Strengths: Stiff, strong postWeaknesses: The saddle clamp shifts frequently, even after tightening the bolts to the max. To paraphrase another reviewer: If you hit any bumps get out of the saddle, otherwise it'll shift position.Bottom Line: If you're going to stay on the road I'm sure this product will do the trick. If you plan jumping curbs or riding off road, better upgrade to something more solid.

Strengths: It looks cool. Easy, fast saddle install.Weaknesses: Seat Clamp weak for MTB. Saddle like to tilt. I have worked on it and tightened it, but it still will make a noise: "crack" and the saddle tilt will be off. Annoying when out on the trail. No other problems, but I wish the saddle rail clamps were stronger.Bottom Line: It ok, but you have to be sure you aren't in the saddle through a dip, or other hit that would move the tilt of the saddle. I am only 170 lbs. there are better posts out there!

Strengths: looksWeaknesses: Seat clamp, carbon wrap.Bottom Line: The seat clamp must be extremely tightened to hold the seat in place and the carbon wrap has cracked the length of the post. Buy a Thomson Masterpiece for peace of mind and about thirty grams less weight!

Strengths: Seems to be really strong. I have wrecked 3 times so far, no breaks, no twisting in the clamp. I weigh 250 lbs.Bottom Line: Great
At 100 dollars this seat post seams to be comparable to others around the same price and weight.

Strengths: - Simple one bolt clamp design
- Easy to use clamp design
- +/- 20 Degree tilt
- Aluminium core for Extra crushing resistance
- Not difficult to install saddleWeaknesses: - None so farBottom Line: Great seatpost. Single bolt clamp mechanism makes installing the seatpost a breeze. Single mechanism also makes saddle adjustments easy to use as well.
Aluminium core is definitely crush resistant and carbon construction takes the harshness out of the terrain.
Retails for $150AU but got it for $68AU off ebay.
