Strengths:    Double clamp design

Weaknesses:    none

Bottom Line:   
This is a strong, Light, reasonably cheap seatpost. I was a little skeptical about the design not being strong enough but I was wrong. Very happy with the purchase.I Used other seatposts that broke or stripped but this seatpost seems to be holding up very well. I would reccomend this seatpost for anyone into all mountain or enduro riding.

Strengths:    Looks nice, price, weight.

Weaknesses:    Little aluminum barrel nuts are cheap and broke on me while climbing.

Bottom Line:   
This thing looks great and functions great until the bolt pulls straight through the aluminum barrel nut and almost causes you to lose your manhood on the top tube. Thomson uses steel barrel nuts... wonder why that is?

Great product until... FAIL!

Side note. Truvativ crank failed me 2 days after installation. Wont ride anything Truvativ ever again. That company makes products that break. I know they are owned by Sram now but still... total failure. (I weight 170 by the way, by no means should the post bolt or the crank have snapped on me).

Strengths:    Strong! As light as, if not lighter, than Thomson Elite. Clamp mech is easily adjustable. Looks slick!

Weaknesses:    None

Bottom Line:   
Lighter than Thomson. Looks just as cool. Cheaper..even MSRP is cheaper (I got mine on eBay). I think Truvativ is underrated, especially for XC parts. I always think of them as making great freeride and downhill components.

Date Reviewed: August 14, 2006

Strengths:    Longer than the seat post the midget who had my bike before me had cut. Hasn't bent

Weaknesses:    None so far

Bottom Line:   
Quality seat post. I'm about 200 lbs and no problems. Looks good, seems well made. If you're looking for a cheap quality upgrade form your stock post I think this will do you well. Don't get the non-team truvativ cuz apparantly it really blows (though I don't know from personal experience)
