Strengths: - Very Light
- Make Compatible clamp for Carbon Saddles
- Strong
- No creakingWeaknesses: - Can be very cumbersome to dial saddle tilt inBottom Line: The weight is the highlight of this post, unfortunately the biggest drawback is the the single bolt clamping mechanism. Small adjustments can be very difficult unless you have a good level handy, really hard to beat a Thompson seatpost in that department. Overall I'm happy with the seat post once you have it set!

Strengths: Matches other Bontrager products, average weight. Quality and design not upto par with seatposts half its price.Weaknesses: It is about the same weight as other light seatposts but there is a design flaw - The rail clamp is too small and as such will cause your saddle rails to bend after some use. It does not support the seat adequatly
It also scratches very easily which happens to all seatposts but it seemed considerably extensive.
Bottom Line: This seatpost maybe fine on roadbikes, but not good for mountain bikes. I am only 160lbs and have been riding for 12 years and never had a problem with seat rails bending.

Strengths: Super Uber light weight, but who gives a flying bleep about 100 grams.Weaknesses: Like everyone else, the thing wont stay tight. And now, the bolt is stripping. and I use a park tool allen on it.Bottom Line: Granted, this post has been used for probably over 2000 miles, since the bike has that much on it. But none the less I cant STAND having to crank on the nut trying to keep this post from moving.

Strengths: Looked nice??Weaknesses: The clamp had to be tightened many many times.. and always slips. Then one day while I was riding it snapped in two while I was riding!! I was a good hour of riding back to the car!!Bottom Line: VERY DANGEROUS.

Strengths: Nothing is outstanding in the category.Weaknesses: The clamp. I have tightened it several times and it still slips when I take a big drop, causing my saddle to point up; into my groin.Bottom Line: I have not had it slip in a few rides, but I haven't done anything major(mostly smooth XC) in a while. Avoid it. It's a poor design.

Strengths: LooksWeaknesses: It failed (Mechanical caused several broken bones)Bottom Line: It did its job of holding the seat over paved and gravel trail, but first 12" drop the seat detached from the post bouncing me up off the demo bike and landed square on my chest on the now naked post. Broke a few ribs in the process. I'm not a heavy weight and consider myself a fairly decent rider this failure was due to the poor design of the head locking in the rails. I checked it after the fact and after I could stand once again. The bolt was tight and every thing was toqrued down as it should of been.
Duration Product Used: Tested or demo'ed only
