So, i recently bought a seatpost just like this one, Zoom branded:
And i have some things to talk about it. First of all, i'll post a pic of it in my bike:
Ok, lets talk about it. As you can see in the picture, my seat has springs, which will probably increase the capacity to absorb impacts.
--Seapost with suspension PROS:
If you don't have a full suspension frame and isn't planning to get one, they are not REALLY good, but are certanly better than nothing and they cost almost the same as a common seatpost, so its worth to buy it.
Will help you yo feel less impact, mainly if combined to a seat with springs.
--Seapost with suspension CONS:
I didn't any big problem here, the only thing is that if you are a short person and usually uses the seapost in the minimum, it will increase a little bit the position, but this worth if you are gonna get less impact. Also, it makes it a liettle bit harder to attach stuff in the seatpost, such as light, lock support, etc.
Conclusion: As i live in Brazil and we have bad roads here, i bought it. My bike doesn't have full suspension, only a cheap fork with suspension. That seatpost with suspenson combined to my seat with springs bought me a great help, it doesn't make any miracle, but certanly better than nothing, and the price difference about a the seapost with suspension and a common one is insignificant. I had to use a wire to attach my lock to the seatpost, but it cool, i like the suspension.
