Also, most folks, including off-road riders, do not realize that on the Thudbuster LT you can set the preload on the elastomers. This can increase or decrease how much the saddle will settle when the rider is seated. Adding preload can also lessen the bouncing while still having a softer spring rate.
FWIW, on the Thudbuster LT the soft gray elastomers are known culprits to split and eject, so if possible do not run those.
