So now that they have been making these a while what is the consensus? Has anyone actually felt like it made a difference? It makes some sense to me especially since I have always gotten some chaffing from saddle rub but I cant tell if the Monolink would be of any help at all.
Looking for some real world reviews as I havent come across much discussion on it. Maybe I missed it though.

I want one it offer silly offset as well. I weighed a seat at 160g. Not too bad.

That is one aspect I had a question about. Does it offer more setback than a traditional post, like say, 30mm?

Might be a marginal improvement.
But the prices are just obscene.....no way it costs that much to make or is it worth that.
I predict it will be forgotten as another innovation that we didn't really need and was killed by marketing hubris.

I used one for a couple months last year and it DOES do what it claims - reduce friction and contact with the inner thighs. I thought the saddle/post connection was really solid and a great design. The only reason I'm not still using it is I prefer the slightly more narrow design of the S-Works Toupe. And as I recall, that 160 gram weight is accurate. I did have two knocks on it though: I had the "Flow" model with the center cutout and I thought it was fairly useless - nowhere near as pressure-relieving as the Toupe, and the white cover material showed wear spots pretty quickly.

Good luck,
Chris

My new Merida Scultura Team came with merida's PRC brand Monolink post (rebadged Selle Italia's post) and SLR. It didn't offer as much setback as a Ritchey Superlogic 1-bolt post and standard rail SLR.

Post was around 165g if I remember correctly. Didn't weigh the saddle.
