Favoriate Trail:Just ride
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Strengths:looks
Weaknesses:Seat clamp, carbon wrap.
Similar Products Used:easton ec70, ritchey, thomson elite
Bike Setup:superfly, 1X9, xt cranks
Bottom Line:The seat clamp must be extremely tightened to hold the seat in place and the carbon wrap has cracked the length of the post. Buy a Thomson Masterpiece for peace of mind and about thirty grams less weight!

Favoriate Trail:Kooralbyn
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $45.00
Purchased At:Ebay
Strengths:- Simple one bolt clamp design
- Easy to use clamp design
- +/- 20 Degree tilt
- Aluminium core for Extra crushing resistance
- Not difficult to install saddle
Weaknesses:- None so far
Similar Products Used:- Bontrager Select, Amoeba Scud, FSA SLK270 FR Carbon Post
Bike Setup:- Trek 06 6500 with following mods: Manituou R7 Comp 100mm, DT Swiss XR4.1D (XT hubs), Amoeba Scud HB, Pro XLT Race Stem
Bottom Line:Great seatpost. Single bolt clamp mechanism makes installing the seatpost a breeze. Single mechanism also makes saddle adjustments easy to use as well.

Aluminium core is definitely crush resistant and carbon construction takes the harshness out of the terrain.

Retails for $150AU but got it for $68AU off ebay.
