Yep, I would follow the advice that @alialias posted. I’ve got the regular canyon post and it flexes loads. Dunno if you can still buy them, or if they have a max rider weight rating. Amazing piece of kit.
I'm confused by the bikeradar data -- both canyon vcls flex loads but the ritchey dampens vibrations better than the regular vcls (not split design)....I thought both would go hand in hand?
I see, I still couldn't fork out that much on a seatpost for a pinnacle that gets an hour a day tops riding.
