I bought this brand because cheaper ones would upset the seat by 12cm instead of 9cm from this and I had a very low leverage on seat height adjustment.It was the best equipment I ever bought for my bike. The added comfort is amazing, it's probably as close as it gets to a rear suspension.Not only that but averaging the last 2 rides before installing and the 2 first rides after, I got (objective numbers from Strava) an 8% gain in speed and also a 12% gain in relative effort. I'm not getting up on cobbled stone streets anymore.

After more than fifty years and over 250,000 miles on a bike, this is one of the top three transformative bicycle components I've ever tried. I installed it on my "adventure" e-bike, which has a bone-rattling all aluminum frame and weighs in at over 50lbs. Combine that with a slender individual who lacks natural padding, down there, and you get a situation that sounds like a Yahtzee game every time I hit a bump!I've experimented with several suspension posts over the years, but they all fell short for various reasons. Some were too stiff, providing no discernible benefit. Others were so soft that a significant portion of your pedaling effort was wasted flexing the seatpost spring rather than propelling you forward. And all didn't offer the required range of adjustment or granularity needed to properly fine-tune the suspension to my needs.But Redshift got it just right! You can adjust and fine tune the suspension to your particular performance and stiffness preferences over a large range. What I appreciate most is its smooth and precise action without feeling overly spongy or sloppy. It has never "bottoms out" or rebounds inappropriately after absorbing a large bump for me. There's no noticeable yo-yo effect when you're putting out maximum pedaling effort, and it effectively dampens post-bump rebounding. It's akin to driving a classic Citroen DS with Hydropneumatic suspension!Make sure to follow the installation instructions, especially regarding the seat's fore and aft position and the seat height, as they WILL be different from your usual settings.I intend to purchase four more of these for my other non e-bikes.

Ero scettico, sono un ciclista da anni e da qualche anno ho intrapreso la via del bikepacking in gravel. Si sa, la bici alle lunghe può esser dolorosa là sotto, se poi ci metti 150 km in un giorno, con una bici non ammortizzata, su terreni sconnessi, dopo qualche ora, ciò che diventa piacevole può facilmente tramutarsi in fastidio ed addirittura agonia.Ho voluto investire qualche soldo, certo non è il prodotto più economico in commercio, ma come si dice, chi più spende, meno spende.. e qui la qualità si sente tantissimo. Sono stato in grado di macinare più di 100 km sullo sterrato avendo l'impressione di fluttuare sull'asfalto.Grazie alle molle differenti e le varie regolazioni, si può affrontare benissimo un percorso di strada bianca o sentieri di bosco senza affaticare la schiena.Ottima ammortizzazione e anche il ritorno è favoloso, il design eccellente, non sfigura neanche un po' sulla linea della bici.L'unica cosa da stare attenti è la compatibilità delle sedi del tubo sella e delle varie selle, ma chi acquista un prodotto del genere, di solito ne sa qualcosa in più dei comuni passeggiatori da città.Sono molto tentato ad acquistare anche il suo "compagno" per ammortizzare il manubrio.. e molto probabilmente, vista la qualità, sarà una cosa che farò a breve!SOLDI SPESI BENE

This is my 3rd order from RedShift Seatpost Suspension. Did ride with the first purchase for more then 1500Km and still keep goin without any issue. You can read more review from internet but here are my personal views base on my own experience without bias.Advantage:1) Enhance your riding experience. The suspension will soak all the small bumps and small vibration from your rear tyre.2) You will clock in more mileage due to induce fatigue.3) If you have any back pain issue and wanted to ride, this seatpost for you.4) Zero maintenance.5) Every single ride will make a big smile on your face.Disadvantage:1) Weight penalty, add more weight to your bike, around 415g for 350mm & 380g for 280mm.(Specs taken from Redshift website)2) Pedal bob effect reduced your power transfer.3) For adjustment, you need to removed the seatpost.4) Design only for circular seatpost and not for aero seatpost design.3) Expensive for single component.Hope this will help you guys for the purchase.
