means integrated in the seat pillar head.
