Although I've ridden other suspension seatposts, I've been riding the XL2 version of the Kinekt seatpost for more than a year now, with over 4,000 miles on it. I'm sold, it is a great addition to an e-bike - especially with many cities that have bumpy pavement. I recommend everyone getting an e-bike strongly consider getting a Kinekt seatpost. I did have one crusty road cyclist start to explain to me how the steel springs in the Kinekt would make for a very bouncy ride. That has not been the case in my experience. Even though the Kinekt is always doing its job, I do not consciously feel the saddle moving - except on the biggest bumps. Even on big bumps, there is no bouncy "rebound". Under normal riding, the Kinekt just soaks up the bumps without presenting a jouncy ride. Early mtn. bike suspension forks bounced or "pogo-ed" - stealing power as you pedaled. The Kinekt does not do this. Perhaps the linkages in the Kinekt have some internal friction dampening, because it definitely does not "pogo" in my case.

Always appreciate your first hand experience Ted! I don’t get to as much time in the saddle but I’m fortunate to be in touch with folks like you and I learn a lot there.

[@dabbyhaze1502]

Great video covering all aspects of the Kinect. My wife and I each ride with one on our ebikes and love them. Best accessory we have added since getting our bikes.

[@Propelbikes]

Thanks for your comment Dabby Haze! We really appreciate your support. Glad you enjoyed the video, always happy to help and so happy you love your seat post! :) Let us know if there are any other videos you would like to see from us.

[@turnerstechtalk7737]

I literally just ordered a Cane Creek Thudmaster LT. Waiting on it to arrive. But I agree with your comment - since it's an electric bike you might as well make it as comfortable as possible. I'll let my carbon fiber Trek Domane beat the snot out of me when I'm trying to get some exercise but when I'm on my electric - I want to cruise and enjoy the ride!

[@Propelbikes]

Totally makes sense! The Thudbuster is also a great post!

[@turnerstechtalk7737]

@@Propelbikes Welp! I just checked on my Cane Creek order status and it say the order has been cancelled for some odd reason. So I just ordered the Cirrus Kinect suspension post off of Amazon instead.

[@Propelbikes]

Well there you go. Would have been nice if you ordered from us, but I won’t hold that against you ;)

[@fwood1231]

Thanks. Great review and advice as usual. Just put one of these on my Specialized Vado 4.0 LTD. it came with Suntour straight spring suspension. Night and day difference. Kinekt is so much better. And fully adjustable for preload and leveling. Great product. Thanks again for the great reviews.

[@evanwert2530]

Great information and we appreciate it! Just one little note on spelling for the product. It's Kinekt, not Kinect. Small item but might help folks find it better. Thanks again for the kind words! The Cirrus Cycles Team.

[@Propelbikes]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@DezSantana]

Good review. I was looking at this one but I opted for the Cane Creek Thudmaster ST. Looks, and it works great on my eBike. I got it primarily because it's a bit more 'stealthy' than the Kinect.

[@SNOWDONTRYFAN]

Another excellent demo , have had my old Brooks B 67 spring saddle for a number of years and have it now sitting on top of Cane -creek Thud buster , which as most know, is standard with the R&M Supercharger , heard some really good reports about the Cirrus seat post .

[@Propelbikes]

The Thudbuster is a great post, but the Kinect is definitely a nice upgrade.

[@davel2734]

I have one and love it. I have the handlebar stem too.

[@jaywagner3111]

Wonderful review with a clear explanation of how this works. I never really understood it. I currently use the Suntour NCX SP 12. This was the 3rd suspension post that I purchased after trying straight line posts like the Satori. With this post does one specify the needed springs or is the post sold with a set of various springs for customizing. Also, Chris, if a rider is right at the upper limit of one of the ranges, would it be better to stick with the lower range springs or install the next highest. Thanks for the excellent review and clarity.

[@Propelbikes]

I agree! You could also just change the one bottom spring if you don’t want to jump a whole size.

[@michaelh2716]

I found that the “Cloud 9” seat that the rails are just a 1/2 millimeter to “wide” making it a bit difficult to attach the seat to this post.

[@phototristan]

Mine came with two extra springs. My question is are these the same strength as what is preinstalled? There is no documentation on this.

[@mathias5171]

I’ve looked all over about this post, and even the website doesn’t mention it. I just wanna make sure; is the tilt infinitely adjustable? The suntour ncx has preset angles and I can’t get a comfortable seat angle.

[@d7dun1010]

Excellent information! Just got the seatpost today as a Christmas gift! I have a Pedego Ridge Rider that has been just outstanding for me so far! Do I need to switch out the OEM seat? If so, suggestion on a good ebike seat that is similar in appearance to the OEM?

[@bruceyung70]

It works great! That's all I'm going to say.

[@kevinwillis2859]

How does this compare to the Thudbuster and what is the price range? FYI, I have a R&M Tinker HS that already has a Thudbuster. Now to a tangential topic: Does Reise & Mueller plan on upgrading the Tinker? I wouldn’t mind the Bosch generation 4 speed motor and a powertube.

[@Paul_VanGo]

I wouldn't say the Cirrus is the best. The (original?) Suntour NCX I have for 3 years is very good too. And there are others, with rubber dampening, instead of springs. I do agree with them all having the superior principle: the parallelogram design. I started, before the one I have now, with a telescopic one, and those are crap. They bind up after a short while, rendering them useless as a suspension seat post. One little drawback though, is that they all have a bit af an rearward offset. Keep that in mind, if you already adjusted the seat to the absolute foremost position.

[@philipspradling8142]

What seatpost to folks recommend for most comfort for a slim body type? I want to protect my back as much as possible. Thank you.

[@brandonkush1225]

Hopefully this solves the pain in the ass I've been dealing with

[@Propelbikes]

That’s a good one!

I have a RemiDemi I bought from your Long Beach store in August (which I love). Is this seat post normally installed by the end user or would you recommend having it professionally installed?

[@Propelbikes]

Thank you for your business. I hope you have been enjoying the bike. If you’re relatively handy you should be able to handle the install and we can always provide phone/video support if needed.

[@ScoobySTi777]

If this also worked as a dropper post then I’d give it a go.

[@MrVizziato23]

I have a dropper seat post too on my Sondors Rockstar and I was wondering the same thing, but I'm guessing if I wanted to use or try this out, it wouldn't work with my bike! 😭

@@Propelbikes Is there a compatibility chart? I want to make sure it will be able to connect to my saddles. I use a Rad Rover 2018, and have been experimenting with different saddle types.

[@Minerva___]

Have you had a chance to compare this to the Redshift ShockStop seat post? I have an eBike I'd love to get one of these for but still doing research. Also, in conjunction with this seatpost, can you recommend an actual seat? I have a Selle Royal LookIN seat that came with the bike but it feels hard as a rock.

[@Propelbikes]

I haven’t, but I hope to experiment with that eventually

[@santiagoortunomolina8680]

Hi Chris, greetings from Valencia, Spain. I have just purchased a RM NEVO3 and I’d like to make some upgrades. Firstly, I’d like to get the suspension seat post replaced. Currently, it has a Satori (40 mm travel) but I find it a little bit short for some bumps on the road. Before I watched this review about Kinetik, all my attention was focused on LT Thudbuster Canecreek, as it’s 90 mm travel. But now, I really hesitate about which one I should buy ( Kinetik or Thudbuster) Could you give me your opinion? On which one would you be? Thanks for your help, and sorry to contact you on weekend.

[@bumbar007]

does the spring exchengability means, that i can then buy small version, change the springs for different color/hardness and then basically have the large version od the post (it would be the same as buying the large hardness to begin with)?

[@Lady-Seawulf]

Great information!!

[@johnf3326]

Why not just rear suspension?

[@Propelbikes]

Some don’t want to spend or they might want to save the weight or they prefer the ride experience of a hardtail.

[@johnf3326]

@@Propelbikes so you save some cost and weight and then add cost and weight with something that randomly changes your distance from the pedals. I only do steady trails but glad of the 29" wheels and front AND rear 100mm suspension rather than rattle the hell out of me and the bike frame. AND HELL, THE PRICE!!

[@mytrigger5613]

@@Propelbikes How does this compare to the Thudbuster? I believe this is made of a more premium alloy maybe, costs significantly more, $100 bucks, and uses spring resistant inserts to fit your weight and comfort requirements and thudbuster uses rubber graded resistant inserts instead of springs. I'm 300 lbs and I would need the LT Long Travel version I just wonder if at my weight I would notice the difference in springs versus rubber and if the weight differential adds support. Finally, I wonder if the springs can be mounted on the thud bluster. And where are each of them built, who invented this design. Is it possible that thud buster figured out how to make a cheaper version which happens to be more effective at overall support or is the premium m load alloy superior, and noticeably more comfortable. Like comparing Cadillac to VW? I'll pay up if the premium is noticeably more supportive and sturdy and feels like it will last longer. Thanks Also John F brings up a point of had not considered, why not just get shocks at the tires so as to maintain the relationship between the pedals and seat. What kind of cost am I getting into? Ty all

[@TaisToiRQ]

I rode a 2018 R&M Supercharger hardtail for a few years with the Thudbuster ST. I also have chronic back issues L3, 4 & 5. The Thudbuster really really helped. I now ride an R&M Super Delite with front and rear suspension and I've experimented with soft and hard suspension on the rear and have found hard suspension works better for me personally. Others with back issues will go the other way. Having said all this I'm chasing a Thudbuster, yes you read right, a full suspension ebike with a suspension seat post. I believe the difference is the front and back motion the Thudbuster provided my 105 kg / 230 lbs on the Supercharger is what helped me. Then I'll consider a Brooks saddle! Also waiting for the day somebody makes a dropper and suspension seat post in one.
