Do these offer much in the way of suspension?

It's an aluminium tube, how much suspension are you expecting????

Just thought that like a curved seat stay it might flex more than a straight one.

Fair enough, but errrm, no. Not that I've noticed.

I wondered about that but mine is way stiffer than the race face one it replaced. Awesome bits of kit though.

Well compared to an inline Thomson, with a fair bit of post out they do feel like they have more give. But Thomson inline posts are insanely stiff anyway. I went from inline to layback and do think it has more give but if your after a seatpost specifically with some flex try somewhere else..
