Like Hebe, I could never get the suspension post on our tandem just right, and found it pretty uncomfortable. Maybe for the road? But not for real MTB riding.

They help with stutter type bumps when you have to be pedalling to keep going. That type of riding. They are not for sitting on your bike going down hill, etc. I agree you do take up much of the bumps with your legs and out of seat riding, but there are times when you ride a hard tail that these posts will help. I used one with my old very stiff aluminum Klein before FS really was much of an option to most of us.
