Strengths: very comfortable easy to install and change elastomer for weight specific setup
Weaknesses: a little on the ugly side
Bottom Line:
I read many reviews about the thudbuster before I bought one and everyone has been spot on. I ride a HT 29er and it made all the difference in the world for how I ride. I can stay in the saddle longer with more comfort which keeps my legs fresh for the tougher parts of the trail. I feel like I can turn more laps with less effort now. Some people posted the weight increase was a problem but unless you are riding a full carbon top of the line bike I seriously doubt you will notice it. I think I climb better now because I can save my legs for the climbs. I would say if you are thinking about getting one just do it. It is well worth the price.
