Looks great (no pun...), strong, highly adjustable.

Saddle slips unless cranked really, really tight. If you are concerned about weight, it's a bit heavy. Adjustment a bit more tedious than other seatposts.

I got this seatpost with my Look 486 frame. I like the post initially, until the saddle started slipping. At first it was very nice, but soon I started getting very uncomfortable. My saddle had slipped all the way back, and since it was a Fizik Arione, that was a long way back. The only way I could solve this problem was to crank the bolt down to the point I was concerned about something breaking. I eventually decided to get a new post. The post is highly adjustable, though, and if you can't find a setting, the problem is likely lies with you. Finding the right setting was very easy, but the slipping saddle was annoying.

Weight, Plenty of adjustment options.

Not suitable to be used with Look wedge clamp bolt.

As supplied with a Look KG481SL.
Has plenty of set back, seat clamp is stable, and the neck area is well supported.
However when this post is used with the Look clamp bolt not enough force can be generated without damaging the surface.
I am aware of at least 3 failures locally caused by this problem.

light fantastic finish in high gloss carbon fibre; plenty of adjustability including minimal setback

not cheap although ebay was my friend

I very happy with this seatpost. I wanted a schmick looking carbon fibre post with little-to-no setback and that's what I got. 27.2mm diameter, same as stock post on Giant TCR. No probs with loosening or twisting at all. Love it.

good looking seat post, should come in flat carbon color. HEAVY!!!!!!!!, I used it on on seven hour ride and with out even falling it was cracked in the middle, no where near a clamp.

carbon fiber material. aero profile.

i have one in 27.2 size and they frequently slipped down the seat tube even when i clamped it so tight i might crush it. buy a 25mm size and use a shim with it. also give special consideration about the saddle clamp's weak grips.

either love it or hate it. i don't care about how much it weights. looks good and the adjustability deserves a thumbs up. however, this is one "slippery" seatpost. the saddle often slipped and the seatpost itself slipped into the seat tube even on smooth road. set it too tight and you might break it.

Looks good with a Look frame. Never had a problem with it.

Costs too much. Set back much too far. Need to use mine as far forward as possible. Might be the frame geometry.

Decent seatpost if it cost $100, but it doesn''t. Odd in design, but it works reasonably well.

Its an OK post, it just isn''t worth anything near what it costs.

Weight, cost, adjustments.

Very expensive, odd adjustment, but looks good with a LOOK frame. I''d take a Thomson seatpost even if they cost the same- which they don''t.

i bought it since i wanted a more relaxed position, and i believed that i can maximize my needs with this seatpost. since it can be moved by 2.5 in, this is what it makes this product great.

it say's on the brochure that there is an anti-slip groove but there was none! I tightened it to the point that I was afraid I'd crush it but it still tilted at the front when I sat on it. I had to place a fine sandpaper between the clamps to hold it in place but for how long, i don't know since my complaint letter to veltecsports was forwarded to another person and the letter is probably stucked in red tape!

buy this ONLY if you really need a very relaxed position or try using Titec or Thomson.

DA. CAmpy chorus,

Long fore adjustment. Looks cool. Light weight.

So called titanium (actually aluminium) bolt stripped as I was tightening it. Veltec sports was nice enough to sell me a new one wholesale. Its a fairly short post (235 mm) and it occasionally creaks. Not worth the money.

I still think an American Classic is the best post for the money if toy can deal with 235 mm. Its the easiest to adjust.

Not worth the money unless you need the adjustability.

Very comfortable.
If weight isn't a concern, and you can get one cheap, it's a good post, otherwise go for a simple thompson set back or an easton or USE carbon.
