The Redshift ShockStop PRO Suspension Seatpost V2 delivers the ultimate "race-tuned" suspension performance, combining coil spring and elastomer suspension technology to provide the best of both worlds; highly responsive to bumps and vibrations and subtle enough to disappear into the background while you smoothly deliver power. User adjustable stiffness lets you dial in the right feel to match your riding style.
The combination of coil springs and elastomers provides a progressive spring rate that lets the suspension work effortlessly to absorb the bumps and buzz of gravel or road riding, while still providing a firm foundation to maximize power delivered to the pedals. The PRO seatpost disappears into the background, letting you stay in control and focused, while leaving you less fatigued after every ride.
More comfort in the saddle means you'll be able to ride longer, go faster, and maintain control even on the roughest terrain. The minimal, lightweight design of the ShockStop PRO V2 Suspension Seatpost blends seamlessly with the aesthetic of modern gravel and road bikes.

I've had carbon seatpost since they were available and swore by them due to their light weight and chatter absorbing nature. We got some steep rough roads on many routes and while it's a blast going 30mph+ downhill on them but always a white-knuckle affair whenever the surface rears its imperfections. What feels like a rodeo ride becomes downright scary with the possibility of going airborne if not for being clipped in.
I tried the original Redshift seatpost and found them to be unacceptable due to its weight and over the top sponginess for my 185-pound frame. For about the same price I paid for my Ritchey Flexlogic carbon, I tried the Pro but had to swap out the elastomer for the firmer one, which was easy to do.
Despite the weight penalty, what the Pro brings on my steed is the right amount of absorption and travel to greatly lessen the rodeo ride and increase my confidence when going fast over rough surfaces. Get it on sale if you can. Worth the cost and extra weight for long ride comfort.
