Is there any damping in the ShockStop Seatpost System?Updated a month ago

While damping is important for MTB because you're trying to absorb larger amplitude impacts, for high-frequency, small amplitude perturbations, it's better to have a very lightly damped system to maximize responsiveness. The plunger seals in the ShockStop seatpost provide enough damping to prevent unwanted movement of the post, but otherwise, the system is free to respond quickly.
