from Georgia Date Reviewed: November 27, 2011 Strengths: I rode with my new seatpost today for the first time and was very impressed. I picked a trail that was very choppy to test the rebound control and the Nitro\'s smoothness or lack of. It passed with flying colors. I have ridden USE and Thudbusters and had a couple of duel suspension bikes. I like this set-up the best, it\'s a Blue XC-7 and the Nitro. Great work !!

from Grand Haven, MI USA Date Reviewed: August 28, 2009 Strengths: In theory, well-designed and decent appearance. Weaknesses: Heaviest of its kind on the market. Seatpost continuously slips down into the seatpost tube no matter how tight you reef on the seatpost bolt. Requires frequent oiling. Worse of all, however, is the seatpost clamp broke while riding on a country dirt road without any warning. Thankfully I wasn't riding on a technical single track. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Owassipe Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $150.00 Purchased At: Alumaline www.nitrop Similar Products Used: Thudbuster ST and Thusbuster LT. Bike Setup: Q-ball steel 29er with American Classic wheels and Racing Ralph tires.
