Cane Creek seatpost eeSilk Carbon

[kilo]

hello, does anyone use the Cane Creek seatpost eeSilk Carbon? I would like to know the actual weight of 27.2 and the seatpost feedback. I am thinking about buying for my gravel

[froze]

I don't use that seatpost, but all the specs I've read says it weighs 290 grams, even if the manufacture is off I doubt it's off by more than 10 grams.

Do you need that sort of suspension system? or would a something with a bit less suspension but works great on road bikes against vibration and minor bumps that weighs less work for you? Something like the Canyon S15 VCLS 2.0 CF seat post that weighs 220 grams work for you just as well?

I had the original eeSilk that was heavier and ended up taking it off and going back to a rigid post. I weight about 67kg and a friend also has one but weighs 96kg and loves it. Also, the type of gravel you're riding on...more technical, its probably worth getting...hard pack gravel and fire roads, maybe not.

On genuinely technical terrain I'd go for a dropper over a suspension post any day. The eesilk for me would be more for long hours on vibratey type surfaces, but YMMV.

I’m sure it’ll smooth out washboard but suspension stem is what I need more for that.
