Hi, there are several models of XLC seatposts available on Amazon but not much info about them - I found the XLC Katalog PDF though: http://www.team-xlc.de/epaper_xlc_2017_en/index.html#177 which helped a bit.

Notwithstanding the many arguments against such devices, all I'd like is some input from those in the know, and/or owners about the relative differences between say, the S08 (3200) https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product...sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

and the S05 (1100) https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product...sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE,
apart from approximately £10 (Edit: now about £6 due to price fluctuation). S08 has an offset of 8mm, the other 15mm. TBH I don't know what that means :blush:

The S07 is obviously the top of the range but costs about the same as the seemingly more popular SR Suntour SP12 NCX.

Loch side.
Offset refers to how far fore/aft the centre of the mounting clamp is off-centre from the axis of the post.
