A height-adjustable seat post is a must in enduro, but it also makes sense in other disciplines. That’s because it’s a big advantage to get the saddle out your way in challenging terrain \u2014 in order to have the necessary freedom to drop the saddle and shift your body weight more effectively.

Decisive factors are the rider’s leg length and the seat tube length of the bike. The permitted insertion depth is also important. But enough of that, now to the action \u2014 let’s see what Bungi has to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
