With the ShockStop, the suspension stiffness ramps up much more slowly as the suspension compresses.

That means that the suspension feels relatively stiff, and in practice, it’s virtually impossible use the full 33mm of stated suspension travel. Suspension Feel - The elastomer suspension elements of the Thudbuster are sandwiched in between the linkages, meaning that the stiffness of the suspension ramps up very quickly as the suspension compresses.That means that, with a given spring installed, you can precisely adjust the feel of the seatpost to match your weight and riding style. The ShockStop Seatpost allows you to change stiffnesses by swapping out springs, but it also includes continuous preload adjustment. That means you’re stuck with one of three stiffnesses. However, there is no preload adjustment, and the gaps between elastomer stiffnesses are relatively large. Adjustability - In order to adjust the stiffness of the Thudbuster, you swap out different durometer elastomers.Admittedly, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but we think that internalizing the spring element and minimizing the visual bulk of the mechanism allows the seatpost to maximize both form AND function. One of our primary goals with the ShockStop Seatpost was to create a sleek, understated design that matches the visual design of modern bicycles. Appearance - Bicycles are sleek, elegant machines, and we believe that adding comfort should not mean sacrificing aesthetics.However, there are a couple of important differences between the two designs: The ShockStop and Thudbuster have a lot in common - both utilize linkage-based designs with approximately 33-35mm of travel, and both weigh just under 500g.
Here's how the ShockStop compares to a few of the better-known suspension seatposts on the market today. Then we rolled our experience into the design of the ShockStop Seatpost.
We figured out what we liked and what we didn't. During the development of the ShockStop Seatpost, we logged hundreds of miles on basically every type of suspension seatpost on the market.
