Mtb seatpost with a lot of offset

Would anyone know of an mtb seatpost with a lot of offset for moving the seat back?

It would be installed on a 2010 Giant Anthem if that's important.

Thanks

You would need to get a setback post. Get the thomson and be done with it.

Should've gotten a tandem instead of the anthem. Then you can sit in the back seat and use the front bars.

Most setback or layback posts don't provide more than 25mm of setback. Thomson is nice, but there are plenty of others, too. What size do you need? Why do you need setback?
