SDG I BEAM
lighter than pivetol
as adjustable as rails but as simple as pivetol
as for strength - one time i shagged this hip at the trails, as in hipped too far so missed the landing. landed flat on my seat from i guess 10feet up. and everything was fine
perfect

Pivotal seems like a great idea, but it is less adjustable than a rail seat. On a BMX, however, especially with the new trend of slammed seats, nobody cares. You might as well just duct tape your seat to your seatstays.

You're a minority. I'm running a Pivotal but soon will be running a traditional railed seat, as I do not slam mine, and don't really care about the lightness.

I like my pivotal apart from when it happens to need tightening / undoing. Finding the bolt pisses me off
