The carbon saddle will be interesting! The current seat post features an internal “seat pump”. The carbon replacements should drastically reduce weight and help dampen road vibrations.
Please make sure that the carbon seatpost is an absolutely tight fit. I had one with 33.6mm instead of specced 33.9 (shrinking after production?) and it kept slipping, made the frame crack (Java Carbon Air) and delaminated the post little later at the clamping point. Could have been prevented by adding a coke can cutout between seat tube and sleeve. If you have to clamp more than usual, you should correct
