What is the difference between the City, Endurance and PRO seatposts?Updated a day ago

The differences primarily lie in their intended use, suspension mechanism, ride feel and price point. 

In short, our City offering is the economy option to prioritize affordability and travel, while the Pro captures the best of both worlds with balanced performance across mixed terrain. The Endurance sits in the middle, prioritizing maximum comfort above all else!

This chart does a fantastic job of summing up the primary differences:

Here is a more detailed breakdown of each model:

City Seatpost:

  • Goal: Affordability and travel (suspension).
  • Suspension: Spring-driven system.
  • Travel: Approximately 35mm.
  • Ride Feel: Offers basic comfort at the most economical price point.

Endurance Seatpost:

  • Goal: Maximum "plush" comfort.
  • Suspension: Spring-driven system.
  • Travel: Approximately 35mm.
  • Ride Feel: Comfort for those who are riding mixed terrain. A well performing seatpost prioritizing comfort for the long haul.

PRO Seatpost:

  • Goal: Balanced performance across mixed terrain.
  • Suspension: Combines springs and elastomers for a highly tunable ride. 
  • Travel: Approximately 35mm.
  • Ride Feel: Offers a more "damped" performance feel balanced with pedal efficiency. Performs just as well on super rough terrain as the Endurance, but the elastomers help soak up some of the bounce, providing a smooth and performance oriented platform.
