These posts make great enhancements to gravel or mixed surface bikes by reducing the chatter transmitted from the surface to the rider and can be tuned to rider weight through a simple elastomer change.

  • Bolt-on compliance: Up to 35mm of travel to add comfort and suspension on gravel and mixed-surface rides without adding unnecessary weight to the bike.
  • Parallel-linkage design: Parallel linkage technology stays in the direct path of the natural travel of the rear wheel. As a bump lifts the back of the bicycle, the rear wheel pushes up and forward into the rider.
  • Easy elastomer change: The eeSilk+ seatpost can be tuned for different rider weights and riding styles by selecting the elastomer that best fits rider needs and preferences.

The eeSilk+ seatpost is shipped with a Medium elastomer installed. Extra Soft, Soft, Firm and Extra Firm elastomers are sold separately.

<110lb (<50kg) = #1 Elastomer*
100-160lb (45-73kg) = #3 Elastomer*
150-210lb (68-95kg) = #5 Elastomer
200-250lb (90-113kg) = #7 Elastomer*
200-250lb (90-113kg) = #9 Elastomer*

I installed this setup on the stoker spot on our tandem. Wife is so much happier now. Well worth the investment. High quality parts, I will be picking up a second one for our other tandem.

    I got this seatpost after suffering some tailbone soft tissue damage riding my rigid Niner Air 9 Carbon on local gravel trails. I was worried the seatpost would impart a “bouncy” feel especially given my higher weight. I was not only pleasantly surprised that the seatpost stays tight until dampening is needed, I was amazed at the smoothness.

    It worked so great I came back home and ordered the eeSilk stem!

    The device is beautifully finished and beyond that I have little to say – it works quietly as a seat post, but after a ride I am noticeably less “jarred.” It does not announce itself with untoward bouncing or any oddness whatsoever. I would give this my highest rating as I would buy it again if it went missing. DLB

This is replacing the first version of the Redshift StopShock seatpost on my Salsa Cutthroat. I have been very happy with the performance of the Redshift but I needed to make my bike lighter and the eeSilk+ seatpost is almost half the weight than the StopShock. So far I'm happy with the choice but this one feels different, I don't have enough miles to fully comment. The eeSilk+ is more bouncy than the StopShock because the elastomer springs back faster than the spring in the StopShock. I'm 180 lbs, while the standard #5 is rated 150 to 210 lbs, I'm debating about trying the #7 elastomer but I'll give it more miles before.
