On the quest for grams and inspired by 11.11 deals, I purchased the Elita One carbon hardware set for Fox Transfer dropper posts. The kit comes with titanium hardware as well.
Overall, I am very impressed with the fit and finish of the kit. I have~250 miles on it on my Transfer SL without issue. It loosened up once on the first ride with the seat sliding back a bit. Once tightened, it has been trouble free.
The weight savings is pretty great for the $15.xx purchase price. 34g (15g from Ti bolts, 19g from carbon plates) saved over factory hardware with no discernable downsides. A recommended weight wienies mod for sure.

Interesting. I looked at these but wasn't sure how well they would work on a Transfer post. Maybe I will order a set of those for my hard tail (has the same carbon post shown in the picture). Thanks for the tip.

lol ;D
I did the same using the hardware from a spare elita seat post forgotten in a dark drawer in the garage, I did it because I thought it was the carbon seat making much noise, rather the guilty was the fox hardware. The weight saving it’s a nice consequence of course. I’ve also ordered black bolts from wanifa store (always my choice for titanium bolts) , 35 mm front and 40 mm rear.
