Kinekt Suspension Seatpost: New Design, Easy Saddle Clamp, Silver Springs, XL 300lb Option

Cirrus Cycles has been rebranding their Body Float suspension seat post product to Kinekt in recent years. The product is designed to keep riders "connected" to their bikes and is a popular accessory for electric bikes because riders tend to go further, maintain a higher average speed, and sit in a more upright body position. During the Interbike show in Reno Nevada, I spoke with one of their pro riders and the CEO about updates for 2019. This is what I learned:

The head of the suspension post has been smoothed, sculpted, and rounded out a bit for improved aesthetics, and the bushings and bearings are more protected and sealed against dirt and grime
They added a spring to make the head clamp easier to work with (the spring gently pushes the clamp open so it's easier to install a saddle)
They are moving to all silver springs, because they look nicer, but black indicator lines help identify different spring weight levels
They have a new heavy duty suspension post that is rated for riders up to 300lbs
The product is offered in 25.4mm, 27.2mm, 30.9mm, 31.6mm diameter as well as 350mm and 420mm length and Small, Medium, Large, or XL weight ranges

The Kinekt suspension seatpost can support riders from 80lbs all the way up to 300lbs. Each model is sold with a specific seat post diameter and length, as well as a weight rating. Fo those who want to use one post between multiple bikes, consider getting the 27.2mm post diameter and adjusting the fit using shims. Each Kinekt comes with multiple springs to adjust within that weight rating as well. They sell aluminum alloy as well as carbon fiber for those who want to reduce weight. Kinekt does sell an adjustment knob for use without a hex wrench tool.
