I suspect there might have been a bad batch in mid 2016 where they didn't heat treat the Aluminium or something, as I bought mine about the same time as siewa and didn't fit it until a couple of months ago. Here's hoping the warranty comes through, or else Giant will have lost a loyal customer. |

Seatpost bent on 4th ride (no drops or jumps), Giant refused warranty claim. So after one weekend of fun i was left with piece of junk. Strongly not recommend |

Strength:
I got a good deal for this seatpost and am happy with it.....
Weakness:
i got this seatpost with 3 rides of used from a friend but when climbing i place myself on the tip of the saddle and seat moves slightly down... I weigh 195lbs. I have tried to tighten the bolt but seat keeps on doing the same. the bolt stripped and am only able to tighten it so much....
I would gladly appreciate your support on this...

Strength:
It does what it was designed to do lowers and raises at a flip of a switch.
Weakness:
Top head is being replaced after 6 months of use. Seat would rotate down if you hit the saddle hard on a bump. Giant is replacing, but when your out on a drive the last thing you need is the horn of your saddle proding you in the bum.... It came with the bike and I love it. |

Price, functions well, looks good in all black.
Weakness:
None yet. I've had this for only 3 months. I was in need of a new post but couldn't justify the 350-450 for one of the more popular posts. But, Cyclepath sells Giant and the guys said it had been one of the more reliable posts they sell so at way less money than the other posts, I figure it was worth a go. I have the second generation post that can be mounted stealth or not which makes for great options.so far the post has done exactly what I had hoped it would do and is holding up well. Super happy with this post. |

Strength:
This post was inexpensive very reliable and easy to install. I owned a couple of other brands and they've left me out on the trail with a sinking seat or a stuck seat, but not this one.
Weakness:
The cable is a little fussy and it required occasional tweaking over the three years I owned it. Because of my clumsy riding style I broke the seat mount on my three-year-old post and just bought a brand-new version of this post. I put off buying a dropper post for years because of the weight, now that I've owned a few I will not ride without them I actually own a backup post. |

Strength:
Came for free on the bike.....
Weakness:
I have had two of these posts, the first one stopped working about 3 months in to ownership and would no longer lock, would compress when I sat down on it and pogo up and down...... fun!
The concept of the post is a fantastic one and I think it's one thing that has improved my riding the most in the last 10 or so years.

Strength:
Infinite adjustment, nice switch, fair price
Weakness:
Side to side play (11 o'clock to 1 o'clock as you look down from above at the bike), 4 inch rise, cable attaches to top, fussy cable routing, sanction needs list of cleaning and lube. This is a good dropper post, not perfect but not too bad either. With the 100mm rise it is certainly less than the competition, but I've never had a problem with this amount of rise riding trails. I've given the post 3 months abuse with no problem, however I have deliberately not abused the post too far to save from killing it, if you think about the work it has to do. I think I could kill it by doing wheelies and sat down stoppies, this however is likely the case with any dropper post.

Great lever
Weakness:
Keeping the seat post angle requires perfect torque on the seat bolt.
