The redshift is a 500 gram design with 35 mm of travel. The design looks excellent but of course, I'm concerned that it will sap power like the thud buster. I wonder what applications it could be used for: gravel? Light trail? Even fast road rides?
Does anyone use a suspension seat post either for road rides or even as a substitute for rear suspension for off road riding?
The new suspension seat posts hitting the market are getting better each year. There was really only the Thudbuster and then everyone else. Now we have options! Traditionalist like me like the Brooks Champion Flyer.
