Does the ShockStop Seatpost have a lock-out?Updated 4 days ago
The seatpost does not have a lockout feature, and because of how it's designed, it doesn't need one. The seatpost has adjustable pre-load — this means you can dial in the exact stiffness and feel that you want, and set it up to provide just the right amount of movement for you. Because of the pre-load, the seatpost can be set up so that it won't start moving until you reach a threshold amount of load. With this kind of setup, under normal riding you won't feel the post move unless you encounter rough terrain. In addition, the 35mm of travel means that your leg extension does not change much at all even when the suspension is active. The seatpost offers very natural movement — meaning that after just a few rides you might not even notice it unless you hit some big bumps.
