Brand X is CRCs owned brand. I have purchased $1000’s of dollars worth of stuff from CRC and they are the best at customer service. If you have any issues with it just call them up and they will help you get it fixed ASAP. I personally have a Stealth, just because it came with my bike so I can’t tell you directly the feel of that post. But if I was looking I would not hesitate, as long as it makes your criteria list.
