Description
The Evolve XC post features an innovative, patented head design which offers maximum adjustability while minimizing weight, all at a reasonable price.

? HEAD



? Forged from 6061 aluminum, the seatpost head is incredibly strong & fatigue resistant.



? Patented head design is lightweight & distributes loads more efficiently than conventional seatpost head designs.



? Offers unprecedented adjustability - with infinite tilt adjustment completely independent from the fore/aft adjustment.



? The head accommodates 7mm & 8mm rails while providing 35mm of rail support.



? Features a 0.5? rearward offset.



? TUBE



? Oval tubing optimizes strength to weight ratio & provides consistently high strength throughout the length of the tube allowing you to clamp the post down at any height.



? The 3D forged 2014 heat-treated aluminum tube is anodized & shot peened for increased fatigue life.

Pros: Holds the saddle well
Lightweight
Doesn't flex

Recommendation: Came on my Giant Trance X2 and I've had zero issues with it. The 1/2" rear offset is nice and helps keep the weight over the back tire when it comes to climbing hills, and helps keep me behind the bars when descending slopes. For an OEM part, it is quite nice.

Pros: Good price.
Decent weight.
Strong; I weigh 200 lbs and I haven't felt any flex and it hasn't broken.

Cons: The yellow safety sticker is a pain to remove.

Recommendation: I selected this when I built up my Giant Trance as it was a decent price for a brand with a solid reputation. It has given me zero issues.

Pros: All the same features of the higher end Deus without the fancy extra machining

Cons: none

Recommendation: A great seat post at a reasonable price. It works as well as the Deus, just it doesn't have the extra bling to it. Great post for those who want quality without paying too much.
