Hi I recently got a Extralite ThePost UL.

Is there any difference to the Extralite ThePost UL2 ? (And if yes => then which?)

Because if there is any significant difference, I'll possibly send it back...

If you accidently had to, could your bike take a smaller downhill ?

UL2 = lighter tubing & Titanium bolts.
TP2 = heavier tubing & steel bolts.

That's not what he means I think

I guess Mulle wants to know what the difference is between the older UL and the new UL2 post.

(Not sure) Maybe a small redesign of the head and range of angle adjustment of the head of the post. The head of the '2' is maybe more durable and has more angle possibilities.
