    Favorite 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!

    Favorite 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.
