Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference between the City, Endurance, Pro Endurance, and Pro Race seatposts?
A: The differences primarily lie in their intended use, suspension mechanism, amount of travel, ride feel, and material properties (weight and affordability).
In short, our City offering is the economy option to prioritize affordability and travel, while the Pro Race is the lightest weight and firmest ride feel to optimize power transfer. The Pro Endurance is a middle ground that really captures the best of both worlds!
This chart does a fantastic job of summing up the primary differences:
| Seatpost Model | Primary Goal | Suspension System | Travel (approx.) | Ride Feel | Key Feature |
| City | Affordability, Travel | Springs | 35mm | Economy/Basic Comfort | Most budget-friendly |
| Endurance | Maximum Comfort | Springs | 35mm | Plush, "Riding on a cloud" | Prioritizes comfort above all else |
| Pro Endurance | Balanced Performance | Springs + Elastomers | 35mm | Dampened, Silky Smooth | Best of both worlds: Comfort & Efficiency |
| Pro Race | Power Transfer, Light Weight | Elastomers | 20mm | Firm, Subtle, "Disappears" | Lightest weight, highest efficiency |
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: Our most "plush" feel - truly a "riding on a cloud" experience. It's the right choice for riders that prioritize comfort above all else.
Pro Endurance Seatpost:
Goal: Balanced performance across mixed terrain.
Suspension: Combines springs (from the Endurance) and elastomers (from the Pro Race).
Travel: Approximately 35mm.
Ride Feel: Offers a "dampened" 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 silky smooth feel.
Pro Race Seatpost:
Goal: Prioritize power transfer and weight savings.
Suspension: Elastomer-driven system.
Travel: Approximately 20mm.
Ride Feel: Subtle enough that you could forget it's there, but constantly working hard to save you fatigue and discomfort. It is best for riders who want to prioritize power transfer.
Adjustment: Requires a bit more advanced skill to adjust for your weight and preference, but once dialed in feels bombproof and won't require adjusting.
