KCNC SC PRO Lite? I think that's what it's called.

Perhaps not great if you are a regular post length adjuster, as the anodising isn't massively durable. I've got one & it's looking a little tatty as I take the post out every time I put the bike in the car.

But it looks good, is nice & light and the adjustment is excellent.

Would you entertain a road bike one. If so, i have a rotor sp1 on mine. Tis very light. On my mountain bike its carbon fibre in a steel frame. Actually again its my old kuota one from an old bike. Not very heavy as well. Pretty strong and smoothed the back end out loads

I beams are anything but sexy, they look ****ing retarded. They are also shite.

Easton EC90
Zipp Service Course SL or carbon
Syntace P6 carbon
Fizik Cyrano

Those are all the ones off the top of my head I can think of that are light and have a decent clamp. I looked for similar for my road bike a while ago.

I've had a ti post from hong kong on my bike for a couple of years with no issue. In fact, I sold the bike with it on and looking to get a replacement on my Sirius. 27.2mm and 40mm long for $70 AuD so really quite reasonable.

There is no flex in my Ti post at all in 31.6, its pretty harsh. If wanted a bit of comfort I'd look to carbon. If you can stomach the price what about that Canyon/ Cannondale flexing post

Easton EC90-70, it's got the best creak free clamp I've tried on a carbon post and looks nice as well,
USE sumo carbon is nice too, but the clamp sounds like the Adams family front door once it gets dirty...

USE Sumo Ti on my Soda, Very light, quite flexy and doesn't scuff up like carbon or ally does.

Never had to touch the clamp on mine afte rthe initial install.
