Thomson makes a 25.4mm post too. With no setback though...

I kept the carbon save post on the new Supersix Evo, but running my Bontrager Paradigm XXX carbon rails pushed about 5mm beyond the max limit line.

Not feeling great about it, but the Enve seatpost is more expensive than a new saddle, so taking the risk at the moment.

Not enough options out there for sure.

Bringing this one back from the dead...

Looking for a lightweight 25.4mm seat post too.

Weighed my C2 post and it came in at 236g. I've not cut it, but would rather something under 200g to start with.

Any new posts on the scene?

I've got a new (well, mounted) ENVE seatpost, 25.4 with the setback.
I'd sell it to you for what I bought it for at shop cost - I believe $175? Or something like that.

Still not too many 25.4 options now than a few months ago, unfortunately. Probably since Cannondale is the only one doing it.

Can You confirm the weight of Enve seatpost? It is 400mm length?


I got new Save Carbon seatpost - 350mm and 20mm setback. My weighs 198g.
I want to cut the last 5cm to remove Di2 alu insert for battery but I wonder how much grams I will save. Maybe it is not worth it :?

Yep, 400mm length.
Away on vacation for a bit, but I'll have a weight (incl. hardware) for you guys in a bit.

FWIW, the SAVE seatpost isn't much heavier IIRC. It's not an upgrade I would make if you already had it. If you have the heavier C2 carbon one, then yes, upgrading to an ENVE might make sense.

Hylix is a great option as well, but no setback...

They're back in Stock on ebay now. I broke mine, only because I'm stupid. I can still sit on it while testing out components while I wait for my replacement.

Saw a review of a Focus Paralane the other day and noticed that it's specced with a 25.4 post so not just Cannondale now.

I think I'm going to bite the bullet and buy the Cannondale Save seatpost (same as one pictured above).

Once cut to length and heavy Di2 bung removed, should be around 160g I hope... Shame it's £90 over here in the UK.
