The Arrow mountain bike seatpost is a solid performer. It's made its way into Funn's Bored of Black (BOB) range and now comes with a red, blue or yellow stripe around a white or – ironically – black post.
Our 30.9mm diameter, 400mm long seatpost weighed in at 278g – impressive when combined with its price and construction. The twin-bolt cradle clamp offers more than enough adjustability and holds the seat firmly in place when set. However, the combination of grit, grease and slamming the saddle down for descents scuffed the gloss white finish pretty quickly.
