Kinekt Post is in the Top 5 upgrades for the ultimate bikepacking rig

The suspension BodyFloat Kinekt Post is often an overlooked accessory for long-distance cycling.

As with the Lauf suspension fork above, the requirements for travel are significantly lower than needed in a trail-centre-ready full-suspension bike. At only 515g for the 27.2 aluminium or 453g for the 27.2 carbon-fibre version there are some considerable weight savings to be made over all the necessary shocks, linkages and swingarms needed for a full-sus bike.

The seatpost gives you ample ‘cushy for your tushie’ while leaving the main frame triangle free from suspension gubbins for a full-size frame bag. Weight-specific springs allow a high level of precision tuning to suit rider weight, desired comfort and factor in any additional load from a seat pack.
