Bike Radar tested 5 comparable seat-posts and Ergon’s CF3 Canyon came out as the clear winner! The seat post exceeded expectations by dominating in all categories of testing. The CF3 Canyon sored above the rest in seat post deflection at minimum and maximum insertion depths. The Ergon post also absorbed the most vibration in analytical tests and subjectively provided the smoothest ride quality with reviewers.
Excerpts from BikeRadar.com:
The Ergon CF3/Canyon VCLS 2.0 performed the best in the static load tests, at both the maximum and minimum insertion depths. Simply put, the twin flat sections allowed for far more movement than any of the other contenders – a fact that was not only verified in the test jig but also supported by feedback from test riders.
The Ergon/Canyon seatpost was the clear winner in terms of deflection under load. In addition, the Ergon/Canyon post was not only the most effective at removing the sting from bump impacts, its advantage only grew with increasing loads. In other words, it was great at neutralizing smaller impacts but truly exceptional at taking the sting out of bigger ones.

Once again, the Ergon CF3/Canyon VCLS 2.0 easily walks away with the prize here, not only absorbing the most vibration during our prescribed test loop based on data collected by on-board accelerometers during two trial runs but also subjectively providing the smoothest ride quality.
