Hmmm... I'm not sure what to think. For MTB, sure, cross, maybe...road? Eh...

This is Specialized publicity all but in name. How quickly the conventional model of corporate printed press-advertisers corrupted the online space... the "independent" "review" sites are just mere sale pushers.

That is the bio floating seat post and saddle ensemble; the seat sits on suspension bushes and the post is articulated on a bearing. The design in about 20 years old yet remain virtually unknown in the anglophone world... no doubt in large part because it lacks the corporate marketing elbows.
