Strengths: Strong, light, looks good, easy and precise to adjust.Weaknesses: Just a tad bit (grams) heavier than some other top-end carbon seatposts.Bottom Line: It's an excellent seatpost. All carbon (not a wrap), light weight, good looking, easy to adjust, and stays put.
The reviews below about broken posts seem suspicious to me - like the users were negligent or maybe there was a bad design or bad batch in 2007.
See my expanded review of the SB25.

Strengths: Light, dual-bolt design, infinite tilt adjustmentWeaknesses: "Loud" graphics, reported durability issues (which I have not experienced)Bottom Line: This does exactly what a seatpost is supposed to do. It stays put (carbon assembly paste, bolts torqued to about 80% of recommended maximum), holds my saddle in place, provides the right position, and through infinite tilt allows me to level my saddle perfectly.
On the upside, it is light! I'm not a huge fan of the graphics, but I got such a good deal on it and I really needed a new post so I bought it. Been using it for six months so I haven't experienced any of the durability issues others have put in their reviews.

Strengths: noneWeaknesses: Worthless junk to weak to last more then a few monthsBottom Line: I purchased the K-Force Seatpost w/25mm setback to upgrade from the stock seatpost that came with my CAAD-9. The FSA Seatpost cracked just after two months of non abusive use.

Strengths: NiceWeaknesses: Maybe not good for larger riders.Bottom Line: Nice post. Good 32mm setback. Nice finish. Pretty good hardware/adjustment.
Broken in less than 2 months. Full disclosure, I am 6'5" 200lbs. Broke at the seat clamp. Tightened with a torque wrench to 5nm. Think I'll stick with Thomson.

Strengths: Set back, looksWeaknesses: cracked with reason, FSA's poor customer serviceBottom Line: After 1 year of use, the post cracked (horizontally)midway between the frame and seat. My seat dropped 2-3 inches and i had to ride home standing. I'm 160lbs and never brake parts. I returned it to SmartBike who sent it to FSA, who took 3 weeks to replace w/o any explanation. Total time to replace 4 weeks. Matt in customer service at FSA was extremely rude and unprofessional. I will give the new seatpost a try and hopefully revise my review.
