Anyone Tried Elita One Master Post?

[jonathanf2]

I pulled the trigger on the Elita One Master seat post. It came up on Early Bird special for $23 USD and I wanted a °5 degree seat post anyways. I'll report back when I get it and hopefully I don't get shish kebab'ed!

That’s a a great price! I paid 47 I think

I think I looked at it so much on AliEx, it finally just gave me a cheaper price I couldn't resist! Damn algorithms!

Did a quick test today on a new build I am breaking in. Seatpost worked fine. When I was initially building my new setup a small crack of the cosmetic layer made a small noise, contacted Elita and they said not to worry about it and would replace it if need be. Initial parcel was sent with the wrong internals but was quickly corrected by Elita. Will try to give a full review in a few weeks. Must say it looks amazing. Can't comment on the compliance, its feels  as solide as my previous Thompson Elite.

Hmmm can you show a picture of this cosmetic crack? Seems a bit concerning despite Eliza’s reassurances.

I have one, had to sand it down to fit the seattube, it's prone to slippage, and it only takes oval rails. then again it held up for a few years now and does flex. For the same price I just bought a used genuine canyon one tho, so I wouldn't buy again. I have that lexon too, hassle free, if I wasn't invested already, I'd probably buy the elita one.

How does the lexon compare compare to the canyon one? Are the copies even close or worth it?

I have just fitted the Lexon seatpost to a new bike, but haven't put significant miles on it, yet.
The Lexon very much is a regular seatpost, while the Canyon / Ergon seatpost has a significant amount of flex in it - from a comfort perspective the Lexon is nowhere near the Canony / Ergon design.
I also bought a Elita One Master, but have not mounted it to a bike, at all.

The lexon one claims it helps with vibrations. I plan on doing a 10k tour but it might be worth getting the real thing or even the red shift one for my case but nice to see other options.
