Reply To: Making hardtails less bumpy?

#223627

I have a USE Shokpost on my bikepacking hardtail.  This is a durable and rebuildable product, as mine has been on several bikes since I purchased it in 1993!  There is also the “Thudbuster” type of shock post, with Suntour selling the SP12-NCX, sold on Amazon.  USE currently has the Vybe model on their UK website.

The last option is to look for a saddle with an elastomer isolation system, either as padding or as part of the rail.  This will offer only minimal protection.
