A height-adjustable telescopic seatpost makes every mountain biker a better rider. Full stop. "Complete rubbish", some die-hard cross-country racers may now think. Lowering the saddle on descents? I don't need to, I can get down anywhere as it is. What's more, these things are far too heavy. Admittedly, at 481 to 592 grams, the weight of an automatic telescopic post can't compete with a standard system - you're carrying around 250 to 350 grams of extra weight. And that's it for the disadvantages. Full stop.
