USE originated the concept of the suspension seat post and began production of the world's first suspension seat post over 16 years ago. The experience and expertise gained, has led to the Shokpost range being recognised as the world's best suspension seat posts.USE set the standard for the rest of the industry to follow. This exceptional reputation is based on a simple principle - the designing of original products to the highest quality. The SX Suspension seat post was developed to provide the rider with superb suspension performance used at top competition level but at a more competitive price point. It is similar in construction to the top of the range XCR suspension post, in fact it uses the same service kit.

A good quality seat post will save weight and hold your saddle securely. Seatposts are made in various materials, alloy and carbon being the two most common, alloy posts are lightweight, durable and cost efficient, while carbon posts are the popular choice for top end machines. Seat posts vary in where they hold the saddle relative to their own centre line so make sure you have enough adjustment on your saddle rails to allow for this or you could end up with your saddle too far forwards. A seat post needs to fit your frame exactly and are measured by as little as 0.2mm. When choosing a new one, either read off the measurement from your old seat post or measure it carefully with a vernier calliper. Make sure you lubricate the frame (unless they're carbon fibre) before insertion or you'll struggle to get it out again.
USE have got an unhealthy devotion to perfecting the ride experience because , well because riding is what they're about & they figure that if they develop new gear they get to test it, which means more riding & frankly that's the sweet spot.
