AZ_AlanS Date Reviewed: March 31, 2013 Strengths: None. This is by far the worst bike related purchase I have ever made. New out of the box the post was sticky at the topped out position. KS rep assured me it would break in and smooth out. If not he advised the I could take it apart and lightly sand the inside of the bushing. After a couple months I returned it to KS. They shipped it back to the LBS without any repairs stating it was working fine. Still sticking in the top position. Bottom line is I sent this back to KS 3 time and it still sticks. I gave it back to the LBS without a refund. I will never buy another KS product. Weaknesses: Difficult to adjust the seat angle, the seat clamp is horrible. Post sticks in the topped out position, must raise your ass off the seat and slam down to get released. Returned to KS 3 times for warranty and still did not work properly. This product does not deserve 1 flaming chili but that is the lowest option. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Crank Brothers Joplin , Specialized Command Post Bike Setup: Specialized Stumpjumper FSR 29

a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: November 8, 2012 Strengths: none Weaknesses: where do i start. Ok mine broke after only 3 rides. bad angle adjustment broke the aluminum ribs off, because the seat didn't stay where it suppose to lock in, so i had to tighten it a little more and quashed the aluminum ribs, they are soft as butter really not the right grade of aluminum for a part which has to hold 180lb + rider. "A BIG ENGINEERING FAILURE" Kind shock also has the worst warranty service, i have never experience something like that. they are working on mine since almost 3 month. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Similar Products Used: Joplin (junk), Reverb (good), Giant (good)

from Syracuse, New York Date Reviewed: December 4, 2011 Strengths: Great design and very smooth action. My initial impression was very positive. The design looks great, no slop in action, and has a great range of travel. Weaknesses: Failed after less than 10 hours of use. The post doesn't stay in the up position. Instead it just compresses under light pressure. Kind Shock didn't respond to my request for repair or assistance in correcting the problem.

Weaknesses: Bought 1 and it failed out of box, wouldn't lock anywhere. Exchanged for another new one, seemed to work, rode 2 miles and it failed, won't lock anywhere. Not related to cable tension.
