Awesome! They make a nice suspension stem, too.
Is the Suntour damped or just a spring?
It uses an internal (adjustable) spring, and the design allows the saddle to pivot back, rather than up and down. This keeps your leg length to the cranks the same throughout the motion.
It's very comfortable, and almost no maintenance (you lube the spring every once in a while).
When I got it, it was just over $100, which was way cheaper than any of the other high end suspension posts. I think it's gone up at least $50 since then, but that's still a good value. LOL
