Does this actually work out lighter than using a carbon post?
I don't know the tubing used in this build, but a 650mm Columbus XCr seat tube is 275 gram. A Zipp 330mm carbon seatpost is 170 gram and needs a minimum insertion of 100mm. So yeah it sort of does make sense if you're going for lightness.
But like Hulsroy said, it's mainly the HHS kudos.
