Application: High quality
Mounting: Easy
Use: The rest falls - a slightly when you sit on the saddle - like any suspension. Therefore 1 cm higher than the unsprung saddle adjusted. By the head of the column of the saddle sits a little further back than before. This can be compensated by moving the saddle. The parallel construction, the saddle shifted during immersion slightly backwards. For me this was not perceptible in the training runs.
Design: I had strong concerns about the large parallelogram. What the training colleagues say? That's why I ordered the same to me the appropriate coating which is intended to protect the camp at the same time against pollution (in addition previously wrapped in cling film because the coating is not waterproof, s local review..) The costs again 20, -. Ouch. But at least so that it is optically not a problem, especially if you - like me - behind the tool bag leads to the saddle with him. On the contrary, it looks pretty good. Saddlebag: The existing on the bag attachment to the seat tube (Velcro) could no longer be secure because the coating. I have used a reclosable longer Kabelabbinder this.
Effect: Yes, what can I say: I'm thrilled. My expectations were far exceeded. In any case, etc. at root passages is similar to a Fully the comfort effect. The grip is changing course by little. In particular, when exiting the rear stairs jumping happily to himself, so that the control of the wheel is a bit more difficult. Here is a clear difference to Fully noticing. But that was previously clear.
Great rocking motion while climbing I can not determine, in any case no longer than even the curly front fork (80%) has. Irrelevant for me. A derating over the training colleagues can not be seen, but of course can not be so readily evaluate.
Provide off: why only 4 *. There are elastomers for three weight classes. Montier is medium "to 85kg". Attached are that for the weight class including (I believe 40 - 60kg). I was already so far, when ordering the brace mitzubestellen also elastomers for the heavy weight category (from 85kg to 1xy kg). But then would be another 10, - - 15 - happened. So once to see how it works with the media. As it is written, I get along very well with it, but think it would be more appropriate if one of the most expensive spring seatpost would include these elastomers, so you can experiment with different elastomers. In terrain the higher weight class could be interesting to make the response firmer.
Long-term behavior: No statement possible. With buying decision but were also the Lagerkits that it for about 25, - are what will be a requirement for a multi-year commitment.
Conclusion: Professional, MTB-compatible. Expectations were exceeded.

Update 03/06/2015
Well, the first euphoria is gone: I have the support now six weeks in operation, 2 - 3 times a week MTB, so let's say 20 * down. Result:
In spring the direction it has some play. If you sit and goes, this is without effect. Standing over rough passages rattling it. Mmmmmh. In the last trip they also began to creak, so I spoke to a colleague on training. I have the support adjacent to the neoprene cover (protects and provides for all, not so menacing from) corresponding to the tip from another review with cling film (under the neoprene cover) umwicklet to better protect against moisture and dirt. This could be clearly seen, which was withdrawn from the camps powdery abrasion.
Functionally I would indeed so just refer to as "no effect", but at the price that's not so great.
I have for 20, - ordered now the repair kit for the camp and get me harder elastomers so the rest not much ss works. On Youtube, the bearings are lubricated in the videos of Canecreek. I'll run and see how it goes then everything properly. Am, however, skeptical and the total financial cost runs so slowly on the 200, - ran. I prefer this by now, but would other with identical purpose recommended the brace once not to buy.
The rating I reduce from 4 to 3 stars.
