• It's 25.4, not 27.2.

    The whole reason is that they're slightly more comfortable than a 27.2 seatpost, instead of having a little rubber block on the seat tube like Trek, they opt for a more traditional way of reducing vibration going up to your backside.

    It's one of the many reason why I told @dancing james to get the Synapse.

  • Noticeably so, can be further improved by having a decent carbon seatpost.

    The new 2016 Cannondale SuperSix now come with a 25.4mm seatpost, the previous Supersix have 27.2, further back to 2013, it used to have a whopping 31.6mm.

    Oversized = stiffness usually, useful for frame, bar, stem etc. but with seatpost, you don't want to feel every small vibration travelling up your backside.
