My new bike came with the incorrect post.
I am looking for a long- probably 400mm Post with setback.
I am light- 64kg, for XC use.
What post are you liking?
I was thinking Enve or Ritchey Superlogic-

For XC racing, MCFK. 125g or so.

Engage (AX spinoff) is worth a look too for a reasonable value to weight ratio

I'd go with an Mcfk. I had the straight version on a bike for a season, and it was great. Very light too.

I have a Thomson Masterpiece but at around 200g it isn't light, the weights for all sizes and lengths are on their website.

Tune are quite a bit lighter, but probably a lot weaker too.

A friend has a PRC or procraft maybe, with the mono link SLR seat. As a combo its pretty light.

MCFK seatpost looks good.

Or, this seatpost is so light (only 147 gram with saddle): :)

The cheap chinese eBay posts are well up to the task in hand, not super light but not heavy (and leave you a chunk of budget for something else!).

There is a new Tune seatpost with setback. I don't know if it's still made by Mcfk like the straight version.

I loved my enve offset post. It's around 195 grams but have you seen the s-works cobble gobbler? heavy but... awesome!
