I ride bumpy paved to unpaved service roads, and this seat post does smooth out the ruts. I weigh about 225 lbs, and the two dark rubber shock pads (included) work well for me. It will bounce a little if you sit while climbing hills, or during a fast cadence/spin. You can reduce the bounce by sitting back a little further in the saddle or shifting during a fast spin. Its light enough to not notice any extra weight swinging back and forth when climbing on your pedals. I like it.

Best of all the Suspension Seat-Posts!

This review is from; Cane Creek Thudbuster LT Suspension Mountain Bike Seatpost

Suspension seat-posts has always been a popular upgrade for riders with hard-tail MTBs. After trying a couple of telescopic, suspension seat-posts including the Rock Shox post, I finally found a permanent post for my hard-tail which is the Cane Creek Thudbuster. The natural, pivot motion of the post simply made my most rugged trails more bearable and comfortable on trail sections where I would normally stand through. My only concern about the post is the single, slender steel bolt that holds the whole thing together. So far, it is still holding (had this post for more than 3 years), but Im going to get a similar style & size brass bolt a precautionary back-up because the replacement bolts from Cane Creek costs about $8 without shipping. Otherwise this is a great, suspension seat-post that easily outperforms any telescopic posts for any hard-tail riders.
