I've ordered a Doric carbon seatpost for my XC bike and like an idiot i don't think i checked it out properly. On closer inspection it says it is great for soaking up ROAD Bumps which might not be suitable for XC Riding!!! Anyone using one of these themselves on a MTB??

you will be fine
been running a carbon road seatpost on my xc bike for well over 2 years
No problems so far
I'd be very interested to know what makes a seatpost (or stem) road or mountain bike specific?
Do you reckon they ask it at the QC dept at the factory if it feels an allegiance to road, off road or if indeed it swings both ways and likes a bit of both? :-}
I know my Deda Zero 100 stems and FSA-K seatposts go where they're pointed withut complaint on my mountain bikes although the ones fitted to my road bikes don't normally go off road. I think they might be a liitle more effeminate.
As above, chucking it on and forget about it's marketing speil, you'll be fine (nice seatpost as well).
Oh thats reassuring to know, maybe it'll be ok then!!
Cheers
